## Simple Python routine for creating a new AVR project

## Feel free to extend this to meet your needs

## In particular, main.h includes nearly every AVR library you'll ever need

## which is no problem, b/c the linker will just ignore the unused ones.

## But if you're not using them, it might cause confusion later.

## Trim them down to fit?

## Or, if you're feeling DIY, you can just copy the Makefile, main.c and main.h

## into a new directory yourself. The other files are optional, but handy.

import os

import shutil

import sys

## Get command-line input

class UsageError(Exception):

pass

try:

newProjectName = sys.argv[1]

except IndexError:

raise(UsageError("Please specify a project name on the command-line.\n"))

## Create new project directory...

## ... in parent directory

## relativeDirectory = os.path.join(os.path.pardir, newProjectName)

## ... or in this directory, and you get to move it yourself.

relativeDirectory = newProjectName

os.mkdir(relativeDirectory)

## Files copied directly over...

def copyToNewDirectory(whichFile, newDirectory):

shutil.copy(whichFile, newDirectory)

## ... these ones.

for filename in ["Makefile", "main.c", "main.h", "USART.h", "USART.c", "macros.h"]:

copyToNewDirectory(filename, relativeDirectory)

print "Copied Makefile, main.c, and main.h into %s." % relativeDirectory

print "Time to start coding."
