h1. Lab Cleanup Tasks [[Lab Cleanup]] h1. Arduino and Eclipse The previous procedure was to install Eclipse then the AVR plugin. There is not a better system that contains all of the modules in one place called arduinoEclipse. h2. Reference * http://eclipse.baeyens.it/ * http://rlogiacco.wordpress.com/2014/01/24/stepping-up-in-arduino-development/ h2. Procedure: # Download and install 7zip if you don't already have it. You will need it to decompress the .tar.gz file. ## http://www.7-zip.org/ # Install a recent Java JRE ## http://java.com/en/download/index.jsp # Download and install Arduino 1.5.6 beta or later ## http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software#toc2 ## *Important: Make sure that you install it in a path that does not have spaces or non-alphanumeric characters.

Run eclipseArduinoIDE.exe # You will be presented with some terse instructions. I am still determining what they mean. # click on menu: Window > Preferences ## click on Arduino ## Make sure that the Arduino IDE path is correct. Something like c:/Programs/Arduino ## expand C++ by clicking on the triangle next to it ## Click on File Types ## Add Pattern: *.ino Type: c++ Source File h1.
