Hi Phil (e14phil )

How do we ask a question - is it during the Webinar via the control panel?

I have always felt that the real attraction of the Arduino range is the simplicity of being able to quickly get something built. The key to that has been the IDE - there isn't usually much to setup and within minutes you can get a 'blinky example' working to verify the development steps....after that it is down the the user's imagination. Many times I've just copied code from the Internet, pasted it in, perhaps changed the config pins and it works. That is something really special.

Having just bought the VIDOR4000 I see Massimo Banzi stating on a video that Arduino will be producing a simple, visual FPGA IDE. That sounds really great and something I'd really like to have a go with. I'd like to know when he thinks it will be ready. If Arduino keep to their past aim of simplicity then they should be onto a real winner, at least for tinkering and experimenting; we can keep the complex IDE like Xilinx Vivado for the 'heavy' projects.

I now have an Uno, Nano, MKR WiFi1010 and Vido4000 in my collection and really like the way they can all be utilised from the same IDE

Thanks for the webinar.

Is it possible to get a recording of this webinar?

What a cockup. I was told that there would be an email telling how to participate, nothing came. Then you move it an hour back after saying it would be 19:00 GMT. Finally I find my name is not on the list of registers attendees, yet after I register it was there in the list of attendees.

Very cross.
