Why I use the Portable Arduino IDE [Two Minute Tidbit]
Two Minute Tidbits are roughly two minute long videos that try show you something interesting about working with Arduino.
In this video I’m going to show you the Portable version of the Arduino IDE and explain why it’s actually really useful, I even exclusively use the portable version where I can. It is really useful if you have library conflicts between different sketches
You basically just download a zipped version of the IDE and create a "portable" folder, but what I think is more interesting is why you might want to use it.
