I finally got the command line arduino interface working, and just need to think of a way to package it up… It’s a program by Kimmo Kulovesi (http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/kkuloves/). The thing is that it works, but it seems like a big hack . It’s a giant shell script.

If your interested in a pre-packaged release then take a look at the two files below. It should be a pretty straightforward drop in. I put both files in ~/.scripts & “alias ardmake=’~/.scripts/ardmake’ I also extracted Arduino 0017 into ~/ . I plan to refine the program (basically make my own program), and package everything up into a nifty little package. More to come soon.

I was editing my /etc/rc.sysinit recently and epically borked it. Good thing I made a backup Anyway it’s almost too easy to recover from epic non-boot failure.

1) Boot grub & hit ‘e’ (to edit)

• Add S (or the full word Single) to the end of your kernel line
• Hit enter then ‘b’ (to boot your edited entry

2) You will be dropped into single user mode (after you type your root password)

• ‘mount -o remount,rw /’ (to mount / with read/write permissions)
• fix what you broke, and reboot…
