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

[Jantje]

@Juraj

spot on :-)

thanks

Sloeber is actually SLOEBER and stands for Software Library for Open Boards in an Eclipse Runtime.
Or it is a acronym of the name of my cat -featured at the beginning of most of my Sloeber video's- who just happened to die at the time we needed to find a name because eclipse legal didn"t approve "Arduino Eclipse plugin"

It has to be "Software Library for Open Boards in an Eclipse Runtime."
Who would EVER! call their cat SLOEBER?



Hm,...wait.. maybe you.

Hi everyone !
I want to add an option on this window (See the attached capture), with a library or an other solution.
It's possible ?

Thanks

in boards.txt. in Arduino IDE this is in Tools menu

Ok thanks !
And how do I add a variable in boards.txt to use after in my code?

see the boards.txt file. you will see how the existing menus are defined.

I saw, but I don't understand how to link boards.txt to my program. 
For example, if I put an option to choose CAN (1 or 2 or 3), how can I get it back in my program?

if it is an option in platform.txt the you can set its value.
and you can set -D with 'extra' flags over platform.txt

Thanks a lot

Sorry I ask a lot of questions 
Is it possible to do write conditioner in boards.txt?

For example if CAN1 select, display baudrate selector



Thanks

I think it is not possible, but I am not an expert in this.

This is mostly done by using the otion not--used baud rate 1, baud rate 2 ... as options for CAN1

I installed, on a windows 10 machine,  the windows version 4.3.3 of Sloeber  64-bit bundle as recommended and made sure paths are short and pathnames do not have spaces etc. When I execute  Sloeber-ide the first time it shows some errors along with the message that "Failed to configer Sloeber". Here are the errors copied from the Error Log. I repeated the install on a mac and got a similar error message. Is this something I can ignore? I am a beginner at this. I have previously attempted to install the Sloeber plugin on Yakindu SCT and got the same error; that is why I attempted to install using the method recommended in the Baeyens website.

Sloeber does not come with any platform (read boards) so it tries to install a platform and the platform sloeber tries to install has been deprecated.
Solution
install the platform of your choice at window->preferences->arduino->platform&boards
press on the > untill you can select a version you want to install
select apply and close and wait for it to finish (look at bottom right)
You are ready to roll
