Nicolay,

Thanks for the information (good way to start both with Arduino & Xcos)

Paul

Dear Paul! 

I'm on Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS amd64 with binary Scilab 5.5.2 amd64. 


I downloaded Arduino toolbox from link in this comment ( Francisco-Ronay Lopez-estrada -- July 16, 2015, 07:51:43 PM ) - Arduino linux3.zip . 

I extracted this zip-archive to my SCIHOME directory ( /home/nikolay/.Scilab/scilab-5.5.2 ), then launched builder.sce and then added loader.sce to autoload by creating /home/nikolay/.Scilab/scilab-5.5.2/.scilab with the following line: 
exec(' /home/nikolay/.Scilab/scilab-5.5.2/ linux3/loader.sce',-1); 

Then I restarted Scilab and Arduino toolbox loaded with messages: 
Startup execution: 
loading initial environment 
Start Arduino 
Load macros 
Load serial dll 
Shared archive loaded. 
Link done. 
Load palette 
Load help 
Load demos 
Arduino Version: 1.2 
--> 


In Ubuntu your user should be a member of dialout group - sudo adduser $USER dialout . 

For better Scilab usability I suggest to use light window manager theme, for example Radiance. 
After this you can use Arduino with Xcos. 

You can vote for official linux port of Arduino toolbox on forge . 



Hope this helps.

Hi Paul 

It's not necessary to download and install offline. 

When you look at the website for the module, it says: 


Category 
Instruments Control 
This means, open ATOMS, go to Instruments Control ... that's where you should be able to find the Arduino package. 

I haven't checked if it exist in ATOMS there ... but if you don't find the package there, please report it as a bug to Scilab. 
. 
I guess that Paul is running either Scilab 5.5 or Scilab 6, whereas the "arduino" module is not yet packaged for Scilab 6 (neither the 1.2 nor the 1.3 releases): "This toolbox is in the process of being built" => no binary available... And was formerly available for Scilab 5.4 but not 5.5. 

New versioning and filtering rules applying since end of june then make Arduino available only from Scilab 5.4. 
These rules kill the usage of many Scilab 5 resources. 
It is quite hard to think that this evolution is not intentional. It was perfectly anticipable. 

Samuel
