Nice, I'd definitely like the serial monitor changes merged. |
Nice. I'd love to see more board in the environment. Especially the freakduino that we are currently using for the www.safecast.org project. |
any ideas why this serial-monitor-feature is not in the official release? |
Good question. I submitted patch here but have no idea what is the official procedure by Arduino to include such "community" patches. |
Can one of the admins verify this patch? |
We can't add non arduino boards to the official arduino boards list. However, with 1.6.4, you can list additional boards into boards manager. See http://blog.arduino.cc/2015/05/07/arduino-ide-1-6-4-released/ |
I added three more popular Arduino compatible boards to the boards.txt. Existing boards (with different names) can be actually used for Nanode and FREAKDUINO-CHIBI but Freaduino ADK needs a new entry. I do not know what is the policy for adding new clones and you are free to reject these commits if needed.
Another change I made which is much more useful at least for me is the serial monitor behavior change. It is very inconvenient that after every code upload serial console will be closed which means that a) you loose all existing text in this window and b) you have to reopen serial monitor every time. I added pause/unpause for that where during upload serial port will be closed and all field at serial monitor window disabled. After that serial port will be reopened and all fields enabled again.
