Build a hex file for upload from command line

[mulderp]

Hi,

I was wondering what you think of adding some example, where a hex file would be built from the command line. This file could then be uploaded with js-stk500.

I wrote some thoughts on hex file compilation here: http://thinkingonthinking.com/an-arduino-sketch-from-scratch/

Its a nice write up. Ive resisted makefile solutions in the past because
who knows what Arduino is going to do.

I really like leo, where adam is translating builds into javascript
https://www.npmjs.com/package/leo

But Im currently using arduino 1.6's command line functionality on a remote
build server:

i have a module for pinoccio that builds the firmware using arduino on the command line pinoccio-arduino-compile (https://github.com/soldair/pinoccio-arduino-compile) and the pinoccio cli tool comes with a batch-flash command that helps flash the hex on many scouts at the same time

Thanks for the feedback. These are all nice options to explore!
I'll close this issue for now, part of the discussion is moved to AdamMagaluk/leo#29

I guess one of the difficulties is indeed that the Arduino IDE keeps changing paths of libraries. Maybe it would be a valid option to fetch the Arduino libraries into the local project.
