Raspberry PI as Arduino network programmer

This guide will show you how to program an Arduino connected to your Raspberry PI from the Arduino IDE on your local computer. Linux and OS X for now

###On your Raspberry PI

First install avrdude

apt-get install avrdude

Install avrdude-rpi using the installation tips from https://github.com/deanmao/avrdude-rpi they boil down to this:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deanmao/avrdude-rpi/master/autoreset
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/deanmao/avrdude-rpi/master/avrdude-autoreset
sudo cp autoreset /usr/bin
sudo cp avrdude-autoreset /usr/bin
sudo mv /usr/bin/avrdude /usr/bin/avrdude-original
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/avrdude-autoreset /usr/bin/avrdude

Next open the file /usr/bin/autoreset and change the reset pin to the pin you connected the Arduino reset to. The GPIO pin number corresponds to the number of the pin of the header.

vim /usr/bin/autoreset

###On your computer

Download and install Arduino IDE go to the folder containing avrdude On OS X this most likely is /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin

cd /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin
mv avrdude avrdude-original
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/erikkallen/11153072/raw/3e1cdfdef6aee12b9f0f47b50bc33849612f2a0d/avrdude
chmod +x avrdude
