Arduino Floppy Controller (Moppy2)

How to install arduino-cli on Linux and compile / flash Moppy2

Install arduino-cli

On Arch Linux and derivatives execute:

sudo pacman -Syu arduino-cli

Initialize global arduino-cli config

arduino-cli config init

List all Ardiono boards and their Serial Port address

arduino-cli board list

Install TimerOne library

If the TimerOne library is not installed, the following error will pop up during compilation:

src/MoppyInstruments/MoppyTimer.cpp:4:10: fatal error: TimerOne.h: No such file or directory

Install TimerOne Library to fix this issue:

arduino-cli lib install TimerOne

Compile for Arduino UNO R3

arduino-cli compile --fqbn arduino:avr:uno ./Moppy2-Arduino.ino

Upload to Arduino UNO R3

sudo arduino-cli upload -p /dev/ttyACM0 --fqbn arduino:avr:uno Moppy2-Arduino.ino

MoppyControlGUI prerequisites

Install OpenJDK 21

In Arch Linux, you need to pull it from the AUR (for example with the AUR helper yay):

yay -Syu jdk21-openjdk

Patch script to use specific Java version

So far the application only works on Java 21.x.

Put the following line to the beginning of the bin/MoppyControlGUI script to override the use of OpenJDK version 21.x:

JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk

Use Moppy2 Control GUI

Execute the bash file in ./bin/ as sudo to be able to access serial ports:

sudo ./MoppyControlGUI
