arduino-sketch
arduino-sketch lets you compile and upload Arduino Sketches without the IDE. Just use your favorite editor to write the Arduino .ino files and call arduino-sketch my.ino -u.
Usage
arduino-sketch my.ino will compile the my.ino file. It remembers the name of your sketch, so you can just call arduino-sketch the next time.
See arduino-sketch --help for more info.
Configuration
arduino-sketch uses local configuration (.arduino_sketch) and a user configuration (~/.arduino_sketch). Some configuration options are:
arduino_dir:
Path to the Arduino core directory. Should contain the hardware and tools directory.
avr_tools_path:
Path to avr-xxx binaries.
arduino_port:
The Arduino serial device.
Defaults to /dev/ttyUSB*, but this will only work if you have a single USB serial device attached.
board_tag:
The name/type of the Arduino. See --list-boards and --board options.
Install
arduino-sketch is registered at the Python Package Index (PyPi), so you can install it with pip or easy_install.
You will still need the core components of Arduino 1.0 or higher. Note that arduino-core on Debian 6.0 is <1.0. See here on how to install a package from Debian testing.
For example on Debian:
sudo aptitude install arduino-core python-pip libyaml-perl
sudo pip install arduino-sketch
To uninstall:
sudo pip uninstall arduino-sketch
