[MOD] Arduino Enhanced Release 1.0.5 for Windows (installer, drivers, etc) +SRC

1.0.4 update

-Updated to official 1.0.4 version.
-New options in preferences to reuse always the current window and open the serial monitor as default.
-Driver installer updated.
-Minor changes to the template Sketch to use the default Bare minimum sketch
-Font now is Source Code Pro due licensing of the old font.
-PATH is not modified anymore (uninstall previous version is recommended).
-Replace All button does not hang the interface anymore.
-Tab switching fixed.
-Control-C without selection now selects the whole line.
-Control-X at the end of the Sketch does not throws exceptions anymore.
-AvrDude.exe updated

Thanks for the suggestions, I tried to address most of them. Enjoy!

There are 2 missing ones, I am still thinking on how to do them cleanly (and easy):
-reset in the serial monitor
-upload hex option

Also some of the suggestions were already implemented (or maybe I didn't fully understand them):
-remove trailing spaces (Auto-format already does this)
-check the "*" symbol added on switching tabs (it was fixed already in the official version)

If you need that bug, you can replace the rxtxSerial.dll file with the one from the official IDE package

Just to voice another vote for keeping a way to reset the board by a IDE switch.

In my case I do remote development (sitting in my warm room with the arduino some miles away I a cold garage) and I love the reset feature.

How this looks to reset your arduino in Siberia from Hawaii?:

The only problem will be the Leonardo, since the reset there is weird. And I don't even ordered one to test yet.

Also, additionally, stepping to a functional version I added some extra features to the boards.txt editor, like the context menu with other values from the same boards.txt file:

Finally, since there are still little issues for fellow windows users hahah (even I forget how to create the log file from the exe) I am thinking on provide little extra help in the next version:

Suggestions? Comments?

I am semi-back into writing programs.

Love the new IDE.

I have bought (yet) another Arduino.

Freetronics one. Same as the other one which won't flash. This one does.

Now I have to try the other board and see what happens.

If it won't I'll send it back as "DOA" when I bought it.

Hi, I was trying to add this but noticed that this already works in the version 1.0 or newer.

Can you check this?

  • starting IDE 1.0.3.
  • file blink
  • deleting comment in last line beginning with the "//"

Now if you press POS1 and then END, you end at the old start of the comment. Lots of spaces.

Press Ctrl-T.

As bevor, POS1 and END positions after a lot of spaces...

Can you download www.techsmith.com/jing.html or something similar to record a small clip of that? I can't really understand your instructions

Try this:

enter this into the IDE:

 int blah;                                        // some comment

Now delete the comment starting with the //.

 int blah;

If you press POS1 your cursor jumps to the begin of the line.

|int blah;

If you press END your cursor jumps to the end of the line.

 int blah;                                       |

I see what you mean, I will fix this, and try to implement the "upload hex" and then publish an update :slight_smile:

Eried,

I understand you might be quite busy, but is there any chance any of my other suggestions be implemented? Specially the ability to explicitely specify the JRE folder to be used. Thanks.

Sure I can but, I need you to develop a little more your idea: Where this option should be? Can you do some tests running the IDE without the exe? (google for the bat and open the pde.jar), can you provide the 2 working bat files so I can fix the launcher? (the problem in this case probably resides on the launcher, not in arduino)

Hello Eried,
I have a problem implementing how to fix a arduino blurry icon in win 7 taskbar
i downloaded your tutorial from here: http://servicios.ried.cl/arduino/temp/windows7_arduino-1.0.1_fix.rar
and when i try the 4th step, and run arduino it say:

"Could not read default settings.
You'll need to reinstal Arduino."

i also tried to replace the "awt.dll" in the "java/bin" folder
but nothing is solved so far.

P.S:
I am using Arduino 1.0.3
sorry if my English is bad

You don't need that fix. Is bundled in this version. (also the fix is for 1.0.1, not 1.0.4)

Hey eried,

By mistake i installed both the non-java version and Recommended version of your Enhanced Arduino 1.0.4 Package.
After a restart, one of the versions lost the Arduino icon, and shows up with "Unknown File" icon instead.
I have removed both and installed each one again, but i cant seem to get my Icon Back...

What to Do??

Regards

The Icon is like this, and it is the same way in Program Files (x86)/Arduino folder.

EDIT: I am on Windows 7 x64. Please Help.

pic.bmp (56.3 KB)

Manually delete the link from the desktop and then install the version you want (since both versions use the same link, the second one "respected" the existing icon, so it didn't removed it on the unninstall)

Okay, thanks Eried..

@eried,

Thanks a lot...! Problem Solved.
Uninstalled, Rebooted, reinstalled and it worked like a charm.

Regards

I just had to say thanks, fought with the standard release for a sad amount of time before I found this. One liter of Pepsi coming your way my friend, my night just got alot better!

Eried ,
This installed perfectly. I have been trying to program ATTiny 85 for several days and run into a brick wall. I followed the same instructions with your 1.0.4 and it worked without a hitch .

Thank you for sharing !

Okay! it's Auto-format fixed now. Enjoy!

Nice it worked fine for all of your machines.

PD: My pepsi stash is full for now! :smiley:

Great work, thank you very much.
