This is a web-version of a tutorial chapter embedded right into the XOD IDE.
|
||
To get a better learning experience we recommend to install the
|
||
<a href="/downloads/">desktop IDE</a> or start the
|
||
<a href="/ide/">browser-based IDE</a>, and you’ll see the same tutorial there.

There are several ways you can add a new node to the patch in XOD. The
|
||
effect is the same, use one that is more handy for a given situation.

|
||
## How-to
|
||
|
||
For instance, let’s add few new `led` nodes.
|
||
|
||
One way is using the Project Browser. In the node list, you will find the
|
||
`xod/common-hardware` section. This is a *library* where you can find nodes
|
||
for working with specific hardware. Find the `led` node there. Note that the
|
||
nodes are arranged in alphabetical order. Hover the cursor over the `led` node,
|
||
and click the plus <i class="fitted add circle icon"></i> symbol to add it to the
|
||
patch. Then drag it to any slot.
|
||
|
||
Alternatively, you may drag the node from the Project Browser instead of clicking
|
||
the <i class="fitted add circle icon"></i> button.
|
||
|
||
Yet another way to add a node is the Quick Search feature. Press “I” key or
|
||
double click anywhere on the patch. Then type what you are looking for.
|
||
It searches not only in nodes titles, but even in the nodes description,
|
||
like a small and dumb built-in Google.
