Arduino dev under windows?

[Fangbeast]

I've only dabbled in Arduino under windows for 2 years so never tried to do it under PB yet.

Can you code for a a Duino under PB for Windows and if so, which compiler?

Can anyone tell me what to do as I am interested.

First thing I ever got working was the ESP32CAM programmed from the Arduino and it worked a treat. Then I tried the native programmer board that came with the ESP32ROVER and it had a USB, wireless and Bluetooth interface and I'd like to be able to try that in my lifetime under pb.

No Arduino compiler available from PB
BTW: Would be awesome to have it.

Okay, thanks.

Arduino has an api, not a full blown o/s. It is usually married to a raspberryPI computer for control of the Arduino TTL and GPIO pins.

Same problem with the ESP32 I suspect. Oh well, I will stick to what I am doing then.

If you want to code like basic language, you can try B4R:

Thanks but I want to do it with PureBasic. I am fast running out of brain at my age to learn anything new outside of PB and have had lots of health issues.

I'll be lucky if I ever finish my current monster project. Monster to me:)

I also want to do it with PureBasic, but simply not possible

Arduinos are usually AtMega based microcontrollers with around 16MHz, 32Kbytes programmable memory, 1Kbyte EEPROM and 2Kbytes SRAM. There's no operating system or anything like that on them. Almost no library could be used. You'd need other functionality though like access to interrupts, timers, GPIO, ADCs etc. So even if PureBasic were possible there, you'd need to calculate frequency prescalers and so on, so everything would be different and nothing like the normal PureBasic you're used on your desktop. The only thing you'd be able to use is the syntax and lists/maps/arrays maybe.

And ESP32 is a different architecture, but still it would be more like the AtMegas or Arduinos than a desktop pc. Even python and nodejs are very limited there.

If you are willing to try the RPi Pico, there is a version of Basic for it that runs interpreted code.
It is NOT PureBasic but there is an IDE that is written (badly by me) in PureBasic.
Most users simply code using any terminal program and the inbuilt editor.

Thanks Jim but I can't afford yet another thing at the moment. Got the 'Duino' and at least 10 ESP32's in the drawer crying for attention:):):):)
