More than an Arduino

Here it is a sneak peek to the prototype / idea for the custom IDE of Bittino.

What do you think? Should I invest time into this or trash it?

The Bittino IDE will have the following features:

- Compiler based on the open source GCC toolchain (like the Arduino IDE)

- Integrated custom debugger (via UART?)

- WebBased interface made in HTML / Javascript (like VSCode) for universal cross compatibility

- COMPLETELY OPEN SOURCED

- Easy and visually configurable Bittino PINs functionalities

- [Craig’s feature] Directly control Bittino interfaces (like GPIO, UART, SPI, I2C, ADC, DAC)

I really like the look of it mate.

I think Arduino IDE integration will always be a winner with boards (familiarity, and maintaining one ide for many boards etc), but an nice, quick and easy to use interface is great.

Does the graphic of the bittino let you interact with it?

Thanks you again Craig!

I want to make Bittino compatible with the Arduino IDE for exactly what you mentioned (familiarity and cross IDE).

I wanted to make this custom IDE to be able to easily configure the custom PINs layout, have a lightweight editor (not like MCUExpresso with Eclipse :D) and easily support future specific board features.

The feature to directly control Bittino sounds veeery appealing to me!

I’ll include in it for sure!

Ah man, that's awesome! If you need any software testing let me know; I'd love to give it a go!
