Compile Arduino Code on Notepad++ and Nppexec.

Projects Libraries
1

I spent a lot of time searching around how to do it, but mostly, I found ways of opening up the IDE and pass the .ino path as argument. So I opened up Arduino and compiled a program in verbose and copied the commands with proper Environment variables and execute it in Nppexec. Copy and paste the below code to Nppexec temp script and save.

**Rest of the Script is on Pastebin

Download Script: Nppexec Compile in Arduino Script - Pastebin.com
Replace %uC% with your Microcontroller name:
atmega8, atmega168, atmega328 etc.
Replace %FREQUENCY_IN_HZ% with Frequency of Crystal, usually 16000000
Replace %PATH_TO_ARDUINO% with Path to arduino install directory, usually C:\Program Files\Arduino in Windows
**Remember ** don't add "" anywhere, it's already added.

This could work with other softwares also but you'll have to change the Environment variables like $(FULL_CURRENT_PATH) etc.

I have no experience with a Arduino Mega/Nano so any help and/or suggestions are welcome. Pardon my English, I'm not a native speaker. :stuck_out_tongue:
