I thought it would be helpful to let folks know there are better alternatives than--in particular--the Arduino IDE.Mike Shimniokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602015624941667574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983110881018172452.post-49482554227263618382013-07-06T20:09:45.728-06:002013-07-06T20:09:45.728-06:00Huh.

I use PSPad<br /><br />It manages my projects nicely, it has color settings for every possible file format, and previews my HTML instantly. It's also tiny and rocket fast.<br /><br />I do all my editing on my Windows machine, no matter if it's a Windows program, a Linux process, Arduino, HTML... everything. If it needs to go somewhere else prior to compiling (RE: A linux machine like a RasPi), I copy the files to the destination with a batch file via SAMBA and run the command line compiler in an SSH window. If it's a Windows program? The same, except I'm running the MinGW command line compiler and I don't need to copy the files. That way my work flow is basically the same no matter what I'm doing.<br /><br />Interestingly, PSPad has auto complete for braces, etc. I don't use it. I prefer to complete them myself, I find it faster in that I'm always completing them myself anyway, resulting in double brackets.<br /><br />I've posted on your site before as "TeslaFan".Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10822813448774466706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983110881018172452.post-75361054520672897662013-06-28T19:47:38.539-06:002013-06-28T19:47:38.539-06:00Whoa!

The arduino footprint is limiting (I prefer the mini format for most of my projects -- there is a mini netduino, but it only has a few IO pins).Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17446200010203354724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983110881018172452.post-70462578583981570232013-06-27T22:43:44.026-06:002013-06-27T22:43:44.026-06:00Woah, cool tip!

They use .NET Micro Framework and hence MS VS Express. It's a pretty neat concept.Mike Shimniokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17602015624941667574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5983110881018172452.post-91538195786193628062013-06-27T21:54:52.060-06:002013-06-27T21:54:52.060-06:00Funny coincidence: I found an article two days ago...Funny coincidence: I found an article two days ago about using MS Visual Studio Express for programming Arduino; I'm just now getting close to getting it working (okay, I haven't spent more than an hour working on this). Good news is that MS-VS Express is free, but if you can get the "Pro" version, there is an arduino debugger plugin.
