    Is Arduino version 0023 still the prefered software or is the latest 1.04 suitable for programming?

    Can we also safely use Windows instead of Linux or is the code size issue still a limiting factor?

    Thanks,
    Ingo

    If you mean the OpenSprinkler 1.x generation hardware, yes, Arduino 0023 in Linux is still the preferred software. The firmware for the upcoming 2.0 will compile in Arduino 1.04.

    I just wrote a blog post this morning about a VirtualBox image for compiling the current OpenSprinkler source code. Basically I’ve created a virtual Linux image file with all the necessary software and tools pre-installed, so you can use it with VirtualBox for compiling the source code. The blog post is here:

    That’s great, thanks. How about creating one for VMWare so users can run it inside VMPlayer?

    Sorry, I don’t have any spare time to do that. If someone is willing to do this, I am happy to host and share the file.

    I converted the VirtualBox image to VMWare using the following URL and it seems to be working perfectly.

    Cool, that’s a neat discovery. I will add this to the blog post.
