Browse starter sketches by category, preview the source and create a new sketch from a template.

Templates

To avoid writing everything from scratch, Gokino ships a repository of example sketches (Templates) covering common scenarios.

Templates browser

(1) Search templates. (2) Refresh list. (3) Category folders.

Usage

  1. Browse categories: templates are grouped by topic, for example:
    • Basics: Blink, Button, Analog read...
    • Sensors: temperature, distance, light...
    • Motors: Servo, Stepper...
    • Communication: Serial, I2C, SPI...
    • Display: LCD, OLED...
  2. Preview: click a template to open the preview modal with the full source code.
  3. Create the sketch: choose a name and destination folder, then confirm. The new .ino file is created in the workspace and opened in the Editor.

Template preview and create dialog

(1) Source preview. (2) Sketch name. (3) Save Sketch.

Notes

  • File rules: only .ino (or .md for documentation templates) names are accepted; other extensions are rejected. If a sketch with the same name already exists in the folder, the creation is blocked so nothing is overwritten.
  • Offline behavior: the template list is cached; when the network is unavailable Gokino shows an offline warning and uses cached data where possible instead of failing silently.
  • Templates are created as normal files, so you can edit them, checkpoint them with Version History and share them like any other sketch.
