Arduino Create Agent

Arduino Create Agent is a plugin that was designed to help Arduino enthusiasts connect their devices to the Arduino Create hub, where they can quickly develop new projects, link cloud-enabled devices, access tutorials and get in touch with other members.

Functionality-wise, this little tool is but a single binary that accesses data from a configuration file. It listens to HTTP and WebSocket connections using a range of ports between 8990 and 9000.

After launching the application, it will silently move to the System Tray and continue running in the background, without disrupting any active applications in the foreground. However, users can interact with it by right-clicking the tray icon and choosing the desired feature from the combo menu.

The System Tray icon's combo menu lets users quickly jump to the Arduino Create online service, view the plugin's version, pause it and even open a debug console directly on their default browser.

The debug console displays the version of the plugin, OS details, the name of the host computer and a bunch of commands that can be used. Sending a new command can be done from the designated field at the bottom of the screen. The console also features auto scroll toggle list and log exporting support.
