Video: Create Your First Project and Upload It to Your Board

​

Coming from Arduino IDE: Where Is Everything?

​

1. Creating a New Project

• The + button in the Projects panel header (1),
• The + button in the tab bar (2),
• Settings → New File or Ctrl+N on the keyboard.

int counter = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
  Serial.print("Hello Deneyap! ");
  Serial.println(counter);
  counter++;
  delay(1000);
}

​

2. Saving and Reopening a Project

1

Save

Press Ctrl+S (or Settings → Save). The first time, you are asked for a file name and location. We recommend choosing Arduino File “.ino” as the file type, so your project can also be opened in Arduino IDE.

Creating a separate folder for each project and saving the file with the same name as the folder (e.g. Hello/Hello.ino) keeps your projects organized.

2

Check that it was saved

The tab name changes to the new file name (1), the file is added to the Recent Files list in the Projects panel (2), and a File saved line appears in the Compiler Output (3).

3

Reopen it later

• Click the file in the Recent Files list of the Projects panel,
• or choose it with Settings → Open File (Ctrl+O),
• or drag the file and drop it onto the IDE window.

Other code files (.h, .cpp) in the same folder as the file you open are added to the project as well.

​

3. Connecting the Board, Selecting the Board and Port

1

Connect the board to the computer

Plug your board into your computer with a USB cable that supports data transfer. Charge-only cables do not show a port.

2

Select the board type

Select your board from the board list (1) in the top toolbar: Deneyap Kart, Deneyap Kart v2, Deneyap Kart 1A, Deneyap Kart 1A v2, Deneyap Mini, Deneyap Mini v2 or Deneyap Kart G.

3

Select the port

Select the port your board is connected to from the port list (2) (such as COM3 on Windows, /dev/ttyUSB0 on macOS/Linux). If the port does not show up, press Refresh Ports (3).

If you are not sure which port belongs to your board, unplug the board and plug it back in; the port that disappears from the list and comes back is your board’s.

4

Check the status bar

The status bar at the bottom of the screen shows the selected Board (1) and Port (2).

​

4. Compiling and Uploading to the Board

• Compile (1): Checks your code for errors; nothing is uploaded to the board.
• Compile & Upload (2): Compiles the code and uploads it to the board on the selected port.

​

5. Reading Data from the Board with the Serial Monitor

1

Select the port

Select your board’s port from the Serial Monitor’s own port list (1).

2

Set the baud rate

Set the baud rate (2) to the same value as Serial.begin(...) in your code. In our example code it is 115200.

3

Connect

Press Connect (3). Once connected, the same button becomes Disconnect. Messages from the board appear line by line in the output area (4).

• Reset Board (1): Restarts the board; your program runs from the beginning. Useful for seeing the messages printed in setup().
• Disconnect (2): Closes the serial connection. When not connected, the same button shows Connect.

​

6. Opening Ready-Made Examples

1

Open the Examples panel

Click Examples (1) on the left edge. You can filter by typing the example name into the search box (2).

2

Pick an example

Open a library folder and click an example (3). The Core label next to a folder marks examples that come with the Deneyap core; the User label marks examples of libraries you installed.

3

Upload the example

The example opens in a new tab (1). If a board and port are selected, you can upload it directly with Compile & Upload.

​

7. Installing a Library

1

Open the Library panel

Click Library (1) on the left edge.

2

Search for the library

Type the library name into the search box (2) and press Enter.

3

Install

Choose the version you want and press Install (3). You can see, update or remove your installed libraries in the Installed (4) tab.
