arduino-cli-cmake-wrapper 0.1.0

Description:

arduinoclicmakewrapper 0.1.0

Arduino Cmake toolchain leveraging arduino-cli via python wrapper script.
It does not intend to replace the arduino-cli tool, nor is it intended to be a full featured IDE-like solution.
This project seeks to programmatically scrape up the necessary parts of the compile and link calls from the arduino-cli tool, set CMake variables, and allow a CMake project to roughly emulate the Arduino compile process.
The goal is to make it possible to leverge the Arduino libraries in a CMake-bound framework, for Arduino supported targets.
If you just want to compile a normal Arduino project from the command line, skip this project and CMake altogether and just use the arduino-cli as intended.
On the other hand, if you are trying to use a CMake-bound project as the primary development process, you need a way to extract the working compile process from the Arduino IDE and reformat it into a CMake Toolchain.
E.g.: To compile an F Prime project for an Arduino target using Arduino libraries, you need a shim like this to avoid hard dependence on the exact version or Arduino, Arduino Core, and the specific versions of installed libraries.

🚀 Installation
Most typically, the cmake tooling is included as a git submodule in your project, or it is
included as an external project dependency. If you want to install the python wrapper
directly, it can be done like this:
pip install arduino-cli-cmake-wrapper
You can also install the in-development version with:
pip install https://github.com/SterlingPeet/arduino-cli-cmake-wrapper/archive/main.zip


📝 Documentation
During initial development, documentation is sparse.
It should be set up on readthedocs when the project is mature.
