Linux Arduino Users

Let's Make Robots
1

Looking for others who may be developing Adruino code on Linux hosts. I am not able to configure my systems to utilize the numeric keypad arrow keys. Pgup/PgDn/HOME/END all work. Tryping the formulars for the selfbalancing robot filters without the normal keypad is a pain. Only solution so far is to configure the IDE to use an external editor. Problem is only with the editor, menu keys and serial monitor behave as expected.

I am also looking into using eclipse. Would be interested in hearing from others that have gone down that path.

I don’t understand well the issue. If it’s just controlling the bot WASD key are a good choice. If you want to grab keypad events you can try to make a native listener in C or execute a small script using “keyboard shortcuts”.

I’m going to try to program arduino with eclipse too, as i miss git support and templates. As Eclipse version, consider downloading Luna if you haven’t already, it’s slightly more stable:)
