Sublime/Stino - Building Linnstrument firmware

[BobDog]

Hi Guys,

I have watched Geerts video about development on the Linnstrument, this is very useful for me.

Having used and hated the arduino IDE I was very interested in his use of Sublime.

So I downloaded sublime, and installed the stino package.

For the life of me I cannot work out how to build the linnstrument code in it though.

I have arduino 1.5.8 installed, it builds fine using this.



I have used "Change sketchbook folder” and set it to the linnstrument code folder.

I have loaded “linnstrument-firmware.ino”

I have set the board to the “Due Programming Port”

When I validate I end up with some very strange error messages.


I’m obviously doing something wrong and wondered if anyone could point me in the correct direction?

Cheers

Andy

Hmm, I actually think I had to hack Stino sources itself for the latest version of the Arduino IDE, I'll have a look later and send you what I have.

I would appreciate some guidance here also. I much prefer editing the code with Sublime as you recommend, but when building the code didn't work for me, I open the sketch in Arduino IDE for that. All of this is new territory for me, all of the programming languages and environments.

Super, thanks for that.

Here's a fork of Stino with the small changes I had to do to get it to work with the latest Arduino IDE:

[BobDog]

Thanks, when you say latest Arduino are you talking about 1.6 or 1.6.2?

[gbevin]

1.6, haven't tried 1.6.2 yet, sorry

[BobDog]

Super, I will try 1.6.0.

I was just working back from 1.6.2 via 1.6.1, couldn't get either of those to work!

[gbevin]

Trying 1.6.2 later today

[BobDog]

Worked fine first time with 1.6.0 and your modified Stino, thanks.

One thing I am seeing though is that the error/warning lines are incorrect as they are in the concatenated file created from the .ino files.

I have tried enabling the "Bare GCC build" to see if this might fix this but then doesn't do anything when I verify.

Is they a way around this problem?

Thanks

[gbevin]

No, there's no way around that, that I could find.

I got it working with Arduino IDE 1.6.3 on MacOSX, but it's a real hack job. Created a dedicated branch:
https://github.com/gbevin/Stino/tree/IDE_1_6_3

You need to install the required packages for the Arduino SAM Boards through the Arduino IDE board manager. These packages will be located in your home directory, on MacOSX:

Code: Select all

$HOME/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/

You then also need to create a symlink in the Arduino.app directory so that Stino can find the board.txt and platform.txt files. For instance:

Code: Select all

ln -s $HOME/Library/Arduino15/packages/arduino/hardware/sam/1.6.3 /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/arduino/sam

[BobDog]

Thanks for that.

I have been looking at why stino is not displaying correct error lines and file info and it looks like the #line directives that the arduino places in the concat file are not there when using stino. Does this work for you?

[gbevin]

Have not looked into that, in the year developing with Stino on the LinnStrument, it has rarely bothered me.
