👝 Как установить программное обеспечение Arduino (IDE) на Linux

Arduino – это широко используемая электронная платформа с открытым исходным кодом, используемая для создания устройств, которые взаимодействуют с окружающей средой с помощью датчиков и исполнительных механизмов.

Она состоит из программируемой аппаратной платы и программного обеспечения (интегрированная среда разработки (IDE)) для написания и загрузки программ на плату.

Прежде чем вы сможете начать создавать проекты с использованием Arduino, вам нужно настроить IDE для программирования своих плат.

Arduino (IDE) – это бесплатное кроссплатформенное настольное приложение с открытым исходным кодом, которое позволяет писать код и загружать его на плату.

Оно работает на Linux, Windows, Mac OS X и Linux.

В этой статье мы расскажем, как установить последнюю версию программного обеспечения Arduino (IDE) на компьютеры с Linux.

Установка Arduino IDE в системах Linux

Программное обеспечение Arduino (IDE) – это пакет, который не требует какого-либо конкретного процесса для различных дистрибутивов Linux.

Единственное необходимое требование – это 32-битная или 64-битная версия операционной системы.

Скачайте программное обеспечение Arduino (IDE)

Перейдите на страницу загрузки и загрузите последнюю версию (1.8.12 на момент написания) программного обеспечения Arduino (IDE) для поддерживаемой архитектуры системы.

Вы можете выбрать между 32-битной, 64-битной и ARM-версиями, поскольку очень важно выбрать правильную версию для вашего дистрибутива Linux.

Кроме того, вы можете использовать следующую команду wget для загрузки пакета программного обеспечения Arduino (IDE) непосредственно на терминал.

Затем распакуйте загруженный архив с помощью команды tar.

Запустите скрипт установки Arduino IDE

Теперь перейдите в извлеченный каталог arduino-1.8.12 и запустите скрипт установки с привилегиями root, как показано далее:

Arduino IDE Digispark Setup in Linux Mint

Created on: 19 July 2020

Part 3 of the Digispark Arduino Tutorial Series

This part of the Digispark Arduino tutorial series shows how to set up the Arduino IDE to program Digispark ATtiny85 boards in Linux Mint, and should work with other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu. After setting up the software, the board is tested by loading a Blink sketch to it that blinks or flashes the on-board LED.

The basic steps that must be followed to program a Digispark board using the Arduino IDE in Linux Mint are 1) download and install the Arduino IDE, 2) install board support in the Arduino IDE, 3) add your Linux user name to the dialout group, 4) add udev rules to the system and 5) test the installation by loading a sketch to the Digispark board.

Digispark and compatible boards, as shown in the image below, can be programmed from the Arduino IDE in Linux Mint and other Linux distributions such as Ubuntu after following this tutorial.

Instructions in this tutorial and in the video that follows are based on the Digispark programming instructions on the Digistump Wiki and the Linux Troubleshooting page on the Digistump Wiki that includes Ubuntu and Arch troubleshooting steps. Either watch the video below, or follow the instructions below the video.

3. Add Linux User Name to the Dialout Group

In order to be able to program any board from the Arduino IDE, the Linux user must be added to the dialout group.

Open a terminal window in Linux and enter the following command:

Enter your Linux password when prompted.

You will need to log out and then log back in, or reboot, for the changes to take effect.

4. Add udev Rules to the System

To be able to program the Digispark board from the Arduino IDE in Linux, udev rules must be added to the system. This is done by creating a file in /etc/udev/rules.d/ that contains the rules.

Create a text file called 49-micronucleus.rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/ and add the following rules to it.

In order to be able to create this file in the file system, you will need root permission. This can be done by opening a terminal window and entering:

The above line opens a new file called 49-micronucleus.rules with root permission from /etc/udev/rules.d/ in the nano command line text editor.

After running the above line to start the nano editor, copy all of the udev rules code from the listing above and paste them into the nano editor using the keyboard combination Ctrl + Shift + V.

In the nano editor, press Ctrl + O and then press the Enter key save the file and then Ctrl + X to exit the application.

Finally enter the following in the terminal window to reload the udev rules.

5. Testing the Digispark Linux Mint Installation

Uploading a sketch to a Digispark board works differently from other Arduino boards. The board must not be plugged into a USB port, but must first be selected in the Arduino IDE. No port is selected. The sketch is uploaded, and when a prompt appears in the Arduino IDE, the board is plugged into a USB port. The following tutorial steps show how to load a sketch to a Digispark board.

Digispark Blink Sketch

The following sketch works on both Model A and Model B Digispark boards. The difference is that Model A boards have the on-board LED connected to pin 1, while the Model B boards have the on-board LED connected to pin 0.

Copy the following sketch and paste it into the Arduino IDE window. Save it as digispark_blink or a name of your choice.

Select the Digispark Board in the Arduino IDE

From the top menu in the Arduino IDE, select Tools → Board → Digistump AVR Boards → Digispark (Default — 16.5MHz) to select the Digispark board.

Load the Blink Sketch to the Digispark Board

Click the Arduino Upload button on the top toolbar before plugging the Digispark board into a USB port.

Wait for the prompt at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window, as shown in the following image.

When the prompt Plug in device now. (will timeout in 60 seconds) appears, plug the Digispark board into a USB port of the computer.

After the sketch finishes uploading, a success message running: 100% complete and >> Micronucleus done. Thank you! appears at the bottom of the Arduino IDE window, as can be seen in the following image.
