Can I use the Cloud IDE?

Help & Information
1

I was able to find the arduboy2 library in the cloud Arduino IDE, but I don’t think I can add the Board as described in the community tutorial. There’s nowhere to specify https://arduboy.github.io/board-support/package_arduboy_index.json

Is there a workaround, or should I just accept that I have to install the full IDE?

This is my very first Arduino project, lots to learn and my Arduboy FX is still in the mail, just getting things all prepped. Thanks!

If you’re intending to make non-FX games then you can make do with the Arduino Leonardo board, but if you want to do full FX production then you’ll likely have to use some offline tools - not so much for the board type but because of the extra processing needed to deal with compounding the FX data and loading it onto the FX chip.

Thank you for the quick and informative reply. I’ll install the full IDE now.
