Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
WARNING! I AM __VERY__ NEW TO ARDUINO! :) |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
For a little project I need to program an Arduino board. |
| 6 |
Since all needed lib/scatched/script - or whatever it |
| 7 |
is called in case of the Arduino - are already implemented |
| 8 |
by someone else I will not reinvent the wheel a second time :) |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Therefore I need the Arduino IDE. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Here http://playground.arduino.cc/Linux/Gentoo I found |
| 13 |
some instructions, how to install it on GENTOO (I am on |
| 14 |
a 64 bit AMD machine...) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
But I found this: |
| 17 |
| 64-bit users: |
| 18 |
| librxtx is reported to cause some problems on gentoo linux because of an overflow, |
| 19 |
| causing the IDE to fail. This problem is noted at rxtx here. Please go here for fixed binaries. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Above, "here" is a link ... which cannot be resolved. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Furthermore: |
| 24 |
| Installing the Basics: |
| 25 |
| First you need to log in as the superuser and install some necessary packages: |
| 26 |
| emerge -avq sun-jre-bin crossdev |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
but |
| 29 |
eix sun-jre-bin |
| 30 |
says "not found". |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
So I /think/ this page is a little outdated...? |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
An |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
eix arduino |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
gives two matches: |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
* dev-embedded/arduino |
| 41 |
Available versions: 1.0.5-r1^bs {doc examples ELIBC="FreeBSD"} |
| 42 |
Homepage: http://arduino.cc/ https://arduino.googlecode.com/ |
| 43 |

| 44 |
|
| 45 |
* dev-ros/rosserial_arduino |
| 46 |
Available versions: ~0.7.1 **9999 {test PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" ROS_MESSAGES="+cxx eus lisp +python"} |
| 47 |
Homepage: http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_arduino |
| 48 |
Description: Libraries and examples for ROSserial usage on Arduino/AVR Platforms |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
If the first one is the IDE it is outdated. |
| 52 |
The current version is 1.6.8. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
The second match seems not to be relevant in my case. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Question: |
| 57 |
What software do I need for programming an Arduino board "the arduino |
| 58 |
way to do it" -- preverable installing it "the GENTOO way to do it" |
| 59 |
(read: I like sources and compilations, I dont like bin blobs from |
| 60 |
unknown sources that much...) |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Thank you very much for any help in advance! |
| 63 |
Have a nice weekend! :) |
| 64 |
Best regards, |
| 65 |
