Recommended Arduino IDE versions for Z-Uno and Z-Uno2

[GregN]

Hi,

What are the recommended Arduino IDE versions to use for Z-Uno and Z-Uno2? The getting started pages (https://z-uno.z-wave.me/arduino-install/) seem to suggest quite old versions (1.6.5 for Z-Uno and 1.8.16 for Z-Uno2) which don't offer the latest Z-Uno package versions, only up to 2.1.7 for Z-Uno and 3.0.7 for Z-Uno2. Furthermore, as noted by others, the latest Arduino IDE (2.3.2) doesn't work with compilations failing.

Thanks,

Gregory

Board package Zuno2 version 3.0.10, was latest version from: https://z-uno.z-wave.me/files/z-uno2/pa ... index.json not working witch IDE version 2.x.x. and displays the following errors:

Latest working IDE version is 1.8.19. However, the beta versions board packages Z-Uno2 from: https://z-uno.z-wave.me/files/z-uno2/pa ... index.json are working without problems. Beta version it also has great support on this forum and bugs are constantly being fixed.

It is best to use the latest board packages to make electronic boards work together. I after updating the firmware in one, due to the development of the software, I had to update the firmware in the others so that they could exchange information.

For larger projects, I recommend Visual Studio Code with the Z-Uno extension. It has an IntelliSense feature that parses the syntax of newly declared elements in the sketch.

I haven't used the first version of Z-uno, so I don't know in this case, so I can't comment on it.

Hi element,

Thanks for the suggestion to use the beta version of the z-uno 2 board package - that actually works with the latest Arduino IDE 2.3.2 (but z-uno packages don't). IDE 2.1.1 seems to work ok with the latest non-beta version for z-uno 2(3.0.10).

Do I have to uninstall Z-Uno2 3.0.10 before I install the Beta version 3.0.12? I ask because the installation of Z-Uno2(Beta) in Arduino IDE 2.1.1 fails repeatedly.

[Steve_Elves]

Nope. Doesn't work that way either. Any suggestions?

To bypass, try downloading Arduino IDE version is 1.8.x and through it install Z-Uno2 3.0.12.
