Arduino Software

The Arduino IDE is a cross-platform tool for easy editing and uploading of Arduino programs. The front-end builds on Processing and is written in Java. The code that runs on the board is based on the Wiring API and makes use of the Procyon AVR-LIB. See the API reference [ http://arduino.berlios.de/index.php/Main/APIReference ].

Download

The IDE is available for Mac OS X [ http://download.berlios.de/arduino/arduino-0002.dmg ] and Windows [ http://download.berlios.de/arduino/arduino-0002.zip ]. On Linux, you'll need to build the source code and the avr-gcc tool chain. Also useful is the serial proxy for talking to an Arduino board from Flash or other programs (Mac [ http://download.berlios.de/arduino/serproxy-0.1.3-3.bin.macosx.zip ], Windows [ http://download.berlios.de/arduino/serproxy-0.1.3-3.bin.win32.zip ], source [ http://download.berlios.de/arduino/serproxy-0.1.3.src.zip ]).

Currently, the PC distribution does not contain a bootloader folder. For bootloading, download this [ http://webzone.k3.mah.se/projects/arduino-workshop/upload/download.asp?file=5111112332431&enc=False&lang=english ] and unzip into your Arduino directory.

Source Code

The source code [ http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/arduino/trunk/ ] to the IDE and the on-board library is available. Also see these instructions [ https://developer.berlios.de/svn/?group_id=3590 ] for getting a copy of the code.
