Does anyone know if there is a version of the IDE available that only has a compile and download capability? I need to give the code to someone and have them load it on hundreds of boards. They don't need the ability to see (or screw up) the code. Or can I program one arduino to load a sketch into another?
Just send them the HEX file and use AVR-dude.
Get a Kanda programmer - plug onto ICSP connector, press 1 button, wait for LED to stop flashing.
Can set fuses for security too.
Thanks guys,
How do I generate the hex file, for using AVR-Dude?
The IDE creates it. Turn on verbose outputs during the compile, you can see where it ends up.
You guys rock. Thanks
