What to do to get started quickly

Wait for the configuration to finish.

This is only the first time after installation of Sloeber

While you wait connect a Arduino to your computer.

To add other boards go to windows-preferences-arduino and add json files and boards.

Do not use Arduino IDE installed platforms. It will not work.

Press the create new sketch button.

Just like in the arduino IDE. but here there is a whole wizard allowing you to start from examples.

Press the upload button.

By default the plugin will ask if you want to build first.
