Description from store
Finally you can develop Arduino applications directly on your Chromebook or in your Chrome browser! Chromeduino features an IDE environment to edit your Arduino sketch, AVRChick to upload your sketches to your Arduino, and a new serial terminal mode that lets you interact with your Arduino. No longer do you need to find a Mac or Windows PC to use your Arduino.
Features:
- Full featured IDE text editor
- Load and Save sketches right off your computer
- Interactive terminal mode
- Uploads sketches directly over USB to your Arduino
- No special accounts, access, service fees, etc.
- Works great on Chromebook, chromebox, or any computer with a chrome browser!
Coming soon in next release:
- Library support
- Multi-tab support for includes
- Selectable serial rate and character entry modes
- Examples library
- Better control character support in terminal mode
- Better sketch error reporting
Note: Although Chromeduino was written as an offline application, it does interact with a cloud web service to compile your sketch to a hex file. This service is completely free and transparent, but you must have internet connectivity to compile your sketches. This will change soon once AVR-GCC is ported to JavaScript. If you need an offline method of programming hex files to an Arduino, check out my other application "AVRChick".
(Developed on a Chromebook for ChromeOS using PureSolid)
Latest reviews
- (2019-03-24) Tobias Lippencott: I cannot get this stupid thing to work. It cannot upload, it cannot save, and when I want to run it, IT DOES NOTHING! Garbage.
- (2018-05-24) Wim Letzer: compiler server not responding.
- (2018-05-01) Robyn Torgilsson: Don't works
- (2018-03-30) Muriel Green: It hangs up on the compile step. Another reviewer advised that I could fix this issue with ChromeDuino2, but searches for that product have turned up nothing. If someone can provide a link to ChromeDuino2 I am eager to try it!
- (2018-02-09) bob builder: Chromeduino2 is now available, which is what you need to solve compile issues...
- (2018-01-13) Lerie Taylor: Never connects to "compile server"
- (2017-12-31) Gabe Wert: not supported anymore
- (2017-12-27) Noisebridge CHM1: Unfortunatly this is abandonware. It hangs at "Uploading to compiler server" because the compiler server is no more.
- (2017-12-15) Jackson Huether: The program keeps saying that it is sending to a compiler server.
- (2017-12-06) Christopher Sherman: As another reviewer said, it is no longer supported. Maybe in 2014, but it wont connect to the compiler server anymore. Honestly not entirely sure why it needs to connect to a server, but I'm new to all this coding. RIP useful application
- (2017-10-07) Unfortunately Chrome Duino seems to point to a dead compile server. So the upload to any arduino is actually impossible. Haven't find any settings where the server address can be changed. Searching for another tool.
- (2017-09-19) The compiler server appears to be dead, so the app is useless. (Like release an update that makes the app server independent or something, this is just lazy...)
- (2017-06-30) Yuriy Duyko: does not work on the Samsung Chrombook
- (2017-05-16) Виталий Кукарцев: OK
- (2017-05-05) Pere Viader: Works well with original boards, good option for chromebooks
- (2017-05-04) Green Bling: Doesnt work, can we get it removed from the webstore?
- (2017-04-26) Carl Csanits: Nothing seems to work. Tried connecting Arduino Uno - serial port was recognized. Hit program and nothing just hung. I was hoping to use this in my technology classes as all students are now using chromebooks.
- (2017-04-04) Ezequiel Badillo: Sucked on my chrome book arduino uno demo didin't work
- (2017-03-24) Just hangs. Not being supported.
- (2017-03-10) Andrew Robinson: No worky worky
- (2017-03-08) Kevin Custis: Does not work...not being maintained. It is a shame as this is a much needed tool.
- (2017-02-26) Matt Sahn: wish it would work. Tries to connect to compiler server and hangs there.
- (2017-02-23) William Moore: Seems the web-server they used to compile the Arduino C code has not worked since around (maybe) September 2015. With CodeBender folded it seems there is no Arduino solution for Chromebook users... a pain since our school uses them instead of Macs or WinPCs.
- (2017-02-11) Eric Aguayo: Is this still being maintained? it seems its trying to connect to a compiler server but not sure if it stills up. Is there a way to setup a compiler server locally?
- (2017-02-05) Scott MacKinnon: Stuck at processing results, on all my arduinos, mini, ethernet and uno
- (2017-02-04) Galen Rosenberg: Libraries and Check buttons greyed out, when you click the Program button it hangs at "Processing Results". This problem has been reported since 2015 - where is the developer?
- (2017-01-27) zero functionality: 1, Tried with Samsung Chromebook 3 XE500C13-K02US 4 GB RAM 16GB and nothing worked. Neither in Demo mode or trying to connect to Uno or Esplora board. Bummer as I was trying to create a programming class for my son's school and all they have is chromebooks.
- (2016-12-27) Matthew Goodman: It took a very long time to complile :(
- (2016-12-17) Tony Kauffmann: froze when processing results to load the very first blink sketch.
- (2016-12-12) Steve Williams: I cannot get the app to load code onto my Arduino Uno. Every time that I try, it gets stuck om "processing results." This has happened both on my Lenovo Yoga 11e and the Dell chromebooks that the school offers students to use. Utterly useless.
- (2016-11-16) Jonathan Kryza: As soon as I select my board, my entire Chromebook freezes until I disconnect the USB cable. Chrome v54 Lenovo 100S
- (2016-11-13) John Blount: Just dosnt work beyond the processing stage. why rush these apps out without testing.
- (2016-11-12) Nathan Richards: Didn't work. Like many reviews below it was stuck in the processing stage.
- (2016-11-06) Larry Smart: Please add Library Support. Until then, it's too limited to make it worthwhile.
- (2016-08-11) Gustav Ferdman: Simple, fast and reliable. Having some issues on Chromebook while opening a saved sketch though.
- (2016-08-01) Flavien B: Would be great if it worked :( (On Asus Chromebook C300)
- (2016-06-23) Urzad Spy: super!
- (2016-04-08) Bradley Fell: Gets stuck at processing results. This is the third different glitch that has arose. Way to many problems to give a good rating. Most of the time the app does not work.
- (2016-03-28) Kennard none of your buisness: Does not work.
- (2016-03-17) Dan W (Nyctiprogne): Worked orginally, now wont connect to arduino, and for apparently no reason, have completely reset both the board and computer several times, good app when it works though.
- (2016-02-04) Joe Ruth: It works well for most of my arduino pro minis. It would be nice if it had library support.
- (2016-01-21) david moloney: Works well with Teensy 3.1 on PC and ASUS Chromebook 13 and as a bonus terminal works with other devices like the pyboard running micropython from george robotics
- (2015-12-24) Al Wirtes: Works great on an Acer C720!
- (2015-12-21) Shahin Moghimi: Not compatible with my Duemilanov board. The default blink example doesn't seem to correctly flash onto the board and the LED certainly does not blink! Although I appreciate the effort in creating this app so far, at least addition of an extra menu to choose between popular boards (i.e. Uno, Duemilanov, Mega) is essential for this app to become practical and gain popularity. Arduino+Chromebook is surely the way to go..
- (2015-11-10) steve c: Worthless, has no settings or features and does not work with Nano Duino having a CH340 USB interface chip. Full size Arduino Uno R3 looks like it's going to work OK but won't even run sketches already uploaded to it!
- (2015-10-18) Michael: Just wanted to say "thank you" to the developer. I found this program useful when troubleshooting AVR issues using the Arduino IDE. Once ChromeDuino supports Libraries, I will definitely start prototyping with it daily. Thanks again!
- (2015-10-10) Scott Fuhrman: Would have been nice but as Chris mentioned the compile server doesn't seem to be around anymore, so this is now useless as code can't be compiled and then uploaded to arduino.
- (2015-10-09) Chris Austin: I don't think the server works anymore, stuck on uploading to compiling server. Very disappointing.
- (2015-09-22) Keegan Galea: Unfortunately cannot upload sketch to arduino at all. Using: Acer Chromebook 11, Arduino Uno R3
- (2015-09-07) Dirk K: It works with my Chromebox and Arduino Uno R3. It's a clean design, but there are some noticeable bugs. This was a good start, and I appreciate the effort. However, there are some other web based Arduino IDE options that are already further along. Codebender (available in the Chrome store) is one such option. It allows you to write, debug, and upload code to your Arduino. The Arduino group is also supposed to come out with their own online IDE in the later part of 2015.
