notes to myself as I go about getting re-setup to develop and run Arduino

---

current laptop h/w

MacBook Pro Apple M1 Max

macOS Monterey 12.6.1

---

using VS Code and arduino-cli instead of the Arduino GUI/desktop application

Updated arduino-cli arduino-cli 0.28.0 -> 0.29.0

---

Python requirement pip3 install pyserial

---

board list

• Adafruit Huzzah ESP32
• Unnofficial list of all 3rd party boards - very handy

Need to get various boards added to board manager

Remember to update arduino-cli.yaml with necessary url's
file: /Users/chris/Library/Arduino15/arduino-cli.yaml

board_manager:
  additional_urls:
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
    - https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json

---

add board definitions to core via cli

arduino-cli core update-index --additional-urls https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json

---

Handy cli commands

• arduino-cli getting started - quite useful
• arduino-cli board listall
• arduino-cli board list
• arduino-cli core update-index
• arduino-cli board details -b esp32:esp32:featheresp32
• arduino-cli board search esp
• arduino-cli core install adafruit:avr --additional-urls https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json
• arduino-cli core install adafruit:nrf52 --additional-urls https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json
• arduino-cli core install adafruit:samd adafruit:wiced TeeOnArdu:avr --additional-urls https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json -arduino-cli core install adafruit:avrarduino-cli core update-index --additional-urls https://adafruit.github.io/arduino-board-index/package_adafruit_index.json
• arduino-cli core install esp32:esp32:featheresp32
• arduino-cli core install esp32:esp32
• arduino-cli core install arduino:avr
• arduino-cli core install adafruit:avr
• Monitor - instead of screen?

compile commands

• arduino-cli compile docs
• compile, do not upload
  • arduino-cli compile --fqbn esp32:esp32:featheresp32 bme680station.ino
• compile and upload
  • arduino-cli compile -u -p /dev/cu.usbserial-0160E91C --fqbn esp32:esp32:featheresp32 MyFirstSketch.ino
• compile clean and upload (clean can add quite some time)
  • arduino-cli compile --clean -u -p /dev/cu.usbserial-0160E91C --fqbn esp32:esp32:featheresp32 testsketch.ino
