Antipasto Arduino IDE

The Antipasto Arduino IDE is a branch of the Arduino IDE maintained by some guys from Antipasto Hardware and Liquidware and the Arduino communities. It comes with built-in cores for the TouchShield Slide, Stealth, and Illuminato, so you don’t have to download and install them yourself (e.g. it saves about 10-15 minutes of time).

Download

The Antipasto Arduino IDE (Aardvark ) installer installs the IDE on your favorite OS.

* Arduino Windows 32-bit
* Arduino Mac OS X
* Arduino Linux

IDE Instructions

OpenGadget (.gdt) – A file format based on the processing .pde format that bundles code and data for multiple hardware modules.

FlashTransfer – Sends images to the TouchShield’s 2Meg flash disk.

The Arduino source code is maintained on github, so it’s totally cool if you’ve make an addition, just shoot me a message and I’ll try to include it!
