I am trying to install the arduino toolbox on my
windows 64. I use Scilab 5.5.2.
Usually to install I select the "box" atoms in scilab but the box
does not show the arduino toolbox in the list of toolboxes.
I downloaded the file "arduino_1.1-1.bin.x64.windows.zip" and unzipped but after that I do not know what to do to install the tool box and follow the examples.
I really need to use Scicos to monitor sensors through arduino thus the installation of toolbox is mandatory.
Install Scilab 5.4.1. It contains an Arduino tool box.
The same thing happens with me with Scilab 5.5.2 but it happens only occasionally with some computers. The reason is also unclear to me, but for the time being, uninstall 5.5.2 and use Scilab 5.4.1.

I am using windows and I installed the Arduino IDE from Microsoft store, but I wanted to code everything in VS Code. When I want to run the program or select the board it just says this:
Cannot find Arduino IDE. Please specify the "arduino.path" in the user settings. Requires a restart after change.
How can I fix this, where can I find the arduino.path?
Install PlatformIO extension for VS Code. It has Arduino framework and it works with all possible boards, and then some.
For me nothing could make Arduino IDE.app (2.0 beta) work. Switching to 1.8.6 (Arduino.app), putting that into my Applications folder (so the path is /Applications/Arduino.app) and setting the VSCode setting to:
"arduino.path": "/Applications/Arduino.app"
Fixed this error (and got me to select a board, which I was able to do with the command palette. Make sure to open the new non-beta Arduino.app and add any existing board manager jsons, such as esp32 in my case, that might have already been added to the beta Arduino. The libraries appear to already be in place.)
I also had to add this to my C/C++ settings for includePath:
${workspaceFolder}/**
/Users/<owen>/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/1.0.6/**
At this point "verify" began working. It was still pretty slow, and flashes the Arduino splash screen while running, so I'm now going to follow the platformIO advice and see if it's any better.
P.S. At first I also got an error about [Warning] Failed to generate IntelliSense configuration but think I fixed this by clicking the "don't show again" or similar on the popup that appeared in the lower left. (Similar errors show up on syntax issues, so could be related to that instead.)
everyone, i've been trying to use Arduino IDE 1.8.12 to compile scripts into a Digispark ATTiny85 usb board from a 4GB Raspberry Pi 4 running Raspberry Pi OS.
First problem i was that when going to the IDEs board manager to install the Digistump, it gave back the "micronucleus is not available for your operating system" error. I managed to work around this by replacing the json url suggested by digistump by the one provided on the second entry of this post.
After doing so, a "compatible" version of Digistump was listed on the boards manager and was able to successfully select the Digispark board and the micronucleus programmer under the Arduino IDEs Tools dropdown menu.
This is where the second problem appeared:
As i compile the script, the Arduino IDE console returns the following message:
"
Arduino: 1.8.12 (Linux), Board: "Digispark (Default - 16.5mhz)"
Sketch uses 2788 bytes (46%) of program storage space. Maximum is 6012 bytes.
Global variables use 124 bytes of dynamic memory.
An error occurred while uploading the sketch
/home/pi/.arduino15/packages/digistump/tools/micronucleus/2.0a4/launcher: 1: /home/pi/.arduino15/packages/digistump/tools/micronucleus/2.0a4/launcher: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
"
And that's as far as i could go without getting messy or going into stuff i didn't quite understand.
Now, a few considerations:
-As I said, im running raspberry pi os on a 4GB raspberry pi 4 and using Arduino IDE 1.8.12
-Also, im kind of a newbie, even though i've been coding on an arduino UNO for about a year, i've never tried any other boards, also, I got the pi on march this year and it IS my first encounter with linux based systems, I've noticed things can get really messy or complex very fast so please have patience with me :)
-This is my first stackoverflow question and even though i've read the guidelines to posting questions here, something might have escaped my attention, also, i did search for this before asking but again, maybe i didn't see the right post, if my question is either poorly detailed, already answeed elsewhere, or anyhing can be improved about it, please let me know.
thank you all in advance for the amazing community you carry upon your shoulders.
cheers from argetina
Yeti.
To anyone out there who might run into this problem, I was able to fix this by following a comment on the post linked on the question, by doing:
sudo apt install git
git clone https://github.com/micronucleus/micronucleus
cd micronucleus/commandline/
sudo apt install libusb-dev
make
cp micronucleus ~/.arduino15/packages/digistump/tools/micronucleus/2.0a4
sudo cp 49-micronucleus.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/.
git clone https://github.com/digistump/avr-dummy
cd avr-dummy
make
cp avrdude ~/.arduino15/packages/digistump/tools/micronucleus/2.0a4/launcher
Note: I had already done this before, but I think it didn't work because i had gotten messy with the alternatives, this option worked for me only after doing a fresh installation Arduino IDE.
Like on that arduino.cc post, I am now able to upload my payloads to the digispark with no problem what so ever.
Cheers
To execute the Qt executable in ARM board i need Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.3-arm , but I don't find any site to download and install Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.3-arm. Anybody having idea of how to do it please guide me
Angstrom cross compiler is better option when compared to Trolltech/QtEmbedded-4.6.3-arm because the Angstrom cross compiler works fine in arm based boards.
I'm currently reading a Japanese book on embedded OS/RTOS es except that I am not using the recommended hardware as I already had a seeeduino microcontroller.(atmega328p) The book is about KOZOS "12 steps to making your own embedded OS" by Sakai Hiroaki(It's hiro-something)
I'm stuck at the part where I need to write into the flash ROM of the atmega328p because the author is using a different chip called H8. He uses a software called h8write and uses that in his OS, but I honestly have no idea what is going on at this point, and what the avr replacement for h8write would be. I've looked around to no avail as there is minimal documentation on what h8write does aside from the "it helps you write to flash ROM" that shows up in the book.
This is the first time I'm doing lower layer stuff and it's frankly terrifying...
I'm using ubuntu 14.04 if that helps.
If I understand correctly, the h8write program is supposed to run on your computer and transfer the compiled to the microcontroller. You are using a seeeduino, which is an Arduino compatible board, with Ubuntu. The standard way of programming on this environment is with the arduino software:
install the arduino package (sudo apt-get install aruino)
type the command arduino from a terminal emulator: this brings an IDE where you can type your code
connect the seeeduino to an USB port
click on the button with a right-pointing arrow: this will take care of everything (compiling, linking and uploading to the seeeduino)
Once you are comfortable with this workflow, you can try to get your hands dirty with low-level stuff. The Arduino IDE is built on top of smaller utilities like avr-gcc, avr-libc, avr-as and avrdude. Avrdude is the program used to transfer the compiled program to the Arduino/seeeduino, i.e. write to the flash. You can use these utilities directly, from the command line. This is however complicated by the fact that you will need to pass many command-line arguments, so I recommend you automate the process using a Makefile. Thankfully there is a generic Arduino Makefile available that makes this quite easy:
install the generic Arduino Makefile: sudo apt-get install arduino-mk
read the instructions in the comments at the top (the Makefile is at /usr/share/arduino/Arduino.mk)
write your own project-specific Makefile as per these instructions
type make to compile your program
type make upload to upload to the seeeduino (i.e. write the flash).
This application note tells you how to write the flash memory during program run.
A very good tutorial on how to use the PROGMEM attribute in AVR microcontrollers can be found here
I am trying to hook my beagle board to qt creator 2.3.1 running on Ubuntu Linux. I tried to find a good tutorial for this and found that qt documentation has nothing on this.(I do not understand why there is a feature which documentation does not bother to explain how to use). Could some one please explain how to do this?
Cross compile qt for beagle board This post should be at help
Open Qtcreator and go to project tab and select the tools -> options. Select Linux devices and add the device. For this beagle board need to be attached. For the option of host name it is required to add the ip address of the device. Other than this other fields are self explanatory. Test Button would assist in checking the device addition.
Then in the project settings under Run configuration in the Deployment drop-down box select Build tar ball and install.
At this point tool chain and the cross compiled qt version should be added in the qt creator.
Basic procedure should be done by now and when the application is run it should be deployed on the device at the specified location.
