Your code works like a charm and made my day!Īfter getting frustrated with ms-"free-but-register"-license-crap while using the execellent plugin for visualstudio and then getting even more frustrated configuring the eclipse-enviroment for arduino - even while eclipse is my main ide at work - it feels like coming home to a cosy fire & hot cocoa using geany and just hit a a key to verify or upload Print "\n Failed - result code = %s -" %(presult) Presult = subprocess.call(arduinoCommand, shell=True) If (startLine != "python-build-start" or endLine != "python-build-end"):ĪrduinoCommand = arduinoProg + " -" + actionLine + " -board " + boardLine + " -port " + portLine + " " + projectFile PortLine = codeFile.readline().strip()ĮndLine = codeFile.readline().strip() StartLine = codeFile.readline().strip()ĪctionLine = codeFile.readline().strip()īoardLine = codeFile.readline().strip() # next line must be edited to be appropriate for your PCĪrduinoProg = "/mnt/sdb1/Programs/arduino-1.5.6-r2/arduino" # simple program to compile and upload Arduino code using the Arduino command line ino files.ĭemo Arduino Sketch // python-build-start
#Geany mods
ino files to Geany's filetype_nf and as far as I can tell it only associates my Build mods with. The first part is the path and filename for my Python script (obviously change that to whatever is appropriate for your system) and the second part produces the path and filename for the Arduino sketch. I added a command called Upload and in the command box I entered /mnt/sdb1/SGT-Prog/Arduino/GeanyPythonBuild/PythonBuildPuppy.py "%d/%f" In Geany's Build menu there is an option Set Build Commands which brings up a box where you can enter commands for different actions. ino file to be in a directory of the same name applies. The Python code and a demo Arduino program are attached.

It expects lines 2,3 and 4 to have upload (or verify), the board name and the port name respectively. This is a very simple Python program with no error checking other than to ensure that lines 1 and 5 have the required data - just to avoid havoc in case it is passed a file that is not intended for it. The Python script is called from Geany which passes the path and filename of the sketch to it. I have written a very short Python program which takes values from comments on the first 5 lines of an Arduino sketch and creates and executes the necessary arduino command line. However the command line is long and error prone and I don't think there is any way to pass all of the Arduino specific values to it from Geany. I discovered that since version 1.5 there is a command line mechanism for Arduino. That got me wondering about compiling and uploading without using the Arduino IDE, which, in turn, got me wondering if I could make use of the Build menu in Geany.

However I discovered that the Arduino IDE does not display properly - the menus get scrunched up and become unusable. Recently I have been trying out Puppy Linux - which has a lot of attractive simplicities.

I have been using Geany as my external editor for Arduino programming for some time. It may be possible to adapt it for Windows or Mac. These latter features may be used to override decisions made by apt-get's conflict resolution system.This was developed on Linux (Xubuntu and PuppyLinux Tahrpup 6.0 CE).
#Geany plus
Similarly a plus sign can be used to designate a package to install. If a hyphen is appended to the package name (with no intervening space), the identified package will be removed if it is installed. The /etc/apt/sources.list file is used to locate the desired packages. All packages required by the package(s) specified for installation will also be retrieved and installed. Each package is a package name, not a fully qualified filename.
#Geany install
APT simplifies the process of managing software on Unix-like computer systems by automating the retrieval, configuration and installation of software packages, either from precompiled files or by compiling source code.Īpt-get is the command-line tool for handling packages, and may be considered the user's "back-end" to other tools using the APT library.Īpt-get install is followed by one or more packages desired for installation or upgrading.
#Geany free
More information about install using apt-getĪdvanced Package Tool, or APT, is a free software user interface that works with core libraries to handle the installation and removal of software on Debian, Ubuntu and other Linux distributions.
