support for stock arduino boards (untested, only nano and uno tested so far) No longer do you need to find a PC to use your Arduino for free. If you don't have servers to spare, but still want to support the project, you can also buy the developers a coffee.Ĭreate Arduino-compatible sketches on your Chromebook.įinally you can develop Arduino applications directly on your Chromebook! 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. (You can also add some shameless self promotion in the description) If you have a spare development VPS or something lying around, why not help the community and run a public compile server on it.

We are always welcome to developers to help build out the features of this app. If you have any issues, please post an issue on the GitHub where we will actually receive a notification and act on it. This app is on some-what life support at the moment due to the time-poorness of the developers. Version 3 has been released! Check it out at I don’t really know the specifics, but I do know it uses ChromeOS drivers to let Ubuntu run over it rather than a traditional dual-boot.Create Arduino-compatible sketches on your Chromebook Update of original app created by Casey Halverson, modified by Fraser Bullock to include serial monitor + user specified IP for compile server. I like this idea though, so if OP wants to try the running-Windows-inside-full-Linux-over-ChromeOS method, there’s this cool program called Crouton I’ve heard of from people using Chromeboxes as a cheaper alternative to a full desktop. Then again, if the only thing he’s running is LabVIEW then he should be fine as long as he’s not trying to use it as a drive station or install or run anything else overtaxing. I’m also not sure how well a low-power CPU and 4GB RAM would hold up running Ubuntu on top of ChromeOS (which is the method I’m familiar with) and then running a VM with Windows, then running the heavy NI software. If OP has a 16GB flash drive lying around, he should be good with storage. I’m not sure if he’d have enough disk space for Ubuntu, a Windows disk image, and NI software on a 16 gig SSD.

I don’t know the specifics of how to install a Linux OS on a Chromebook, but I’m sure there are plenty of guides on the Internet. I’ve seen teams with Macs run a virtual windows OS to use the driver station and LabVIEW, and though it takes a bit of tinkering it does work very well. You actually can install a full Linux OS on the Chromebook and from there you could try running a Virtual Windows system in VirtualBox.
