How to enable in Atom C++ syntax linter for .ino file? (arduino-upload)

Try one of these two, for example (depends on the compiler you use):

• linter-gcc
• linter-clang

Personally, I use Visual Studio Code instead.
And bfx did a great tutorial on the subject!

I have enabled linter-gcc2  and it works for .cpp files only

Is there no way to configure the type of files it's supposed to examine?

Otherwise, for Atom, I found something that might interest you: the platform.io plugin that works with the framework of the same name (PlatformIO), which replaces the Arduino IDE. I checked, the SAMD21G18A card is supported (it is the same card as the Gamebuino META).

Take a look at this post, you'll probably find what you need.

I haven't tried this solution, but maybe you can explore it and give us a feedback!

Hey there! Soru actually wrote arduino-upload ^^ Anyhow, it is meant to be used in combination with language-arduino

I have tried Platform.io plugin on in Atom but I haven't manage to make it work.Gamebuino Library is available in it to download but there is no Gamebuino Platform or Board.I have searched samd21g18a and I got these options
1)SparkFun SAMD21 Mini Breakout
2)Atmel SAMD21-XPRO
3)SparkFun SAMD21 Dev Breakout

but they only produce project folders with .cpp file not .ino with Arduino.h library included.But it shows this error right away

arm-none-eabi-g++: error: SAMD21": No such file or directory

About the linter for .ino files I have found in Platform that Smart Code Linter is disabled by default for Arduino files (*.ino and .pde) because they are not valid C/C++ based source files there is a procedure to do in order to get it working here:
https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/ide/atom.html?highlight=.INO#smart-code-linter

I have installed VSCodium(VSCode) and Arduino plugin code linting works but when I verify a project I am getting this error:

/home/user/Arduino/libraries/Gamebuino_META/src/Gamebuino-Meta.cpp: In member function 'void Gamebuino_Meta::Gamebuino::begin()':

I opened Gamebuino-Meta.cpp and commented the lines about the folder name but another error shows now.Can you help me to get working  VSCodium?

Thank you for your feedback!

Actually, you shouldn't change the official lib ;-)

The error is clearly indicated:

Your sketch name is less than 4 chars long, please define FOLDER_NAME!

You can create a config-gamebuino.h file at the root of your project with this line:

#define FOLDER_NAME "your_sketch_name"

Now, to properly set up Visual Studio Code, I encourage you to read the bfx tutorial carefully.

Thank you for you help, I turned out to be a problem having multiple plugins enabled after I removed them it got fixed. I made clean install of VSCodium and Arduino and C/C++ plugin.This is my cpp properties json file

}

Autocomplete works , g++ checks for errors but it shows this error now

cannot open source file "sam.h" (dependency of "/home/user/.arduino15/packages/gamebuino/hardware/samd/1.2.1/cores/arduino/Arduino.h")

Try the following command.... you should normally get the same result:

$ find ~/.arduino15 -iname 'sam.h'
/home/user/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/CMSIS-Atmel/1.1.0/CMSIS/Device/ATMEL/sam.h

Otherwise, you must check the installation of SAMD cards as explained in the user manual:

I have 2 outputs
/home/user/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/CMSIS/4.0.0-atmel/Device/ATMEL/sam.h
/home/user/.arduino15/packages/arduino/tools/CMSIS-Atmel/1.1.0/CMSIS/Device/ATMEL/sam.h

I installed it correctly as the manual shows

Its working now :) . I did gave permissions to the serial port and I can upload to Gamebuino directly. I need to press upload 2 times in order to make Gamebuino to "usb mode" when it has the USB logo on screen the first time and then to upload it.This the output when I am verifying the Hello World Example  I have some warnings but it works

Sketch uses 53812 bytes (21%) of program storage space. Maximum is 245760 bytes.

 Thank you very much!!!

It's weird... Can you tell me the exact path of your serial port on Linux, please?

/dev/tty/ACM0

Okay, so you did this, I guess:

sudo usermod -a -G dialout <username>

But... I wonder if there is not a better port? Like /dev/ttyUSB0.

On macOS we have an optimized port, like: /dev/cu.usbmodem141101.
The number may be different depending on the port to which META is connected.

On Visual Studio Code, you can check the available serial ports using the Command Palette [Shift][Ctrl][P]:

Yes that command.I restarted my pc and started it again and it worked for the first time .On the second time I  tried to upload it an error pops up from Ubuntu and then I need to Upload it again  in order to show up on the device.I pressed report problem but it didn't show any report after that also Arduino/VSCodium showed this error  .

An error occurred while uploading the sketch
No device found on ttyACM0

The Ubuntu error is related to the issue
