Arduino IDE made using Processing !!

in Library and Tool Development • 2 years ago

The Arduino Website says...

The microcontroller on the board is programmed using the Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino development environment (based on Processing).

Is it possible to create an IDE such as the Arduino Software.... if yes...I would like to make a lite version of an IDE for PIC MCU... how do I approach this?..P.S: I am low on S/W skills as of now

I don't intend to be snappy or anything, but then you can forget this idea. I believe I am a quite experimented software developer, and it would take me quite some time, efforts, skill/knowledge, trial and errors to do such IDE, not even sure to succeed.

@phi.Iho... Yes it would take some time...not a problem... I am pretty comfortable at firmware development for microcontoller....havent done enough of s/w coding (Desktop S/W)...just bits and pieces of java,c++ and processing...nothing substantial.... Just wanted to know.. if processing.org is rich enough to be used for developing IDE such as Arduino..I understand there must have been lots of java stuff between those processing lines... but Processing.org by itself..how powerful enough is it.....This might be a mighty amateur query ... but worth the discussion I feel

I believe when they say that the Arduino development environment was developed based on Processing, they mean that they built the Arduino IDE based on the source code for the Processing IDE. They don't mean that the Arduino IDE was developed using the Processing language.

You can find the source code for the Processing IDE here: http://code.google.com/p/processing/source/checkout

Here's the source for the Arduino IDE: http://arduino.googlecode.com/files/arduino-0022-src.tar.gz

If you're serious about developing an IDE for PIC, then your best bet will be to dig through the Arduino code. The most difficult part will probably be figuring out how to get your PIC code to compile inside your new IDE.
