Arduino CLI

Use the arduino from the command line, to compile and upload

  • Install this:
apt-get install arduino-mk avr-gcc avr-libc
  • Put this in a Makefile
ARDUINO_DIR = /usr/share/arduino
BOARD_TAG    = atmega328
ARDUINO_PORT = /dev/ttyUSB*
ARDUINO_LIBS = NewPing OtherLibs
include /usr/share/arduino/Arduino.mk
  • Choose the BOARD_TAG using this command:
ard-parse-boards --boards
  • Commands
make             - no upload
make upload      - compile and upload
make clean       - remove all our dependencies
make depends     - update dependencies
make reset       - reset the Arduino by tickling DTR on the serial port
make raw_upload  - upload without first resetting
make show_boards - list all the boards defined in boards.txt
