Title: Arduino and First Sketch
Post by: kb1ojr on December 09, 2015, 05:31:41 PM

Hello all, I am having a problem with getting my first sketch to work with my PI and Arduino.
Here is my setup.

RaspberryPI 2
Raspbian "Jessie" OS (fresh install)
Homegenie installed (fresh install)

Once installed Homegenie according to documentation I did a apt-get install arduino, which also installed the arduino-core

From the home genie webpage I added a program according to documentation and called it Arduino sketch,
I copied and pasted code into the complier, and successfully complied the sketch to blink the light on the arduino. When I go to run I get the following error.



CR: ApplicationName='empty', CommandLine='-f -L uploadres.txt make upload', CurrentDirectory='/usr/local/bin/homegenie/programs/arduino/1000', Native error= Cannot find the specified file   Runtime

what is the content of the /usr/local/bin/homegenie/programs/arduino/1000 folder?
Try building/uploading from terminal:

- cd /usr/local/bin/homegenie/programs/arduino/1000
- make upload

perhaps you will need to change the folder permissions before doing this.

oh... perhaps got what the issue is.
Please install the package empty:

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install empty-expect

Cheers,

Well installing that package worked, however it says successful upload, but there looks to be some errors, such as not in sync. What is the file I can tail -f to view the logs during this upload?

I found that the problem was the "makefile" was pointing to ttyAMA0 when my Andruino was on ttyACM0, once I changed that I was able to successfully upload and make the light blink, but it only works for a second then I get a sync error again.

I spoke too soon, I had commented out the board type. All works now thanks.
