Running an Arduino sketch with Fritzing

Question

I am trying to learn programming on hardware, and have ordered an Arduino for that. While I wait for it to be delivered, I started to poke around and came across Fritzing. I am able to attach an LED to the microcontroller. My problem is this:

Fritzing comes with an IDE that can be used to write code for the Arduino and PICAXE microcontrollers. Having written the code to blink the LED on an Arduino, I am unable to compile it and attach it to the schematic I have made. How do I do that? The page Experimental program window is not really helpful.

Answer 1

I work on the Fritzing team. Picaxe programming does work in Fritzing, but currently Arduino programming does not--the long story is that there is no easy shell command for launching the Arduino compiler and uploader.

You can edit programs for the Arduino in Fritzing, but to run them you still have to use the Arduino IDE. We should make it clearer that Arduino programming is not full available in Fritzing.

Answer 2

It is currently not possible to simulate an Arduino circuit with Fritzing. Neither are there any plans to simulate Arduino.
