Arduino ide with chrome book

Using Arduino Interfacing w/ Software on the Computer

Here are the alternatives for chromebooks:

  1. chromeduino works:
    ChromeDuino - Chrome Web Store

However, no external libraries (ok for K12), and compiling is on their server, so if codebender.cc cannot pay for that anymore, and all go there, they might run into problems.
On the other hand, they work on local compilation in javascript, so then no server needed anymore.

  1. edu.codebender.cc

Has libraries, but is paying. 10$ per month for 20 students. Small price, but an overhead.
Codebender has a lot of open source: codebender.cc ยท GitHub Somebody can probably create an instance for a local server from that

  1. put chromebook in devel mode (GitHub - dnschneid/crouton: Chromium OS Universal Chroot Environment), install crouton, and then install the normal Arduino IDE. Works without problems, but students can easily put the chromebook out of devel mode, and then you need to reinstall everything (VERY annoying)

  2. push arduino.cc to port create to chromebook
