Program Arduino without installing anything
No IDE download. No driver setup. No admin password. Open Chrome, plug in your board, click Run.
Web Serial, not a download
Your browser talks straight to the board's USB serial port. There's no native installer — Chrome and Edge ship the bridge already.
Locked-down laptops welcome
School Chromebooks, work laptops, library machines — the browser is the runtime. Nothing to install means nothing to ask IT for.
Hardware you already own
Standard Uno, Nano, Mega. Plug in over USB, the editor sees the port, the code runs on the real board in seconds.
See it run
The editor is the real product. Open it and drag two blocks in — that takes ~30 seconds, no signup wall.
Open ArduinoStudioQuick answers
Do I really not need to install anything?
Correct. The editor runs in the browser tab. The browser's built-in Web Serial API talks to the board's USB port directly — no installer, no extension, no Java applet.
Which browsers work?
Chrome, Edge, and Chromium-based browsers (Arc, Brave, Opera) ship Web Serial. Firefox and Safari don't yet, so for those we offer a tiny bridge app — but Chrome and Edge cover ~70% of desktops already.
What about flashing firmware on the board?
Most lessons run over Firmata, which is already on most pre-flashed boards. For boards that need StandardFirmata flashed first, the editor's connect wizard guides you through a one-time upload — still no installer.
Does this work on a Chromebook?
Yes — Chromebooks are actually a great fit. ChromeOS supports Web Serial natively. Plug your Arduino in over USB, open the editor, code runs on the board.
