stevearc / vim-arduino Goto Github PK

User story: When writing more complicated arduino sketches, I want to split the code up into multiple files.

Issue: Currently if I try to use include to inclue another source file, the compilation fails.

How to recreate

Create two files in the same directory:

// test.c.ino
#include "test.h"

void setup() {}
void loop() {}

// test.h
// this file is empty

Try to compile & upload the sketch and this error will appear:

test.c:1:10: fatal error: test.h: No such file or directory
 19  #include "test.h"
 20     ┆   ┆ ^~~~~~~~
 21 compilation terminated.
 22 exit status 1

This code, however, compiles and uploads successfully when using the arduino-ide.

Can you provide details on how to use this plugin for Windows 10 ConEmu?

• I just installed the plugin with the newest version using vim Plug.
• I installed the newest version of the arduino IDE currently available on ubuntu 20 LTS. (arduino IDE version: 2: 1.0.5+dfsg2-4.1)
• I then configured my board, my port, and my programmer that are corret. (i checked the value with the one I use in the arduino IDE that works fine)
• I created a folder named after my project, and created a simple file with the same name as the folder, and opened it in vim.

Using all of the above, I can't verify nor upload a sketch using the vim-arduino plugin.
I have a gtk error dialog telling me:

processing can only open its own sketches and other files ending in .ino or .pde

Then it opens the arduino IDE with my sketch in it.
From the arduino IDE if I perform an upload it works straight.

Do you have any idea why the plugin can't upload the sketch ?

Based on the sketch specification, one may add a file named sketch.json to a sketch folder, so set the board metadata (like fqbn and port) on a per sketch basis. This file can be created using the arduino-cli board attach command.

Would it be possible to use the settings from this file, if it is present, and the global g:arduino_* variables / ArduinoChoose* commands only in case that no such file exists? In particular:

• When compiling / uploading, give command line arguments --fqbn and --port (using vim-arduino global settings) only if not given in the sketch.json.
• Show board / port from sketch.json in the tag bar if present.

As another feature, would it be possible to call board attach to save such metadata, after selecting it with ArduinoChoose*, per sketch instead of globally (maybe as a new vim-arduino command or .vimrc option)?

I think this would be a helpful improvement if one is working on several sketches which are compiled for different board types / uploaded on different ports, so that there is no need to change these settings when switching to another sketch. Also it would use a settings format which is compatible with using plain arduino-cli on the command line.

Nowadays, arduino only uses .ino extension, and .pde extension is reserved for processing.
I have the plugin sophacles/vim-processing installed, which provides syntax highlighting and makes and runs processing sketches.
The filetype detection works perfectly, and .pde files are detected to be processing files.
When vim-arduino isn't installed, running :make builds and runs processing sketches (like it should). However when vim-arduino is installed, it also detects the file to be a processing file, but when running :make, it runs :ArduinoVerify, which obviously fails.
Could you make an option to disable ArduinoVerify on .pde files?
Thank you

Hi !

@salkin-mada and I found a small error. If the arduino sketch folder has a space in it's name, like blinky sketch, vim-arduino does not recognise it (but ARDUINO IDE does is able to verify the same sketch) and spits out the error:

Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS:
Error: Must specify exactly one sketch file

[Process exited 3]

Removing the space from the name makes it work again :)
best regards

PS. The computer used for testing is an Arch Linux installation ,NVIM version 0.4.4, arduino 1.8.13, teensy 1.5.3.

Thanks!

Describe the bug
The commands of the plugin cannot be found when installing it with the lazy package manager, regardless of how I load
the plugin.

	{
		"stevearc/vim-arduino",
		cmd = {
			"ArduinoAttach",
			"ArduinoChooseBoard",
			"ArduinoChooseProgrammer",
			"ArduinoChoosePort",
			"ArduinoVerify",
			"ArduinoUpload",
			"ArduinoSerial",
			"ArduinoUploadAndSerial",
			"ArduinoInfo",
		},
	},

This config should load the plugin when I call one of the commands listed above. It tries to do so, but the commands are not found.

Command ArduinoInfo not found after loading vim-arduino

When I try to load the plugin as non lazy like below, the commands just do not exist.

	{
		"stevearc/vim-arduino",
		lazy = false,
	},

E492: Not an editor command: ArduinoInfo

System information

• OS: Linux, Fedora 38 (KDE Plasma)
• Vim: NeoVim v0.9.2 with lazy
• Arduino: 1.8.19 (as flatpak)
• CLI version: arduino-cli Version: 0.34.2 Commit: 963c1a76 Date: 2023-09-11T10:05:42Z
• ArduinoInfo: Not appliciable

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install the plugin with lazy
2. Try to use any command

Expected behavior
The commands are found in both lazy and non lazy mode

Additional context
I have installed the arduino application as a flatpak, but arduino-cli is installed natively through their provided install script. If I understand correctly, this should not be a problem, as the plugin uses arduino-cli if possible and regular arduino only as fallback. arduino-cli is available from my regular shell, arduino is not (only as flatpak).

In case my complete configuration becomes relevant, it can be found at my personal git server here.

Describe the bug
Trying to upload any sketch, happens to use the wrong baud rate and fails to do so.

• vim-arduino runs with -b19200:

(Brand new installation of Arduino and vim-arduino)

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Open a sketch like Blink.ino
2. Upload it with Arduino IDE
3. Upload it with vim-arduino

Expected behavior
It should had used the correct baud rate and get uploaded (?)

Working command
Running the command just with the correct baud rate just works and gets uploaded.

Additional context
Here's the output of vim-arduino when uploading:

If I do any of the commands from this plugin it gives:
E492: Not an editor command
I am using neovim on arch linux
arduino ide is installed via pacman
I can do :help arduino

It would be nice to have a command that could be used in a mapping to update the default debug serial baudrate.

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Arduino IDE itself, everything works perfectly as expected.

In vim-arduino, it is able to upload to the board perfectly. Awesome stuff.

But, it is unable to execute the "ArduinoChoosePort" command and therefore the "ArduinoUploadAndSerial" doesn't work either, reporting:

Error detected while processing function arduino#ChoosePort:
line    7:
No likely serial ports detected!

It's strange that it is able to upload on the correct port but then can't display or allow choosing of the ports.

Any thoughts?

OS: Arch
VIm: 8.1.470
Arduino: 1.87
Set the path in my .vimrc
Build and upload works, but when it comes to connecting via serial, it gives the error " executing job failed: No such file or directory "
I have chosen the port and board with the vim-arduino commands
Serial connection works in Arduino and arduino-mk

I get this error when trying to copile/upload.

The quotes look strange (' and ")

I was wondering if there is a way to suppress the Arduino IDE splash screen running every time I build or upload. I saw you mentioned it here #6 (comment)

I found this arduino/Arduino#1970 which appears it's not necessarily a result of vim-arduino but the ide tooling itself.

I noticed a couple of things

1. When running the commands from this plugin, it starts the JVM etc with this option

   JVMOptions=..."-splash:$APP_ROOT/Contents/Java/lib/splash.png"...)

I wonder if that can be changed?

2. The previous URL I posted refers to https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/latest/installation/ a new arduino cli. I have installed it using homebrew and it installs arduino-cli to my path.

I dug through the vim-arduino code and spotted g:arduino_executable which I figured I could just change to arduino-cli but this doesn't work. Commands subsequently result in

executing job failed: No such file or directory

and on vim start up i get

Error detected while processing BufRead Autocommands for ".ino"..FileType Autocommands for ""..function 15_LoadFTPlugin[17]..scri
pt /Users/ben/.dotfiles/.vim/plugged/vim-arduino/ftplugin/arduino.vim[7]..function arduino#InitializeConfig[49]..arduino#ReloadBoards:
line 33:
Could not find any boards.txt or programmers.txt files. Please set g:arduino_dir and/or g:arduino_home_dir (see help for details)

If I run ArduinoInfo however, I get

... Verify command: arduno-cli --verify --board ...

Which obviously is using the correct binary.

Having dug into the error above with why I might need to be setting the arduino_dir too, the cli doesn't have boards.txt etc as far as i can tell so I needed to still point the path back to

let g:arduino_dir = '/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/'

(Working out I needed Java/ on the end took more digging.)

I appear to have cleared up the above errors now... but none of the vim-arduino commands exist... Obviously this is more likely my vim but I've reinstalled vim-arduino and removed everything relating to it from my .vimrc and simply can't get any of the commands registering.

Edit:

Having gone back to vim after a short period the commands are available. Obviously something odd going on. Anyway, now that the commands are back, if i try and run :ArduinoVerify for example, I get

executing job failed: No such file or directory

TLDR:

• arduino-cli exists and 🤞 stops the splash screen issue. can we get it to work?
• if we can get it to work, is there a simpler way of doing so than i have done?
• why might using the cli have broken my vim-arduino plugin? are there any caches i should clear or anything?

I am currently using neovim v0.2.0 and when I type a command like :ArduinoVerify there is an output but it closes as it finished. However if I use make, it prompts at the end HIT ENTER TO CONTINUE. That's OK for ArduinoVerify, but I cannot use make for the rest of the commands.
Is there any way of pausing them?

Hi,

Thank you so much for this amazing project. I'm wondering if it's possible reuse an existing tmux window instead of create a new one on every upload.

After installing the plugin with plug, all the arduino commands cannot be invoked either in Vim or NeoVim. The default arduino_cmd is installed at /usr/local/bin/arduino.

Hi,
maybe I do something wrong, but I'm not able to choose different board than default Uno...
I have thought that the list is generated automatically but I see none:

If I write any number I always get this error:

Should I (somehow) input available boards manually?

Hello, I'm beginner of vim using SpaceVim with WSL
I want to use SpaceVim for arduino so i installed this plugins
But :ArduinoVerify gave me error

and this is my vimrc

when i sudo screen /dev/ttyS15 115200, in my vimrc, i got a whole black window and there is no respond except terminating command

------------------------------------------------------------------Edit------------------------------------------------------------------
i solved No such file or directory error but...
i installed Arduino in wsl by copying my arduino in window and try :ArduinoVerify

and :make command also got error like:

so i tried chmod 777 Arduino but it didn't work

If there is something i miss, please help me
and i'm sorry for pool English

thank for your help

I'm using vim-arduino with vim-slime in tmux. Currently the SerialMonitor opens in the same tmux pane as the logging output for uploading. I think one has to close the SerialMonitor to run ArduinoUploadAndSerial again.

Would it be possible to have a third tmux pane open, where the SerialMonitor is running constantly, while one can still Upload to the Arduino and check the logs?

While the plugin works really great, i don't know how to stop/close the serial monitor after opening it and reading the serial stream.
Any pointers?

I'm on x64 Linux (Fedora) with Arduino IDE 1.8.5, vim 8.2 and the latest master of vim-arduino.
For some reason when i list the boards it only shows ESP8266 and ESp32 boards, but no Arduino boards:

In the IDE all boards show up:

Any ideas what's wrong here?

Hi! Just installed the plugin. My IDE is 1.8.13, Vim is at 8.1.1401, and my OS is Debian Buster. I coudn't get :ArduinoVerify to run --- it gives this error:

Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: 
Loading configuration...
Initializing packages...
Preparing boards...
Verifying...
java.io.IOException: No valid code files found

        at processing.app.Base.<init>(Base.java:423)
        at processing.app.Base.main(Base.java:150)

The command it's attempting to run is:

arduino --verify --board arduino:avr:mega:cpu=atmega2560 --port /dev/ttyACM0 --pref programmer=arduino:avrisp --pref build.path='/home/jeff/Arduino/RGB_LED/build' --verbose-upload '/home/jeff/Arduino/RGB_LED/RGB_LED.ino'

Looking at the :ArduinoVerify command, it seems that we can run with TERM being either :! or :terminal!. I should be using :terminal!. Running the command using :! $VERIFY_COMMAND works perfectly fine (and so does running it in a separate terminal). However, if I run :terminal! $VERIFY_COMMAND, it gives the same error.

Could something be wrong with how :terminal! is being used? Thanks!

I am trying to get this running, but am not having much success. If I type :help arduino within neovim, I do get the help docs, but no :Arduino* commands seem to be working.

In the Arduino CLI docs, it states:

Note that on MacOS X, the main executable is Arduino.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino instead of arduino.

Perhaps this is the problem? I tried aliasing the above path to arduino to no avail, and setting

let g:arduino_cmd = '/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/MacOS/Arduino'
let g:arduino_dir = '/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/MacOS/'

in my init.vim yielded no results as well.

After verifying, by calling :ArduinoUpload I get the error:

         Using Port                    : usb
         Using Programmer       : stk500v2
avrdude: usbdev_open(): did not find any USB device "usb" (0x03eb:0x2104)

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Error during Upload: Failed programming: uploading error: exit status 1)

so the port is supposed to be something like

Using Port : /dev/ttyACM0

also in the ArduinoInfo, I get the following

Board           : arduino:avr:uno                                  
Programmer : avrispmkii
Port              : /dev/ttyACM0
Baud rate     : 9600

I tried to find the bug inside autoload/arduino.vim but I have no idea where you declare the "arduino-cli upload", since the :echo arduino#GetCLICompileCommand('-u') would not change the arduino-cli command.

Can you tell me how to correct this bug?? ..because your plugin seems to be very handy! nice work!

ps: compiling and uploading the sketch with arduino-cli works properly.

Please update the airline status at README.md as

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.ino let g:airline_section_x='%{MyStatusLine()}'

else it keeps showing in other filetypes too.

Hi,

Use a core for arduino IDE which is a collection of lib.

The core is in ~/.arduino15/....

how to give this path to your module because for the moment ther are some compilations errors when type :ArduinoVerify

Ty

Hello,
Thanks for this project!

Trying to run ArduinoSerial a second time will result in an error port busy because the screen command is still running.

The problem is the screen command, which doesn't exit after closing the serial panel. (see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6301840/how-to-stop-a-screen-process-in-linux)

I'm working-around this with pkill screen but I don't think that's an acceptable solution.

let g:arduino_serial_cmd = 'tmux {port} {baud}'

tmux /dev/ttyACM0 9600
unknown command: /dev/ttyACM0

Describe the bug
When I run :ArduioChooseBoard, it throws the error in the title. I have arduino installed, and I have pointed to the directory in my ftplugin/arduino.vim with
let g:arduino_dir = "/usr/local/share/arduino"
I have checked that directory, and boards.txt is present in /usr/local/share/arduino/avr/

Working command
This bug is not regarding verify/upload issues

Screenshots

Additional context
I installed arduino with the install.sh script rather than using the Pop!_OS package manager because I wanted the latest stable version. I installed the binary to /usr/local/bin. This didn't seem to put the boards.txt file anywhere at all, such as in ~/.arduino15/, so I looked at the output of "verify" within the Arduino IDE and noted that it was referencing the original downloaded folder where install.sh was located. So, I removed arduino from /usr/local/bin, manually moved the downloaded folder from "Downloads" into a more permanent home at /usr/local/share, and then installed again to /usr/local/bin from there. Now the IDE output shows many references to that folder, and I felt confident to proceed to include let g:arduino_dir = "/usr/local/share/arduino" in my ftplugin/arduino.vim

I included some other sane defaults based on information from the vim-arduino help. Below is the entirety of my ftplugin/arduino.vim file right now:

let g:arduino_cmd = "/usr/local/bin/arduino"
let g:arduino_home_dir = "~/.arduino15"
let g:arduino_dir = "/usr/local/share/arduino"
let g:arduino_build_path = "{project_dir}/build"
let g:arduino_run_headless = 1
"let g:arduino_board = 'arduino:avr:pro'
"let g:arduino_programmer = 'arduino:avrispmkii'
let g:arduino_board = 'arduino:avr:uno'
let g:arduino_programmer = 'arduino:usbtinyisp'
let g:arduino_serial_cmd = 'screen {port} {baud}'
let g:arduino_auto_baud = 1 " Searches script for Serial.begin() for baudrate
" let g:arduino_serial_port = '/dev/ttyUSB0'

When I try to upload *.ino file:

/home/azamat/arduino-1.6.9/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude: error while loading shared libraries: libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

How can I solve this.
Please, help!

Hey, @stevearc.
Thank you so much for your plugin - super useful!

Just wondering if it's possible to reuse the same console window when you 'Upload' a sketch without creating new windows? Please see my attached gif for better understanding.

When using tmux it creates new panes. Thou, if i m not in tmux it simply creates new console windows within vim every time i upload.

I dont know if it's worth mentioning, but i m on neovim

Thank you

Hi, I'm using the default vim package on ubuntu 20.04 (vim version 8.1.2269) and added vim-arduino using vim-plug. I have the arduino-cli in my path and am able to list the boards I have, etc. But when I do :ArduinoChooseBoard, I run into a bunch of errors:

Error detected while processing /home/----/.vim/plugged/vim-arduino/autoload/arduino/chooser.vim:
line  107:
E117: Unknown function: luaeval
Error detected while processing function arduino#ChooseBoard[6]..arduino#chooser#Choose:
line   11:
E121: Undefined variable: g:arduino_telescope_enabled

Are there any dependencies I'm missing or do I need to do something else to get this working?

Reverting the code to

let labels = s:ConvertItemsToLabels(items) call map(labels, {i, l -> \ i < 9 \ ? ' '.(i+1).') '.l \ : (i+1).') '.l

Made it work again.

When running :ArduinoUploadAndSerial screen's terminal window will open concurrently with the compile&upload terminal window but arduino cannot upload a sketch when the device is open and so prints this:

  File ".../.arduino15/packages/esp8266/hardware/esp8266/3.0.2/tools/pyserial/serial/serialposix.py", line 325, in open
