Where does the Arduino IDE save the binaries on Mac OS X?
By default, Arduino outputs the HEX file of your sketch to a rather hard to find, hidden, temporary folder such as C:\Users\Cylon\AppData\Local\Temp\build7734646579940080062.
Generate the HEX file with the Arduino IDE In the Arduino software, go to the File menu then Preferences. Select the port and type of card to which you want to upload the program. When you press Compile or Upload, the Arduino IDE creates a build file in the folder AppData\Local\Temp\ in which the HEX file is located.
It's in a temporary folder. You can find the exact location by doing this: Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE's menus. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: compilation".
In the Arduino software: go to File -> Preferences and then select Show verbose output during -> compilation.
Finally, when you are compiling, the program will show you lots of data. At the last lines, you will find the path1 to the .hex
file.
1Every time the path changes!
Arduino 1.6.5 has a new command: Under the Sketch
menu, select Export compiled Binary
, then Show Sketch Folder
. There it is.
