Windows/Linux/Mac Eclipse plugin to compile and upload arduino sketches

Hi Jantje,

I had the same problem as Globe.

When compiling the libraries i got the following errors:

Code: [Select]

I see you use arduino 1.0.2. I never tested with this version.
Can you try with arduino 1.0.1?

I believe the issue will remain... I have the same problem as LuisSoares and I'm using arduino 1.0.1.

[Jantje]

I just tested this with Arduino 1.0.1 works like a charm.

@Globe
You state you use Arduino 1.0.1. Can you explain why you get

Code: [Select]

/Applications/Arduino1.app/Contents/Resources/Java/libraries/Wire/utility/twi.h:45: error: previous declaration of 'twi_readFrom' was here
When twi_readFrom is declared on line 43 with me in Arduino 1.0.1?

[Jantje]

I just did a quick test with 1.0.2 and it work fine.
I verified and twi_readFrom is declared on line 43 with me in Arduino 1.0.1 and Arduino 1.02.
As on your systems twi_readFrom is declared on line 45 you are not running a standard Arduino.
Please try installing a standard Arduino version (0022 0023 1.0 1.01 or 1.02) and try again.

Jantje,

I am using a standard Arduino version (1.0.1) but I replaced the original twi.h that was inside utility folder on Wire library with the one I downloaded from Arduino issue #791 http://code.google.com/p/arduino/issues/list?can=2&q=twi.h&cells=tiles .

In the mean time I fixed the issue and arduino team changed the twi.h. So do not download this file. Use the arduino one.

Hi Jantje,

In my case it worked with 1.0.1. . Thank you

I helped Globe with is setup but somehow it didn´t worked, i did the same process.
He is using MacOS might that be a reason?

[Globe]

I tried today with another fresh installation of Eclipse and Arduino 1.0.2 (I never used this version before).

Now everything is working properly (at least it seems so) and I can finally compile Wire library.

Thanks for all your replies.

[LuisSoares]

If i forgot to say thanks, i´m sorry

I´m really glad you developed this plugin and still take the time to help others.

Thank you Jantje

Keep up the awesome work

I want to say thank you for all your hard work and hard time.

Let me start by explaining what i am trying to do with my arduino project.  I have basically created an arduino aquarium monitor/controller for my fish tank. Basically I started my projected by dividing it up into about 15 mini projects.  So i took care of each individual project and eventually combine them all into one. To do this have the main program void setup (){setupprogram1(); setupprogram2(); }..... I quickly realized the arduino ide was just really hard to work with on my larger project so i used notepad++ and then copied the program to arduino ide for compiling and uploading. I tried before to create a file for each project in arduino and get it to compile them but i got missing invalid function errors.

Now after doing some research i find out that eclipse is much better and more capable of doing exactly what i would like. I previous to finding this amazing plugin i tried to follow some tutorials, but they didn't go well. My problem is i am still trying to find out how to create a multifile program and i just can't seem to find what i am looking for by searching. This usually means i am searching for the wrong thing lol.

Greatly appreciate the help

P.S. keep up the great work

superman (is it really you  )
Thanks for the compliments
creating new files is easy in eclipse.
First thing is to decide is what type of file you want? Do you want a class a .cpp a .c a .h ....
Right click your project and select new->class(or header file; or source file; or source folder or just file)

Talk about fast reply
I guess the problem is i don't understand the files (I need to do more research)

Thank You

In the installation guide

2) Set the the indexer to "include Arduino.h"
Add Arduino with its full path to the "files to index up-front"

In my version "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Version: Juno Service Release 1 Build id: 20120920-0800" I don't have the option to index files up front

here is what my screen looks like




Thanks again
