Arduino commands through C++ in Linux

[aakarm89]

Hi,

I am working on a project with the UDOO board. The board has Ubuntu loaded on it as the main OS. It also has a Arduino DUE attached with it.

I wanted to confirm if we can use the Arduino commands in the C++ language if I have, "#include Arduino.h" in the code?? This is what I mean by using Arduino commands

/* Program to read data from the encoders.
This file is to read data and calculate velocity. encoder.cpp
*/

#include <iostream.h>
#include <Arduino.h>

void setup(){
        pinMode(encoder0PinA, INPUT); 
    digitalWrite(encoder0PinA, HIGH);       // turn on pullup resistor
    pinMode(encoder0PinB, INPUT); 
}

void main(){
if (digitalRead(encoder0PinA) == digitalRead(encoder0PinB)) {
      encoder0Pos++;
    } else {
      encoder0Pos--;
    }

    Serial.println (encoder0Pos, DEC);
}

// End of Program 

Can I run a C++ code using the arduino header file on the GNU compiler of Linux?

I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do, but let me try to offer some clarification:

• I don't think you can run "arduino code" (e.g. code that uses the Arduino core and libraries) on top of Linux, you can only run it on Arduino boards. This means that you could run your code on the Arduino Due part of the board, but not the Linux part or the board
• This issue tracker is really meant for bugs and feature requests relating to the Arduino core code and IDE. Your question is more of a support question that is probably better asked on the forums.
• I think this Udoo board is not built or supported by the Arduino organisation, so you might be better off trying to get support through Udoo's channels (not sure what they are, though). They'll know their hardware better and should know what is and isn't supported.
