About Arduino●Started as a open source and open hardware project around the avr chip, now “Arduino” is more a huge community that is open to any toolchain and any hardware.–This means a huge community of creators who provide●(open) hardware (boards/shields)●open software (libraries).

●Focuses on beginners and artists. It supports those with a very good and low entrance level Arduino IDE.●Programming is done in C++.For a list of 3th party supported boards: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Unofficial-list-of-3rd-party-boards-support-urls

Arduino is cool but ...●There is no “official” growth path. Nor for hardware nor for software.●Any software developer will (after some uploads) start to hate to work in the IDE●No support for●Refactoring●Call trees●Library development●Version control...made for beginners only.

Arduino Eclipse plugin

●Basically it is CDT with an Arduino sauce.–Project creation based on Arduino info.–Knowing the toolchain based on Arduino info–Adding upload based on arduino info–Added a serial monitor view–Added a scope (actually plotter) view–Easy integration of libraries–Support for ino files

plugin cont.●Comes as.–A plugin. (if you want to extend your installed eclipse)–A product. (Best if you want a new eclipse install)–A web site (http://eclipse.baeyens.it/)–Source code for plugin and website(https://github.com/jantje/arduino-eclipse-plugin)

●A nigthly build uploads a new version to the web server in case of change. ( code and web site)●Has travis integration with github (https://travis-ci.org/jantje/arduino-eclipse-plugin/builds)

Toddler (V3) new and noteworthy1) Single install.

2) Auto library include.

3) Auto Open serial connection.

4) Plenty of visual improvements.

5) Ino files are now build by the builder.

6) Save your scope data.

7) Multiple board version control.For more in depth video’s see https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCSjf7QmP3TDPSjT_5UIp0DHXzKdhIQsF
