New Arduino IDE

Workshopshed

There's been a few couple of upgrades to the Arudino IDE over the last month.

 

Arduino - Software

https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/build/shared/revisions.txt

 

As I'm getting started with the Yun it's nice to see that some of the issues around that have been resolved but I think the feature I'm most interested in is the Library Manager, this should make working on different projects a whole lot easier.

    Neil, that's correct. Not only but I have explored a bit and see that the library manager is based on a JSON file including all the last updated library list organised by category.

     

    The json file is library_index.json and is under the .../Arduino15 folder that is under Windows where you mention, Linux under the Arduino15 ide installation folder and in Mac OSX under /Users/_user_name_/Library/Arduino15 (this last can't be found with finder and should be reached by terminal.

     

    Every library is a json object, very simple to understand in the format like the following:

     

        {

          "name": "TinyWireM",

          "version": "1.0.0",

          "author": "Adafruit",

          "maintainer": "Adafruit \u003cinfo@adafruit.com\u003e",

          "sentence": "I2C library for Trinket and Gemma, adapted from BroHogan's code on Arduino Playground",

          "paragraph": "I2C library for Trinket and Gemma, adapted from BroHogan's code on Arduino Playground",

          "website": "https://github.com/adafruit/TinyWireM",

          "category": "Signal Input/Output",

          "architectures": [

            "*"

          ],

          "types": [

            "Recommended"

          ],

          "url": "http://arduino.cc/download.php?f=/libraries/TinyWireM-1.0.0.zip",

          "archiveFileName": "TinyWireM-1.0.0.zip",

          "size": 15696,

          "checksum": "SHA-256:6b5ee59e855d8415f9e5062e897c590acbbfeb8e93dbf118d47636c869915386"

        }

    Maybe a good idea that the community maintain a version of this file updated with the libraries that are not distributed by the Arduino's friends (e.g. Adafruit & company) but maybe very useful for the developers.

    >  Microsoft standard software installation rules

     

    Sigh.  I really hate the way that "Microsoft standard rules" scatter an application all over the disk :-(
