A state machine compiler for Arduino

ASMC - Another State Machine Compiler

The ASMC generates code for small efficient event driven state machines primarily for for micro-controllers. The compiler takes a state machine description file and creates a c++ class from it. Although the tutorial and examples are all for Arduino systems, the code generated is generic and can be compile for any system.

Features

• Flexible Actions

User code can be executed on transition events as well as entry or exit from a state.

• State Variables

User defined state variables are supported.

Missing

• No pre-built executable.

The package should compile on any system with a basic GNU Unix style development environment. The tools required to build the compiler are 'make', 'flex', 'bison', and 'gcc'. Additionally you will need to have Arduino installed to build the examples. I don't use Windows or Mac OS, if some brave soul wishes to contribute Windows or Mac support to the project that would be most appreciated.

Installation

System Requirements

• GNU utilities gcc, make, bison and flex
• Arduino-Makefile v1.6.0

Setup

Down load the repository and edit 'config.mk' to set SRCDIR and USR_LIB_PATH. Select the other variables as appropriate for your OS type. You may need to adjust some of the other variables based on your local configuration.

Building

Run make in the top level project directory to build the compiler and all of the example scripts. If you don't wish to build the examples change to the src directory and run make
