Arduino IDE Online/Cloud missing some Adafruit Boards

Post by MerrimacAssistant »

(My very first post)

I'm wanting to program my 2 new Adafruit Boards (Feather M0 LoRa Radio and Feather Bluefruit Sense nRF52840) using the Online Arduino IDE. There's only a small set of Adafruit Boards available. As far as I can see, there's no way to "install" more boards.

Has anyone found support for the Arduino's Cloud IDE?

Based on the docs neither of the boards you have will easily work with the Arduino IDE Online system. Their supported hardware is here:

https://docs.arduino.cc/arduino-cloud/g ... -reference

The Web Arduino On-line does support 3rd party ESP32 boards which would be a good option to try if you have any Adafruit ESP32 boards.

If you want to web based development Adafruit has some options for that as well. You don’t necessarily have to install a native Arduino IDE.

Hey, mikeysklar - Thanks for giving it to me straight. I'd say the Arduino Online IDE is "fine", but not "awesome," so I may just switch back to the desktop Arduino IDE 2.0. The 2 main advantages to the Online IDE seem to be (1) all the updated libraries are there, and (2) I seem to get fewer upload errors. merrimacassistant
