Arduino 2.0.3
The Arduino IDE, used by makers and hackers for over a decade, has received a fresh coat of paint. But under the hood, someone has souped-up the engine.
Les Pounder loves tinkering with hardware, so when Arduino revealed its latest IDE, he had an excuse to tinker some more.
IN BRIEF
improvements for board management and software libraries.

Under the hood
T he venerable Arduino is the genus of the current generation of maker boards. Sure, there were PIC chips before it, but Arduino democratised access to cheap hardware. That hardware was great, but the software lagged behind. Last year, Arduino released a beta of Arduino IDE 2.0 and it has now been officially released. So, we see the Arduino IDE modernised with a goodlooking interface, but how does it handle?
