Arduino Web Editor

Story

The "Grove Beginner kit for Arduino" can also write programs and interact through the web editor. In this way, even if the Arduino IDE is not installed in the computer, as long as you can access the Internet, you can write programs anytime and anywhere!

Here I would like to share with you how I use the Arduino web editor to upload programs to the "Grove Beginner kit for Arduino". It is as easy as 3 steps only - 1. create an account 2.instrall the Arduino Agent 3. choose the board, now let’s see it step by step!

1.1: Go to https://www.arduino.cc/

1.2: After signing up, go back to the main page and right beside the account icon, there is menu of directing to more Arduino platforms, choose Web Editor;

2.1: As this is the first time signing in to Web Editor, the Agent is not installed yet, so a yellow window pops up as a reminder;

2.2: Click LEARN MORE to download the Agent

*There will be some pop-up here, if the Agent cannot work properly, it may be that your firewall or anti-virus software has blocked it, it can be removed from the protection list, or be allowed to execute.

2.3: When entering the download page, it shows the features that Arduino Create Agent provides with:

Choose accordingly the version

2.3: After the download is complete, click Execute to start the installation. You can customize the installation folder path, and click Next next.

when the "Setup has finished..." window pop up, cluck "Finish"

2.4: Now let's get ack to Web Editor

3.1 Connect your Grove Beginner Kit to the computer using microUSB cable. At this time, we must first select the model and serial port of the development board.

3.2 Choose Arduino UNO, make sure it is the corret PORT, and click OK

3.3 Test upload the first example

Ready! Let's upload an example! The Arduino example on the web version is prettysimilar to the Arduino IDE. You can find the Blink program from Example->01.Basics on the left. After turning it on and uploading, you can see the built-in LED on the bottom left of the development board flashing every second.

If you are using the sensors on the "Grove Beginner kit for Arduino", for example, use "Blink" to make the red LED at pin D4 blink, then you only need to change all the LED_BUILTIN in the program to 4.

Simple and FUN!

/*
  Blink

  Turns an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly.

  Most Arduinos have an on-board LED you can control. On the UNO, MEGA and ZERO
  it is attached to digital pin 13, on MKR1000 on pin 6. LED_BUILTIN is set to
  the correct LED pin independent of which board is used.
  If you want to know what pin the on-board LED is connected to on your Arduino
  model, check the Technical Specs of your board at:

// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
  pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH);  // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
  delay(1000);                      // wait for a second
  digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW);   // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
  delay(1000);                      // wait for a second
}
