Arduino Board Manager Custom Board Proxy

Warning: Third party boards are now officially supported in Arduino v1.6.4+, so this is no longer needed. Check out this tutorial for more info.

This is a simple node.js HTTP proxy that allows you to inject custom boards into the Arduino 1.6.2+ package_list.json file. When the list is requested, it grabs the latest package list from Arduino's servers and injects the custom packages into the file before serving it back to the IDE.

You will only need to download and run the proxy if you have custom boards of your own to add to the Board Manager list. If you are looking to add Adafruit's custom boards to your Board Manager list, there is no need to download anything. Check out this tutorial for more info about pointing your Arduino IDE at our proxy.

Installing

Make sure you have the latest stable node.js:

$ node -v
v0.12.2

Clone the repo and install dependencies:

$ git clone https://github.com/adafruit/adafruit-arduino-proxy.git
$ cd adafruit-arduino-proxy
$ npm install

Start the server:

$ node proxy.js

Example Packages & Boards

You can take a look at the boards & packages directories for examples. They probably can be simplified, but they are a good starting place.

adafruit-arduino-proxy's Issues

Not working for me

OS X 10.10.2, Arduino 1.63, Node 0.12.2
I can't get Adafruit boards to show in Board Manager.
Could you detail what is supposed to happen after I run node proxy.js ? I get no response in Terminal. Is that correct?

Support for third-party boards

Do you have any interest in accepting pull requests to add other third-party boards to your repository? What you've done here is fantastic, and it will work even better if there's a single repository people can point their IDEs to for a wide variety of 3rd party Arduino-based boards; expecting users to change the proxy address for each new board they install obviously isn't too practical. It'd be great if Adafruit were the ones maintaining a repository of open-source Arduino board files.

Alternately, if you're not interested, would you be amenable to contributing your own boards to an impartial third-party repository of board files?

Can´t make it work

I add apt.adafruit.com as the Server (HTTP) under Proxy Settings with a Port (HTTP) of 5050
but when I click on boards manager nothing changes..
I don´t have antivirus and I 'm running arduino 1.6.3 on windows.
Can anyone help me?
