  • Or even something like Geany with (or without) Ino. Commented Jan 21, 2015 at 17:01
  • Thanks! I was going to say the only thing worse than Arduino's IDE is Eclipse, but I think actually I think even Eclipse might be better! I strongly prefer Qt Creator - I use that for mBed. I may have to finally set up Arduino in it. The problem is many details of Arduino's build system are hidden in Arduino.exe so it is a pain to set up any other IDE. Didn't know Eclipse had an Arduino plugin though. Commented Jan 22, 2015 at 10:09
  • There is also the free Atmel Studio Ide. It supports professional programming features like multiple source files, SVN and the AVR dragon debugger. Commented Jan 22, 2015 at 18:39
  • This is something that is getting fixed. Try the IDE linked here github.com/arduino/Arduino/pull/2729. The sketch will compile just fine. Commented Mar 9, 2015 at 7:20
  • Or you could just use a plain Makefile. There are a couple of generic Arduino Makefiles floating around, that do almost all the IDE does, except messing with your source. Commented Mar 9, 2015 at 8:43
