Arduino Integrated Development Environment (IDE) : Menu Bar Toolbar

The Arduino IDE contains a menu bar, toolbar, text editor, message area, and text console. Sketches are written in the text editor and saved with a .ino file extension. The toolbar buttons allow users to verify, upload, create, open, and save sketches. The message area and text console display feedback and error information from the Arduino environment. The bottom of the window shows the connected board and serial port.

 The Arduino IDE is the computer software that will make it possible to
create, modify, and upload programs called sketches on the computer.
 The IDE window contains a Menu bar, a Toolbar with buttons for common
functions, a Text editor for writing the sketch, a Message area and a Text
console
 Sketches are written on the Text editor area of the IDE window. Sketches are
saved with the file extension .ino which are taken from the last three letters
of the word ACEduino.
 the Toolbar buttons allow short cut clicks to verify and upload programs,
create, open and save sketches, and open the serial monitor.
 The Message Area displays the IDE feedback like when saving and uploading
files.
 The Text console also displays text output by the Arduino environment such
as complete error and other information.
 The bottom right hand corner of the window displays the currently connected
type of Arduino board and the designated computer serial port.
 The number in the bottom left hand corner is the row count of the cursor.
The Arduino Toolbar

VERIFY checks the current sketch on the IDE window for any error.

UPLOAD compiles and upload the sketch to the ACEduino board. Compiling is
the process where the IDE converts the sketch into machine code.

NEW starts a new blank window for entering a new sketch.

OPEN opens a previously saved ACEduino sketch.

SAVE saves the current sketch. If you will be saving for the first time the IDE
will ask for a filename. The Message Area will indicate Done Saving upon
completion
Serial Monitor it displays serial data being sent out from the ACEduino to the
computer. It is a very useful tool for debugging.
