dScript IDE

The dScript IDE (Integrated Development Environment) is used to write the programs that run

on the modules, it has syntax highlighting to make the programs easier to read and invokes

the program and website compilers. All labels are listed in the right panel and are for easy

navigation of your code. Clicking a label will take you to that section in the main editor window.

The message panel shows the status of the compiler, programmer and any errors found.

Most of the buttons should be fairly obvious to you, they are:

New, Open, Save, Swap, Cut, Copy, Paste, Find, Undo, Redo, Comment & Uncomment.

The Swap button swaps between the current and previous projects you have opened, this is

useful when referring or copying from another project. The File menu also includes "Save As",

and the Find button includes options for replacing words. The Undo and Redo buttons will be

greyed out when there is nothing to undo/redo.

The comment buttons Comment & Uncomment are for selected blocks of text, which is very

useful when testing programs as you can easily choose to ignore sections.

Next is a text box showing which module is currently connected on the USB port. The next

button along is a white magnifying glass on a green background, this is the module search

button. If you launch the editor before connecting the module, you can use the module search

button to find the dScript module.

Next is the build button (looking like a hammer), this will build your program and website but

will not upload them to the module, reporting any errors found.

The white triangle on the green background is the build, load and run button. It first checks

the modules runtime version and if this is different to that required by this version of the

editor, it will automatically upload the new firmware. The user program and any associated

website are compiled and uploaded to the module, and run.

The blue world button is used to select the folder containing your website with the selected

path being displayed in the text box next to it. This website is saved along with your program

in a project file.
