Arduino for TextMate

I’ve been playing with the Arduino Microcontroller for quite some time. It is a fantastic open source hardware project which really opens up the world of Microcontrollers to people all over the world. The developers on the project have included a development environment written in Java. I’m a huge fan of TextMate. I decided to write a plugin for TextMate which allows you to:

-  choose the microcontroller architecture - Atmega 8, Atmega 168, and the Make Controller (forthcoming).


-  Compile and upload to the Microcontroller


-  Show a Serial Monitor using the OSX terminal

Installation

UPDATE: This has been modified for the current release Install the Arduino 0010 release from arduino.cc.

download: Microcontroller.tmplugin

unzip it to ~/Library/Application Support/TextMate/Plugins.

### Building When you build from TextMate, you need to do a few things differently. First, include wprogram.h, and add a main loop. Here’s the template:

#include 

void setup()

{

}

void loop()

{

}

int main()

{

	init();

	setup();

	while (1)

		loop();

	return 0;

} 

About the binary

I’d consider this a .1 release; It hasn’t been well tested. Because of this, there will be bugs.

Future Enhancements

-  User specified makefile (something that gets included into the build process instead of manually walking the tree).


-  Make controller support.


-  Hot Keys for building


-  Don't leak so much
