Termux Arduino IDE Tool

A command-line Arduino IDE tool that runs in Termux, allowing you to compile and upload Arduino sketches directly from your terminal.

Features

• Compile Arduino sketches from the command line
• Upload sketches to Arduino boards via USB
• Board and port selection
• Serial monitor integration
• Configuration management
• Easy package management

Installation

Prerequisites

• Termux (Android terminal emulator)
• USB OTG adapter (for board connection)
• Arduino board (compatible with avrdude)

Setup

1. Clone or create this repository
2. Run the installation script:

bash install.sh

3. Grant Termux USB permissions when prompted

Usage

Basic Commands

# Show help
arduino-ide help

# List available boards
arduino-ide boards

# List available ports
arduino-ide ports

# Compile a sketch
arduino-ide compile --board arduino:avr:uno --sketch ./sketch.ino

# Upload to board
arduino-ide upload --board arduino:avr:uno --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --sketch ./sketch.ino

# Open serial monitor
arduino-ide monitor --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 9600

# Configure settings
arduino-ide config set board arduino:avr:uno
arduino-ide config set port /dev/ttyUSB0

Examples

Compile and upload with default settings:

arduino-ide upload --sketch ~/my_project/sketch.ino

Use serial monitor:

arduino-ide monitor --baud 115200

Configuration

Settings are stored in ~/.arduino-ide/config.json

{
  "board": "arduino:avr:uno",
  "port": "/dev/ttyUSB0",
  "baud": 9600,
  "verbose": false
}

Troubleshooting

"Port not found"

• Check: ls -l /dev/tty*
• Ensure USB OTG adapter is connected
• Run: termux-usb -l to list USB devices

"Board not found"

• Verify board is installed: arduino-ide boards
• Install board package if needed

Permission Denied

• Grant permissions: termux-usb -r
• Restart Termux
