Arduino Sketch Generator

Project description

The next version of this tool on 07/16/2013 previta to be published at any time, provided that all requirements for the next release is reached.

Build Status PyPy compatible

The Arduino IDE is a very good tool when you are learning to develop for AVR family of microcontrollers, but it becomes a barrier to more structured projects. In view of these difficulties it was decided to create a tool to automate the creation and maintenance of projects.

The sketchduino will create a complete project, a project will be created with the following structure:

  • binary (result of compile processes)

  • lib (custom libraries of projetct future)

  • include (custom libraries of projetct future)

  • src (the code of you project)

  • tmp (temporary files of processes of compiler)

How to install this

To install sketchduino is very simple, as it is a python tool you can install it using the tool easy_install or pip is the second most recommended.

See how we can install using easy_install:

root@host ~/ # easy_install sketchduino

With this command will be installed and its dependencies sketchduino Site Packages Python.

Now see how to install using pip:

root@host ~/ # easy_install sketchduino

With this command will be installed and its dependencies sketchduino Site Packages Python.

How to use this

The sketchduino is a command line tool, but its use is very simple and can be easyly integrated with some good editor such as Vim and SublimeText. Let’s see how to use sketchduino.

user@host ~/ $ sketchduino --help
usage: sketchduino [-h] [--processor MCU] [--clock CLOCK] [--sdk SDK_HOME]
                   [--avr AVR_HOME] --cmd COMMAND [--project PROJECT_HOME]
                   [--programer PROGRAMER] [--variant VARIANT]

The Arduino Sketch utiliter

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --processor MCU       The name of Microcontroler Unit.
  --clock CLOCK         The clock of Microcontroler Unit in MHz.
  --sdk SDK_HOME        The path for SDK of arduino.
  --avr AVR_HOME        The path for AVR/GNU compiler.
  --cmd COMMAND         The command for Sketch utility.
  --project PROJECT_HOME
                        The home directory for project.
  --programer PROGRAMER
                        The programer hardware for deploy you firmwire.
  --variant VARIANT     The variante of your arduino.

Command Help

The secret of this tool is are your commands and you can see the list of commands with the following command:

user@host ~/ $ sketchduino --cmd help
