I just came across your channel. What a hidden gem. I'll share it on my blog. I've been bing watching your videos when I can. I really enjoy your videos. Great quality, well produced, and very educational. Keep up the great work your doing. :)
Hi Charles, I really like the projects you are in. And - your kind of explaining and presenting in a cool and calm way. Now, triggered by you showing your IDE 2.x implementation while explaining your helpful tipps and tricks: >how did you manage to show: a) the settings menu (you moved it from right to left) in the example of your mandalorian sketch b) all the .h and .cpp and other used lib-files that apparently are located in the related sketch-folder of the .ino file This is very handy when you have all those files of a project at a glance and can look things up. I could not get the same appearance to show up in my IDE setup. I do have a major project with dozens of .h and .cpp files all belonging to one leading .ino sketch file. The .h and .cpp files are located in a folder called "src" and this folder along with the .ino and a read.me file are in a common project folder with the same name as the .ino file. In PlatformIO this is very handy and shows up as expected - in the Arduino IDE 2.x I couldn't manage to have it visible as you do in your video. So what can I do instead of fully jumping onto PlatformIO (still hesitating as I come from Arduino 1.x previously ...) Raimund
Thanks for your comments. Regarding the settings, one you have open them, you can move the tab settings anywhere you want it. Now if you have a large project, this is where the Arduino 2 IDE loose it's charm, and where VSCode is better. The Arduino IDE 2 is very slowly evolving, so we have to be patient!
@@thelastoutpostworkshop Thank you for your answer. Ok, then let‘s see, if and when they can catch up with platformIO. The charm of the latter is, that you have everything of a project at hand and can edit all project files incl. .h and .cpp within the IO-explorer. So I will try to get more familiar with it and leave the IDE behind, at least for me.
@@raimundtrierscheid6318 I have worked with PlatformIO for over a year and never embraced the A IDE 2.x.x. While A IDE 2.x.x is improving, it has a long way to go. I am lost without code completion and have not found this in A IDE 2.x.x
Awesome! Thanks! What I hate about the IDE is that when I open another file, it opens in another window of some odd size and I have to reposition and resize it's window. The is such a pain and I hate it. Is it possible to change this terrible behavior? Thanks.
@@thelastoutpostworkshop Thank you for the reply. I will look into that, but the Arduino IDE is the only program that I experience this problem with. What happens for you when you open a second or third Arduino file? Does it open in a new window? Thanks

Thanks a lot!
Wow some great settings, thanks, i have done some already on mine
Being new to Arduino IDE, I really appreciate helpful videos like this one. Thank you.
Very nice tips!!!! Love the verbose compile option and the minimap!
Wow! I knew of only two of these. Thank you!!
very useful. Please Explain more Settings.
Mini Map is a Game changer 👍🚀

Is there a way to move the output window as well to the right, like you did for the Serial monitor?
I don't think so, there is no option to do that currently
@@thelastoutpostworkshop ohh okay thanks. Your video did help me very much BTW, you rock!
Awesome! Thanks!

I never has this behavior. There are several settings regarding Window try them if it can solve your problem.

It opens in a new tab in the IDE
@@thelastoutpostworkshop Thank you
@@thelastoutpostworkshop Even if you dbl-click or use Menu/File/Open? I get a small window. Don't need a tab, need a full window.
