Get Board Info missing serial number

jabmel · 2022-11-18T21:09:01.113Z

Hi. I note the new IDE won’t show the Arduino serial number in the get board Info window.

I use this to validate I have the correct Arduino before I upload software updates. As I have 10 connected to the same PC I don’t always trust the com port number has not changed and double check I have selected the correct Arduino via checking the mega serial number. Has this been moved elsewhere. Or can the IDE be updated to provide this previous function

Hi @jabmel. Unfortunately this feature has not been implemented in Arduino IDE 2.x yet. The deficiency is tracked by the developers here:

github.com/arduino/arduino-ide

Show board serial number from `Tools` > `Get Board Info`
