I really hate the Arduino IDE

makeArduinoISP.sh

#!/bin/bash

port = "/dev/ttyACM0"
board = "uno"
sketch = "/usr/share/arduino/examples/ArduinoISP/ArduinoISP.ino"

# We need a sketch
if [ ! -f "${sketch}" ]; then
    echo "ERROR: Could not find the Arduino ISP sketch (${sketch})" >&2
    exit 1
fi

while getopts ":p:b:" opt; do
    case ${opt} in
    p) port = ${OPTARG} ;;
    b) board = ${OPTARG} ;;
    \?) echo "What?" >&2 ;;
    esac
done

# Add the full parameters to the board argument
case ${board} in
uno|pro) board=arduino:avr:${board} ;;
esac

# Verify that the prot exists
if [ ! -f "${port}" ]; then
    echo "ERROR: Port ${port} is not open. Please plug in Arduino or select a different port" >&2
    exit 2
fi

# Do the thing
arduino --upload --port ${port} --board ${board} ${sketch}
