This talk was given at CESEC 2015 which is a Summer School on Critical Embedded Systems: http://cesec2015.sciencesconf.org/ These slides present the Arduino Designer why and how we develop it with Eclipse Sirius: http://www.eclipse.org/sirius/ It presents also the Eclipse Sirius Animation feature: http://www.eclipse.org/sirius/lab.html

1. Arduino Designer

2. A model

3. A micro controller

4. And a cat ?

5. Curiosity

6. Discover by yourself

7. Computers are everywhere

8. Understand electronics

9. Arduino

10. Understand programming
Many open source software are dedicated to learn
programming to kids: Scratch, TurlteLogo, KidsRuby,
Python4Kids…
Initiatives: Programatoo, Devoxx4Kids, greenlight,
coding goûter...

11. Text

18. A dedicated tooling
Graphical Programming = Sirius
Light UI

19. A dedicated tooling
Graphical Programming = Sirius
Light UI = RCP application

20. Create graphical editor

22. Ecore Modeling Framework
(EMF)
A modeling framework
and code generation facility
for building tools and other applications based on a
structured data model.

23. Arduino DSL

38. ON OFF

39. servo.h

54. EMF.edit
JAVA API :
★ Content & label
providers
★ Command framework
★ Default tree editor

56. Sirius
A tool to quickly define DSL based on custom multi-
view workbenches with dedicated representations
http://eclipse.org/sirius

57. Diagram definition
Create a Sirius Specification Project and provide
diagram descriptions :
● Mappings
● Styles
● Tools
Interpreted @ runtime

59. Mappings
Maps
semantic elements
onto
graphical notation

60. Mappings

61. Mappings

62. Styles
Define
graphical appearance

65. Tools
Defined thanks to
a simple action langage
and/or
Java services

69. Queries
Coupling to semantics is low
thanks to queries!

70. Diet RCP
Keep only
in the UI
what’s really
necessary

71. Simplified UI
AcceleoArduino SDK
EMF
GMF Runtime
Sirius Runtime
Eclipse RCP
Arduino Designer

72. Dashboard

73. Diet RCP
Simplify the workflow

74. Use Sirius API
Have a look to the
Sirius Developer Manual

75. Integrate code generator
Generate ino file with Acceleo

76. Integrate code generator
AcceleoArduino SDK
EMF
GMF Runtime
Sirius Runtime
Eclipse RCP
Arduino Designer

80. All is instruction!

81. All is instruction!
Use
inheritance
for the templates!

83. Combine with Arduino tools
AcceleoArduino SDK
EMF
GMF Runtime
Sirius Runtime
Eclipse RCP
Arduino Designer

84. Combine with Arduino tools
Arduino compiler
Target uploader
Based on Arduino IDE to get well packaged tools :
avr-gcc, avrdude

92. Model + Microcontroller = ♥

93. And where is the cat in this story?

94. Tigger
