Hi,
I've been using Arduino for a couple of months now and I really like it but I agree that the IDE is OK but not the best IDE I've used but what do you expect for free!
I've used Notepad++ for a while and I thought I'd give it a try for sketches, WOW it's brilliant.
I found the NPPExec plugin for Notepad++ and, if I understand it correctly, it can run scripts to run external compilers etc.
Has anyone got any experience using this pugin with Notepad++ to drive the make process etc.
Or some other options: -
- Can we request the Authors of the Arduino IDE to make a plugin for Notepad to give us a button to compile the Sketch?
- Add some of the features found in notepad++ to the Arduino IDE, like auto indent, highlight matching words, auto grouping by braces.
Just some of my thoughts.
