h1. Setting up Eclipse for Arduino h2. Installing Eclipse and AVR-GCC # Install a Java JRE (or SDK if you need it for other things) ## http:/java.com # Follow the directions on the "Eclipse":http://www.eclipse.org website to install Eclipse for C/C++ ## http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/c.php # Winstall WinAVR http://winavr.sourceforge.net/ h2. Eclipse plugins Start eclipse before continuing. h3. Subversive (for SVN) # MenuBar "Help" > Install New Software... # Look at "Work with:" dropdown # Pick Helios or Indigo # The listing underneath should show a category "Collaboration". Expand it. # Check the box next to "Subversive SVN Team Provider (Incubation)". If there are multiple, pick the latest version. # Click Finish # Answer all of the following menus which are mostly licensing. # Restart eclipse h3. Setting up SVN in eclipse # Click on the View icon in the bottom left corner. (It should look like a tiny window with a +) # Click on "Other..." # In the "Show View" window, expand SVN ## Now Choose SVN Repositories # More dialogs will ask what kind of SVN Connector to install. Choose the pure java version SVNKit with the latest version number. !!!DO NOT CHOOSE JAVAHL!!!! # Restart eclipse # Click on "Other..." # In the "Show View" window, expand SVN ## Now Choose SVN Repositories. A Tab should appear "SVN Repositories" # In the SVN Repositories tab ## Click on the yellow cylinder with a green +. DO NOT CLICK ON THE ONE THAT SAYS SVN! ## The window "New Repository Location" should appear ## Type in the project URL in the URL: field. This is https://projects.cs.ru.is/svn/mechatronics1-2011 ## Under Authentication, fill in the User: and Password: ## click on Finish # A yellow cylinder with "https://projects.cs.ru.is/svn/mechatronics1-2011" should appear # Expand it and see if the files in our project appear h3. eclipse-avr # MenuBar "Help" > Install New Software... # Click on "Add" ## Name: AVR Eclipse plugin ## Location: http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/updatesite ## Click "OK" # Make sure that it is selected under "Work with:" # "CDT Optional features" should show up in the listing. Expand it. # Check "AVR Eclipse Plugin" # Click Finish # Answer all of the following menus which are mostly licensing. # Restart eclipse h2. Installing the ArduinoTemplate # Use the ArduinoTemplate in Libraries. # SVN copy the directory to your project and rename it # Check out the new project # Rename the project in the project explorer # Check in the rename Note, even with this template you will need to setup the AVRDUDE programmer at least once # 1. Right click on the project and select "Properties" # 2. Expand the AVR section on the left # 3. Click on "Target Hardware" ## a. For the Arduino UNO, MCU type is ATmega328P ## b. For the Arduino Mega 256, MCU type is ATmega2561 ## c. Both: The MCU Clock frequency is 16 000 000 # 4. Click on "AVRDude" on the left # 5. Make sure "Programmer" tab is selected # 6. In the "Programmer configuration" are # 7. Click on New... ## a. Configuration name: "Arduino UNO" ## b. Description: "Arduino UNO on port PORT" Put your portname instead of PORT. This is something like COM3 on windows and /dev/ttyUSB0 on linux ## c. Programmer Hardware (-c): choose Arduino ## d. Override default port: choose the port that the Arduino is attached to ## e. Click on "OK" # 8. You may have to do this for multiple ports if the Arduino keeps changing which one it uses # 9. Click on "Apply"
