Notes on stuff.

---

next steps to implement.

• add a file browser using the existing sketches directory. click a sketch to open it. be able to save/compile/run

• support leonardo style updates with 1200baud serial port trick.

• Add metadata for the standard Arduino libs like Serial, EEPROM, Servo, and Stepper. Build lib import interface.

Sketch: what is a sketch?

• A sketch is a directory in the user's Arduino sketches folder.
• A sketch contains one or more source code files, with the extensions .ino, .cpp, .c, or .h
• A sketch may use zero or more libraries
• A sketch may be platform specific (AVR, ARM) or it may work on anything

Roadmap:

cool features we need:

• code completion for libs included in your sketch. requires parsing C++ header files. ick
• built in firmata client. upload firmata on your board then interact with it dynamically through the page.
• built in charting client for analyizing sensor data
• built in docs for libs and arduino commands
• a better serial port that can open and close automatically when you update sketches.
• ability to share snippets as gists, tweets, etc.
• magically import libraries and their example code
• make example code searchable
