Yesterday I woke up my Arduino account. Downloaded the firmware. Converted the download from .rar to .zip the latter appears to be compatible with the Arduino cloud IDE. The file then successfully imported. Then hit a few stumbling blocks in that a couple of the libraries weren't available and the IDE didn't find my board/port. The laptop I am using is a work one and I appear to have to get the Arduino 'Agent' installed if I'm going to use the cloud IDE. 
. I and have installed the local IDE version 1.8.15 on the laptop (that is in our library of permitted software, just a bit out of date) 
. I will persist with that I've only used the old interface for blink before moving to the fresh IDE look and feel which I'm more familiar with a bit frustrating that this new post covid windows image on this work PC doesn't permit the cloud IDE. Will be a bit before I can work on this as I have some other projects to do in the fresh air. Well is it that fresh who knows until I start measuring... The sun is shining, hum how much I wonder, and what's the temp? I guess for now I will have to make those judgments the old way.
