General setup

I've created this page after my new computer installation. It's could be usefull for makers who starting with Arduino.

This is my setup on Linux Fedora distribution :

• Download an extract Arduino IDE
• Run the installer

cd /home/<user>/<path to arduino folder>/
sudo ./arduino-linux-setup.sh

Optionally, you can install VisualStudio code. This is absolutely not necessary but I find it more convenient to develop.

• Install Visual Studio Code
• Install Arduino extension
• Setup Arduino extension (you could do it at workspace level so for this project only):
  • Arduino: Command Path = ''
  • Arduino: Path = /home/<user>/.arduinoXX
• Setup, programmer, board ans port :

Libraries installation

• Install password librarie

cd /home/<user>/<path to arduino folder>/libraries
curl -O https://playground.arduino.cc/uploads/Code/Password/index.zip
unzip index.zip
rm -f index.zip

• Install Neopixel Adafruit librarie

cd /home/<user>/<path to arduino folder>/libraries
curl -L https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_NeoPixel/archive/1.1.8.tar.gz | tar zx

• Install AES Encryption librarie

cd /home/<user>/<path to arduino folder>/libraries
git clone https://github.com/DavyLandman/AESLib.git

• Install Adafruit MPR121 librarie

cd /home/<user>/<path to arduino folder>/libraries
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_MPR121.git

• Install ToneAC librarie

cd /home/<user>/<path to arduino folder>/libraries
curl -L -O https://bitbucket.org/teckel12/arduino-toneac/downloads/toneAC_v1.4.zip
unzip toneAC_v1.4.zip
rm -f toneAC_v1.4.zip

Install custom keyboard files

This is an example for my french keyboard :

• Download the library

git clone [email protected]:matthgyver/Arduino-Keyboard-FR.git

• Copy the library folder to the Arduino library folder

cp -r Arduino-Keyboard-FR/KeyboardFR/  /home/<user>/<path to arduino folder>/libraries/

Upload the sketch :

• Press "F1"
• Choose "Arduino: Upload"

Don't worry about warning, it's normal.
