farmbot-arduino-controller

This software is responsible for receiving G-Codes from the Raspberry Pi, executing them, and reporting back the results.

Technicals

Created with eclipseArduino V2 - For more details see http://www.baeyens.it/eclipse/

Command line flash tool use

NOTE: We tag releases when they are stable. The latest version (on master) is not guaranteed to be stable.

See releases to find a stable release.

OPTION A: For less stable "edge" version:

git clone  https://github.com/FarmBot/farmbot-arduino-firmware

OPTION B: For stable release 1.0:

git clone -b 'alpha-1.0' --single-branch  https://github.com/FarmBot/farmbot-arduino-firmware

To flash the firmware onto the device, run this:

cd farmbot-arduino-firmware
ino build
ino upload
