The Arduino Area Popup menu has these options:

  • Arduino on Left - display the picture of the Arduino on the left and the Program window on the right
  • Legend - display the digital pin legend on the top right of the Arduino picture
  • Show Volts - this option allows for the analog number to be displayed as volts in the format x.xx (accurate to 0.01V)
  • Minimize - turn off the Tool bar and menu to make the Arduino picture as minimal as possible. the program can be resized to then only show the Arduino picture and the Title (which shows the sketch name).


  • Load Sketch - load a sketch into the program window - useful in minimize mode
  • Show All Pins - display all pins on selected Arduino hardware - useful for seeing which pins are where
  • Hid all Pins - hides all pins and shows the Arduino in the reset state - note that doing this in the middle of a sketch running may reset pins to default state


  • Uno - set the Arduino board to a Uno type
  • Due - display the  Board picture as the ARM-based Arduino Due
  • ESP01 - Espressif ESP-01 ESP8266 WiFi board
  • ESP32 - Espressif ESP32 WiFi and Bluetooth board
  • Teensy 4.0 - Teensy small Nano style board
  • Teensy 4.1 - Teensy longer board
  • Papilio - FPGA platform
  • Mega - set the Arduino board to a Mega type
  • Mega 75% - same as above but with a small picture to fit most laptop screens
  • Nano
  • Other - configure your own board
