Description from store
AVRChick is a very basic uploader application for your Arduino or AVR microcontroller. Now you can upload hex files on the go with your Google Chromebook or Chrome browser, without having to install Arduino IDEs or AVRDude. Simply plug in your USB Arduino, launch the app, select a hex file, and click upload. Currently tested on Arduino Uno, but most other boards should work.
Looking for a compiler to write your sketches? Check out my other Chrome App ChromeDuino, an IDE, USB uploader, and Terminal for Chromebook and Chrome browsers.
Features include:
- USB serial support for any system that runs the Chrome browser. Especially Chromebook, Chromebox, etc! No plug-in required.
- A "Reset" button which can reset your Arduino software
- A "Test" button which runs a small suite of commands to test connectivity
- An "Upload" button which can program your Arduino with a .hex file
Note that you must have an already compiled version of your Arduino sketch before you can upload the software! AVRChick does not feature a compiler and is not a substitute for an Arduino IDE. If you are looking for an Arduino IDE for Chromebook, check out my other Chrome app ChromeDuino -- the full IDE and compiler.
Not currently supported (but coming soon):
- Compiled sketches that contain EEPROM data stored in the Intel HEX (.hex) file
- The configuration of fuses
- Upload verification
- Flash download from the Arduino/AVR
- No verification of flash space available vs. hex file size
Caution:
While serial binary uploads are mostly harmless, take care that you upload the proper hex file for your device type. Use at your own risk.

- (2019-01-03) Tobias Lippencott: It worked... -Ish When I cliced test, both TX and RX LEDs on my arduino blinked, but stopped. Thats probably what its supposed to do, but I cannot import anything. Does NOT work.
- (2018-05-01) Robyn Torgilsson: Don't work when i upload a shetch
- (2015-11-10) steve c: Does not have a serial port monitor so you can tell if the Arduino is outputting anything or not.
- (2015-10-25) David Motes: After two days of fighting my laptop and trying multiple linux distros, java compilers, releases of arduino ide, and codebender, this is the first thing I found that would upload, just compile from the ide then upload...Awesome.
- (2015-01-04) Tony Hine (Nifty Access): I stared as OK because it seems to work on a PC. It did not upload a sketch properly; I assume this is because the Arduino I was uploading to already has a boot-loader on it. However I have no idea how these things work so take what I say with a pinch of salt. I tried using it for my chrome pixel laptop which is where I was hoping this software would work from but it did not find the USB port.
