Move from Codebender to the Arduino Web Editor

Arduino Web Editor

Sadly <a href="https://codebender.cc/home">Codebender</a> is shutting down. The good news is that we have the <a href="https://create.arduino.cc/editor">Arduino Web Editor.</a> The best part? You can move all your work from Codebender to the online IDE with just a few simple steps.<h3 >1. First, you need to download all your Codebender sketches and libraries.</h3><ul ><li >Login to your Codebender account.</li></ul><ul ><li >Select a sketch, press the download button, and choose <code >.zip</code>. Repeat this for every sketch you want to export.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/4e17e18e-29d9-4de7-9f14-820b047c4c48.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >If you have any custom libraries, download them by pressing the “<code >Download All</code>” button in the home view. </li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/7a72183a-44cc-4ff5-8d05-28213908bf37.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >You should end up with a variety of sketches and libraries in <code >.zip</code> format</li></ul><h3 >2. Next, put together a valid sketchbook.</h3><ul ><li >Create a folder and move all the <code >.zip</code>s inside of it. Detailed instructions for each OS can be found below.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/05e54ef8-120d-4d09-a6cd-bf2629408b4a.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><h3 >Linux &amp; Mac</h3><ul ><li >Select the <code >.zip</code> file. For Mac, double click on it to unzip it. For Linux, right click and choose “<code >Extract Here</code>”.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/0acb4ba0-ee02-4de4-a92d-3f895aa53750.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >All the sketches are now unzipped.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/a8c893d2-373d-44c2-bfca-dcf2bccd2542.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Create a folder named “<code >Sketchbook</code>”, and move all the sketch folders in it.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/be223283-e5b1-408f-a03f-1c8f361d5bed.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><h3 >Windows</h3><ul ><li >We recommend you use <a href="http://www.7-zip.org/">7-zip</a> to unpack multiple files. Alternatively, you can double click on each individual <code >.zip</code> and choose “<code >Extract All</code>”.</li></ul><ul ><li >Select all the sketches, right click and pick “<code >Extract files…</code>”.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/976fbacf-7b88-4a76-b368-7f4ba9d96813.PNG /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >In the result dialogue window, type “<code >Sketchbook</code>” in the current folder as the target.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/add8b765-d529-4d38-b017-2f68b404e622.PNG /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Unzip library zip to the sketchbook folder, it will have a default name along the lines of &#34;<code >personal_libraries_xxxx</code>&#34;.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/37ce77a5-e135-449e-8f89-787ac2396e2f.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Rename it to “<code >libraries</code>”.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/c59135e9-a7b9-4a37-aa3e-3365f5b71581.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >Please make sure the whole package is smaller than 100MB, and each file is smaller than 5MB.

Last but not least, import your sketchbook into the Arduino Web Editor.</h3><ul ><li >Go to <a href="https://create.arduino.cc/editor">create.arduino.cc/editor</a>, for some general information on how to get started on the Web Editor see <a href="https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/Arduino_Genuino/getting-started-with-arduino-web-editor-4b3e4a?ref=platform&ref_id=424_trending___&offset=0">this tutorial</a>.

If your sketchbook is big (containing lots of files), this may take a while.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/840d5811-ef23-4bb7-907e-2aba5c5c7aee.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure><ul ><li >And that’s it! There will be a report of the sketches imported. If you already have sketches with the same name in the online IDE, these sketches will fail to import to avoid conflict.</li></ul><figure><img src=https://projects.arduinocontent.cc/3c26f71e-2404-4ff1-b02b-a6832262e121.png /><figcaption> </figcaption></figure>If you have libraries in the sketchbook, another report will tell you those that successfully imported. If you have existing custom libraries with the same names, it’ll prompt you to overwrite the existing ones.
