Installing Processing & Arduino UNO Software on Wheezy

[syed.abidi]

Dear All,

I am quite new to raspberry Pi and I am facing problems in installing Processing and Arduino Software on the Wheezy Linux. After unzipping when I try to run the above mentioned software's execution files I get the following error:

/root/Desktop/arduino-0023/java/bin/java: 1: /root/Desktop/arduino-0023/java/bin/java: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

Please guide me if there is some additional step I need to perform before I can proceed with the installation to avoid the above error.

Please reply asap and let me know if you need more info about my issue!

Thanks!

Khizar

Does wheezy run java then? I didn't think it did but I may be totally wrong

[penguintutor]

I have installed the install Arduino, which is now available through the normal repositories

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install arduino

(the update is not always needed if run previously, but may improve the chance of this succeeding).

This will install the icedtea Java vm as well as all the other per-requisites for the avr compiler.

I haven't tried Processing - I recall it being fussy about the JavaVM in the past, so that may need the SUN VM.

Dear fellows,

I tried to install the headless as well as headful version of the Java Embedded SE but both have not solved my problem. I followed following links to solve my issue but in vain!

http://forum.processing.org/topic/proce ... spberry-pi
http://www.savagehomeautomation.com/pro ... endly=true

Please refer to the end of this post for more info about the errors I got.
I will try to connect my raspberry pi to my home internet because my office internet is not allowing me to connect to some sites for direct updates installation.

Any suggestions will be highly welcomed.

WHEN I PASTE BACK THE JAVA FOLDER IN THE ARDUINO FOLDER I GET THE PREVIOUS ERROR AS POSTED IN MY 1ST POST

[syed.abidi]

Dear All,

I have managed to install Arduino & processing on Raspberry Pi. I will soon post the correct procedures for the installation!

Thanks for your inputs!

[scruss]

This is how I got it to work: Running Processing on Raspberry Pi.

Also, you don't need to delete any subfolders of the Arduino software installation. It should just work.

Please note that both of these are painfully slow. Arduino is usable (just), but Processing is so slow that it's easy to think that it's not working.

[fdion]

These simple instructions (basically apt-get update and apt-get install) have worked for months now, no need to do complicated stuff:
http://raspberry-python.blogspot.com/20 ... duino.html
In french, but just scroll down past several pictures, to section "L'installation", or use google translate on the right and read the whole thing.

Also, in order to make this more usable, it is possible to run arduino IDE on the Pi but display on a PC, using my sidekick technique here: http://raspberry-python.blogspot.com/20 ... ekick.html (in english this one)

Help --

I am new to linux and have had trouble getting the arduino ide to run on my pi. I am using wheezy which I just installed a few days ago, have repartitoned my 8 meg sd and still can't make headway.
Per edition 6 of magpi, i used the sudo apt-get install arduino insyructions and was able to download and expand the files. When i try to run the ide, I get an error message: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exceptioninitializererror at processing.app.Base.main(Base.java:113) Caused by java.awt.HeadlessException.

I read through other posts and found other people with this problem, but never did find an answer on how to fix it.

Would appreciate any suggestions

Thanks

Fred

Are you running it from an X session? You should be able to call it up from the LXDE menu.

Updated installation instructions: Processing 2.1 + Oracle Java + Raspberry Pi + Serial + Arduino = ☺
