This project provides a project template for the Code::Blocks IDE, which allows easy creation of Arduino projects. It is based on several other such templates. The template provided by Code::Blocks Arduino project is used as a base. Its main goal is to provide easy to use standalone template, which can be used in vanilla Code::Blocks install.

##Features

• Dedicated project wizard for Arduino development
• Integrated Arduino core files and libraries
• Calls AVRDUDE for uploading (Flash and EEPROM) via USB or programmer as a post build step
• Allows the user to select what targets/devices he/she wants to build for
• Allows the user to choose the enabled libraries
• Setups every target to build object and binary files in a separate folders

Requirements

The wizard requires minimum Arduino 1.6.9 to work properly. The Wizard does not support Arduino 1.0.x. Code::Blocks SVN rev 9843, because there are some changes in the Scripted wizard plugin.

Installation

1. Install and configure GCC AVR compiler in the Code::Blocks
2. Checkout or download the Wizard to your computer

On Windows:

On Linux:

1. Create the directory structure ~/.local/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/

2. Create a link to the location of the wizard from the steps above: ~/.local/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/arduino-> /<somelocation>/cb_arduino_template

3. Copy the main config.script file to the local config locations: cp /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/config.script ~/.local/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/

4. Add the following two lines in the RegisterWizards function to the file ~/.local/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/config.script if missing

   RegisterWizard(wizProject, _T("arduino"), _T("Arduino Project"), _T("Embedded Systems"));
   RegisterWizard(wizTarget,  _T("arduino"), _T("Arduino"),         _T("Embedded Systems"));
   

5. After you create a project with the wizard the Global Variables dialog will show up and will ask you for the path to the root of the Arduino installation:

ls ~/bin/arduino-1.6.9/
arduino  arduino-builder  dist  examples  hardware  install.sh  java  lib  libraries  reference  revisions.txt  tools  tools-builder  uninstall.sh

Notes

Tested only on Linux. If you test it on Windows or OSX and make changes please provide patches.
