Netbeans & Arduino setup on Windows 7

Projects Libraries
1

Hello all,

this is one Arduino newbie XD

I am just starting with Arduino. I am used to Keil uVision and used to structural project files binding. I want to setup Netbeans with arduino, but I stucked.

Can you first help me, which software to install? I have a pc with Windows 7.

  1. Netbeans
  2. Arduino
  3. ??
  4. ??

How to configure? I've found several documents on google, but all of them use OS of Linux. I am not so much a software guy, so I am stuck.

Another question is, is it possible to use Arduino with Keil uVision? That would be even better for me, since Netbeans is new for me.

Please help!

I understand you desire to use what you know but as a windows user you might find it useful to know that you can use Atmel Studio with the Arduino plugin.

Atmel Studio is very easy to use and you will be building your Arduino project within a very short space of time.

Atmel Studio also has an Arduino usb debugger.

Sorry if you feel this suggestion is unrelated to your request.

I want to setup Netbeans with arduino

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought NetBeans was a Java development platform. Java doesn't run on the Arduino. No one has implemented a Java VM for the Arduino (and I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen).

Hello,

thank you guys for participating in this debate.

As I understand Netbeans is IDE and you can set up various compilers (C, C++, Java....) and so arduino.

I want Netbeans because my next step is to learn some Java FX, which can be programmed in Netbeans too. I don't want to learn two IDE's if it is not necessarry and also Netbeans is like industry standard.

Those are good reasons to persist with your quest :slight_smile:

It does also depend on how much time you have for your project(s). Other Ides like Atmel are much simpler than Netbeans, based on your experience I think you would find it a doddle to get a sketch compiled in Atmel, zero learning. So in terms of the overhead of learning a simple Ide such as Atmel Studio or learning how to make a flexible and simple build system with intellisense in NetBeans the learning curve and also the up & running time is certainly shorter for Atmel. I also find that the more Ides' I learn the easier it is to learn others, same with programming languages.

Just my two pence and might not apply based on your longer term objectives. Best of luck.
