Lazarus! What You'll need?

First you will need to install the lazarus IDE, and you can download it from here

After installing it on the computer, you will need to install a component that allows Serial communication, a must to interface it with the Arduino.

For that you can install the serial component of  this set of components: Sdpo
To install it, first unzip the components to your lazarus components folder, usually at c:\lazarus\components
The open lazarus, and go to menu "Package"->"Open file package(.lpk)"
Locate and select the package you want to install, in this example "Sdpo\sdposeriallaz.lpk" in your components folder
Compile the package, and upon finish install it, wait for the rebuild of the lazarus IDE to finish.
The new package installed, in this example, will appear in the 5dpo tab

You're done, now you can start to write some fancy programs that can Interface with your Arduino.

Note: ASAP I will insert some images to illustrate the installation

  1. Hi Manuel,
    How is the project going? Are you using the Openwire/Labview components for this project? I was thinking that the Openwire interface + Lazarus + arduino would be the perfect setup. A couple of core components that interface with Arduino would be VERY NICE. I am interested in how things are going.
    Ps. You should give as a download link to Freepascal at CodeTyphon (http://www.pilotlogic.com/sitejoom/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=96&Itemid=148). This GREATLY simplifies installing Lazarus for a novice.
