Reply to "Is anybody using the Arduino 2.0 IDE?"

I haven't installed it but I'll jump to it and start there since I have no real Arduino experience.

Bill,

If you've never used an IDE, the second version might be confusing. Version 1 is on the left and resembles a simple text editor. It's perfectly fine for starting out. Version 2 is on the right. I like it because it has a debugger and because it has these vertical lines that indicate and match up the open { and closing }. It's not a big deal for simpler programs, but as the logic gets a bit more complex it is very useful.

If you'd like a good explanation of the differences among the IDE's, check out this YouTube video:

I'm telling you - YouTube is your friend on this topic. thumb Lots of good stuff there on the Arduino and programming.

George
