Arduino Tutorial | How to Organize your Code using Multi File Tabs on the Arduino IDE

Hello Engineers! In this video, I show you how to use TABS on the Arduino IDE to organize your code.

☑️ About QRbx
Hi and welcome to my channel! My name is Aary Kieu and I have a B.S in Electrical Engineering. I enjoy working with robotics and will be showcasing some of my projects here. I will also be posting engineering-related tutorials (ones I wished were available when I was starting out in Robotics).

❔ Questions/Suggestions
Feel free to let me know in the comments below. I will respond as soon as I can. Cheers!

I dont know if you'll ever see this, but THANK YOU!. This helped so much more than the hours I spent trying to google how to get this to work.

Such a great function, wish I knew this before. Scrolling like crazy all the time... Thanks!

Out of all the videos I’ve watched about Arduino Tabs, you literally break it down straight so it’s soooo easy to understand. Thank

This will keep things organized. I have 4 sketches and tons of variables. Each sketch is its own function and they work correctly alone. So now trying to get this into one sketch this will help a lot. Never knew this in Arduino and will be using this way from now own.

was gonna look up how to create new class files or something like that. But I think this is way easier and achieve what I needed.

Awesome! Got this down after this video. Great delivery and nice organisation! 👍🏽🤝

Ouch.. i think i just learned something new.. thanks...:) great info

[flinkiklug]

Berry usefull. i am beginner and I want to make it from the beginning right

[OVXX]

wait so by default it runs in alphabetical order?

[auzworld]

can you do this on sublime * im new to it

[mikelee]

When I get an error for a missing file such as kick_int8.h No such file or directory, I add the needed file in a tab. But it is never found. I keep on getting the same error even though it is in the sketch. I have tried to resave. Tried to move the files to the arduino sketch folder. Nothing works. Anyone know why this is? Drives me crazy I can see it right there. Why does the IDE not compile it?

[Boslandschap]

This is brilliant. This is going to help me so much. You make it incredibly easy as your explanation makes it self-explanatory, so thanks

[luqmanharits]

excusme sir, can you share the code ?

[hachikothedog]

hi im new at this but im fast learner ..need help ..want to ask about an argument which i could choose at my 2nd tab a library "defined" command with 3 diff value in my main which run with the program ..well u cud pm me at chealseaphonelab at facebook

I'm over 50, a total newbie, but bailing wire and relay logic won't get this project done. I have to learn this crap! I was enjoying it to right up til the code ran off the screen.
You may have just prevented a dark horrifying decent into madness for me.
Thank you much!

Just randomly found the shortcut ctrl+shift+n and then searched it up to find out how it works.
Excellent video, thank you very much!

[rikvandenreijen]

Great video! Thank you for the clear instructions.

[dasce]

Finally a really clear explanation.
And the naming scheme (nice 'hack' ;-\ ) is key in using tabs optimal.
Thank you very much sir.

[bpbigman]

Thank you for the reply on the biped video. This one is also an excellent example to explain the tabs.
If you have a donate page anywhere please post it. I’ll probably have more questions later, so watch out - lol 😝
Well done!

BRAVO COME TO THE POINT VERY EXPLANATION
