 ====== Configuring Netbeans for Arduino Development ======
-My current favorite tool for developing non-trivial Arduino projects is Netbeans with C++ support. I use [[https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile|Arduino-Makefile]] to do the actual building and NB for coding support.
+My current favorite tool for developing non-trivial Arduino projects is Netbeans with C++ support. This documents my setup. It has been vetted with NetBeans 8.2.
 ===== The tool collection =====
+NetBeans will be happiest if you let it know where the build tools for your project live. Set up a new tool collection for Arduino along the lines of the figure below:
+{{:arduino:arduino-avr-tool-collection.png?direct&300|}}
-I won't cover using Arduino-Makefile here as that's its own thing. Assuming you have Arduino-Makefile working, on the command line, the next thing you'll want to do is set up a new tool collection in Netbeans for Arduino along the lines of the figure below:
+If you are using an Arduino that uses something other than an AVR microcontroller, the paths will need to be adjusted.

+===== The Makefile and config =====
+I use either [[https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile|Arduino-Makefile]] or my own [[https://github.com/mithat/arduino-build | Arduino-Build]] to do the actual building. I won't cover using either of those in any depth here as they are each their own thing. However, you can use the following as a cheatsheet for setting things up.
-===== The Makefile =====
+==== Arduino-Makefile ====
-When creating a new project, use a Makefile that looks something like the following:
+When creating a new project with Arduino-Makefile, your local project Makefile should look something like the following:
-<code make>
+<file make Makefile>
 # Project config
 ARDUINO_LIBS = SoftwareWire AsyncTimer
@@ Line 31: / Line 34: @@
 # Include parent Makefile from <https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile>
 include $(HOME)/Build/Arduino-Makefile/Arduino.mk
+</file>
-</code>
+==== Arduino-Build ====
-===== Code completion =====
+If you're using Arduino-Build, then your project's Makefile should resemble the following:
+<file make Makefile>
+# Point BB at the arduino-build script
+BB=<your-path-to>/arduino-build
+# You shouldn't have to change any of these.
+.PHONY : compile clean upload monitor upmon
+build:
+	$(BB) build
+clean:
+	$(BB) clean
+upload:
+	$(BB) upload
+monitor:
+	$(BB) monitor
+upmon: upload monitor
+</file>
+You will also need an ''arduino.conf'' file in the root of your project that looks like:
+<file bash arduino.conf>
+# === Arduino path ===
+ARDUINO_PATH=/home/mithat/opt/arduino
+# === Board parameters ===
+BOARD_PACKAGE=arduino
+BOARD_ARCHITECTURE=avr
+BOARD=nano
+BOARD_PARAM="cpu=atmega328old"
+# === Communication settings ===
+PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0
+SPEED=9600
+</file>
+See the Arduino-Build readme for information on figuring out the board parameters and other fiddly bits.
+===== Code completion =====
-While your setup should be working now, NB will be shouting at you a lot about things not being defined, etc. That's because you need to add [[arduino:code_completion|code completion directories]] to the tool collection. Do this on the //Code Completion > C++// tab of the tool collection dialog.
