Arduino Create Agent is a utility that bridges the Arduino Cloud Editor (a web-based IDE for writing and uploading sketches to Arduino boards) with local hardware and serial ports on your Mac. It runs as a menu-bar daemon and allows the web editor to detect, compile for, and program Arduino microcontroller boards connected via USB. The Create Agent handles certificate management, device detection, and the upload process, making it essential for anyone developing Arduino projects in the cloud editor. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Arduino Create Agent is available. The easiest way to get it is to visit the Arduino Create Agent download page and re-download the latest installer — the download server automatically serves the native Universal Binary build on Apple Silicon Macs, so you do not need to take any special steps. Quit the current Create Agent from your menu bar, run the new installer, and restart the app. Your existing settings and device associations will carry over. If you prefer not to manually download, you can check for updates through the Create Agent's menu (click the Arduino Create Agent icon in your menu bar, look for an Updates or Check for Updates option) — the vendor's auto-updater should also be available and will pull the native version.
