Arduino and Eclipse IDE

Electronics
1

I have been programming in C for more than a number of years, and my go to IDE is Eclipse with the gnu tool chain.
For a while, I have been disappointed with standard Arduino IDE so I switched to Eclipse IDE.
By using Eclipse I now have access to all of the tools including debugger.
I need to know how much interest in this. For a future class.
topics to include:

  • program structure (modulize and reuse)
  • graceful and thoughtful exits (return).
  • never use goto @##$
  • eclipse overview
  • eclipse and arduino integration
  • on a tangent. The heck with ā€œwireā€ and lets use C. LOL or how to make the best of both worlds.

I need six brave souls to teach this class.
you should bring your laptop ( mine is Linux) an arduino, and your USB cable.

This will be a ā€˜Brave New Worldā€™ for some of you.

I would be interested in Eclipse!

Can Eclipse debug on an Arduino without additional hardware?

If so, Iā€™ll have to try it.

Will you come to the class?

someone taught an arduino class very recently using the proprietary arduino ide since it has plenty of template scripts and just changing the variables/ values is a pretty quick way for beginners to learn what does what.

thats good info but if you come to mine I guarantee you can put some new tricks in your toolkit.

Iā€™m self taught in Arduino. That being said i didnā€™t learn how to wright my own Arduino code but i have figured out how to use (and how not to plug in the wrong power supply which burnt out 2 Unoā€™s voltage regulators) and get working others code stably.
