Dear Scilab users! Recently I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, it has Scilab 5.5.2 in repositories <http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/scilab>.
I planned to use it with Arduino Uno board, so I tried to install arduino toolbox (ATOMS) with -->atomsInstall('arduino') atomsInstallList: The package arduino is not available. !--error 10000 at line 51 of function atomsError called by : at line 76 of function atomsInstallList called by : at line 233 of function atomsInstall called by : atomsInstall('arduino') so I can't install it. I can't understand why this toolbox is not available <https://atoms.scilab.org/?order=&direction=&key=arduino&title=on&platform=&scilab_supported_version=5.5>. It has huge free-software popularization and educational potential. Isn't it? Someone opened ticket on Forge <http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/arduino/issues/1556/> to indicate this problem. But with no results. It seems that Scilab-forge is half-dead. I remember the last discussion <http://mailinglists.scilab.org/Scilab-users-Scilab-Arduino-tt4034546.html#a4034553> about Arduino and Scilab 5.5.2, it solves the problem, but it is not newbie-friendly to download, extract and run ATOM-archive manually. Please compile this toolbox for Scilab 5.5.2 and make it available as ATOM on all platforms. Moreover it is not available for Scilab 6 as explained in the new ticket <http://forge.scilab.org/index.php/p/arduino/issues/1684/> and on ATOMS site <https://atoms.scilab.org/?order=&direction=&key=arduino&title=on&platform=&scilab_supported_version=6.0> . -- *With best regards,Ph.D., * *associate professor at MPEI <http://mpei.ru/lang/en/Pages/default.aspx>,IEEE member,maintainer of Mathieu functions toolbox for Scilab <http://atoms.scilab.org/toolboxes/Mathieu/>,Nikolay Strelkov.*
