Arduino Upload Package

Did you not like the look of the Arduino IDE but were stuck with it nevertheless? Not anymore, this package provides some essential features of the Arduino IDE.

• Verify a sketch
• Build a sketch
• Upload a sketch
• Serial Monitor
• Error output when compiling
• Files are clickable in build output --> cursor jumps to that line in that file
• Switch board directly in the status bar

Installation

apm install arduino-upload (Requires atom 1.10 or later)

Troubleshooting

• The verify/build output does not appear? Make sure your Arduino official IDE language is set to English.
• Windows
  • Getting Uncaught Error: spawn EPERM? Be sure you don't have the Microsoft Store version of the Arduino IDE. - #65
  • Can't install because of the serialport package? Try installing the Visual C++ 2015 building tools by running .\npm install --global --production windows-build-tools from the directory %LocalAppData%\atom\app-[VERSION]\resources\app\apm\bin in an adminastrative PowerShell (this uses atoms integrated npm instead of requiring an external instance). Then update apm config with apm config set msvs_version [VERSION] (the version installed by the tool should be 2015) and apm config set python [PATH]\python.exe (where PATH is the path to the python executable). - #46

Available commands

• arduino-upload:verify - Verifies the sketches (checking for error output), deletes all sources, though
• arduino-upload:build - Builds the current sketch, the .hex, .elf, .eep and .bin are copied to the sketch directory
• arduino-upload:upload - Uploads the current sketch to a connected arduino
• arduino-upload:serial-monitor - Opens the serial monitor of a connected arduino

You can place these commands in a toolbar using the Flex Tool Bar package. Here's how.
