Stino: Sublime Text editor as Arduino IDE

I ran across this on Twitter yesterday:

It's an add-on for the Sublime Text editor that turns it into an Arduino IDE. I pointed it at my Digispark Arduino app, and it seems to have picked up all the settings for board, programmer, etc. I haven't tried using it to upload a sketch yet, but I'm definitely going to give it a try.

This is great! I already use Sublime Text both for my day job and for Arduino, but for Arduino I was just pasting into the IDE and uploading.

Erik,

Standard Arduino IDE has an option for "Using external editor"

In this mode, you can't modify the sources directly via Arduino IDE. Textbox field becomes greyed out and doesn't update in real time. When you upload compile / upload button, it refreshes the source files from the harddisk and does its magic.

Way much better way to "copying and pasting" :) Edit in the external editor, hit compile / upload button in the Arduino IDE.

Best,
ihsan.

Seems nice but it's not free, but it has a vi mode  :P

Does any of you know of a free alternative to the arduino IDE that has autocomplete?

Edit:
Looks like there's an eclipse plugin and a visual studio plugin (not free but I have a licence from work).

I'm sure some would want to shoot me for this but while I try to work in the Arduino IDE because you should use what you sell (or give away in the case of our IDE changes) - personally I really like developing with:


Atmel studio 6.1
http://www.atmel.com/Microsite/atmel_studio6/


with this addon to give it some simple Arduino compatibility


http://www.visualmicro.com/




both free, the visualmicro folks also make a pay debugger for arduino that can be handy (though I'm not currently a user of it).


That said Sublime Text is worth the money as an all around super customizable development enviro - in my day job as a CTO, it is my recommendation to all of my developers and what I use myself.
