uploadSketch

public static boolean uploadSketch(String port,
                                   String boardKey)
                            throws IOException,
                                   InterruptedException

Upload the MrlComm.ino with an arduino ide (version 1.6.8) installed in the default windows location of C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\

Parameters:

port - - the com port for the arduino

boardKey - - the board type mega/uno

Returns:

true if the upload was successful, otherwise false.

Throws:

IOException - - if there is an error talking to the com port

InterruptedException - - if interrupted by a thread

uploadSketch

public static boolean uploadSketch(String port,
                                   String boardKey,
                                   String arduinoPath)
                            throws IOException,
                                   InterruptedException

Upload the MrlComm.ino sketch to the using an arduino IDE (only version 1.6.8 has been tested for this method.)

Parameters:

port - the com port (COM4, /dev/ttyAMA0 ...)

boardKey - - the board type mega / uno

arduinoPath - - path to the arduino ide installation

Returns:

true if successful, false otherwise

Throws:

IOException - - if there's a problem reading the source ino sketch or talking to the com port

InterruptedException - - if interrupted.
