Installation

$ npm install awot-scripts

Scripts

awot-static

Creates gzip compressed payload files for aWOT web server.

Add config to the root level of package.json and awot-static script to the scripts.

Example config

{
  "awot-static": {
   "sources": "./build",
    "indexFile": "index.html",
    "sketchDir": "./ArduinoProject",
    "sdCard": false,
    "exclude": [
      "*.map",
      "service-worker.js"
    ]
  },
  "scripts": {
    "awot-static": "awot-static"
  }
}

Execute the script by running npm run awot-static.

This will generate a static gzipped payload file StaticFiles.h to the sketchDir directory. Include the file with #include "StaticFiles.h" and to mount the http handlers call app.use(staticFiles());. If you set the option sdCard to true the output will be a file called static.bin. Copy this file to a SD card and serve the files using the CardFiles example.

awot-create

Creates a boilerplate Arduino project for the aWOT web server library.

Execute the script by running npx awot-create ProjectName Wifi|Ethernet. Defaults to Wifi.

awot-commmand-line

Control Arduino IDE command line interface using config defined in package.json file.

Add config to the root level of package.json and awot-command-line script to the scripts.

Example config

{
 "awot-command-line": {
    "sketch": "SketchName/SketchName.ino",
    "idePath": "/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/MacOS/arduino",
    "port": "/dev/cu.Repleo-PL2303-00002014",
    "board": {
      "package": "esp32",
      "arch": "esp32",
      "board": "esp32"
    },
    "action": "upload"
  },
  "scripts": {
    "awot-command-line": "awot-command-line"
  }
}

Execute the script by running npm run awot-command-line.

The options can also be extended:

{
  "awot-command-line": {
    "sketch": "DuinoDCX/DuinoDCX.ino",
    "idePath": "/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/MacOS/arduino",
    "port": "/dev/cu.Repleo-PL2303-00002014",
    "board": {
      "package": "esp32",
      "arch": "esp32",
      "board": "esp32"
    },
    "extensions": {
      "upload": {
        "action": "upload"
      },
      "verify": {
        "action": "verify"
      }
    }
  },
  "scripts": {
     "upload": "awot-command-line upload",
     "verify": "awot-command-line verify"
  }
}

Execute the scripts by running npm run upload and npm run verify.

Options

Options are defined in the package.json file under the awot-command-line key.

idePath

Type: String Default value: '/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/MacOS/arduino'

Path to Arduino IDE executable file.

sketch

Type: String

Path to the sketch file.

action

Type: String

Defines the performed action.

Available actions

verify

Builds the sketch.

upload

Builds and uploads the sketch.

getPref

Prints the value of the given preference to the standard output stream. When the value does not exist, nothing is printed and the exit status is set (see EXIT STATUS below). If no preference is given as parameter, it prints all preferences. Used with board parameter

installBoards

Fetches available board support (platform) list and install the specified one, along with its related tools. If version is omitted, the latest is installed. If a platform with the same version is already installed, nothing is installed and program exits with exit code 1. If a platform with a different version is already installed, it’s replaced. Used with board parameter

installLibrary

Fetches available libraries list and install the specified one. If version is omitted, the latest is installed. If a library with the same version is already installed, nothing is installed and program exits with exit code 1. If a library with a different version is already installed, it’s replaced. Used with libraries parameter.

libraries

Type: [{name: String, version: String}] An array of libraries to install. Parameter version is optional.

board.package

Type: String

Package is the identifier of the vendor (the first level folders inside the hardware directory). Default arduino boards use arduino.

board.arch

Type: String

Architecture is the architecture of the board (second level folders inside the hardware directory). Default arduino boards use either avr for all AVR-based boards (like Uno, Mega or Leonardo) or ´sam´ for 32bit SAM-based boards (like Arduino Due).

board.board

Type: String

Board is the actual board to use, as defined in boards.txt contained in the architecture folder selected. For example, uno for the Arduino Uno, diecimila for the Arduino Duemilanove or Diecimila, or ´mega´ for the Arduino Mega.

preference

Type: String

Used with ´getPref´ action;

parameters

Type: String Parameters is a comma-separated list of boards specific parameters that are normally shown under submenus of the "Tools" menu. For example 'cpu=atmega168' to Select the mega168 variant of the Arduino Nano board.

verboseBuild

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Enable verbose mode during build. If this option is not given, verbose mode during build is disabled regardless of the current preferences.

verboseUpload

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Enable verbose mode during upload. If this option is not given, verbose mode during upload is disabled regardless of the current preferences.

This option is only valid together with actions 'verify' or 'upload'.

verbose

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Enable verbose mode during build and upload. This option has the same effect of using both verboseBuild and --verboseUpload.

preserveTempFiles

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Keep temporary files (preprocessed sketch, object files…) after termination. If omitted, temporary files are deleted.

This option is only valid together with actions verify´ or upload`.

preferencesFile

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Read and store preferences from the specified filename instead of the default one.

savePrefs

Type: Boolean Default value: false

Save any (changed) preferences to preferences.txt. In particular --board, --port, --pref, --verbose, --verbose-build and --verbose-upload may alter the current preferences.
