User friendly way to modify code with out arduino IDE - Is this possible?

[visualSound]

Hey everyone,

I'm working on a project where it would be highly convenient if the end user could plug the teensy / finished device into a usb port and through a premade program (preferably python) set some options via a gui, click a button, and have the code re assembled with the user inputs baked in, and uploaded to the teensy...

I realize an sd card reader with the necessary config information would be a better choice and probably a lot simpler to implement, but keeping the size of the hardware down is important here as well as keeping the user's experience as simple as possible.

I have some decent experience in coding for teensy, python, etc. but I have no idea if this is possible, or even practical.

Any thoughts and advice would be wildly appreciated!

Sure you can. You just need to go some Command line type coding so that the Python or user input populates a bit of C code and then issues a make.

Check our http://forum.pjrc.com/threads/25439-Makefile-Compatible-With-Arduino-IDE-Sketches?highlight=make+compile for information about how to compile without the Arduino IDE running.

Awesome thanks! I'll give this a shot
