arduino-builder: Specify a custom build directory.
$ arduino-builder -build-path ${path-to-build_directory}
try on your machine

The command "arduino-builder -build-path ${path-to-build_directory}" is used to compile and build an Arduino sketch (.ino) file into an executable binary file that can be uploaded to an Arduino board.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "arduino-builder": This is the command-line tool that comes with the Arduino IDE. It is responsible for compiling and building Arduino sketches.
  • "-build-path": This is an option that specifies the output directory where the built files will be saved. The "${path-to-build_directory}" is a placeholder for the actual path where you want the build files to be generated. You need to replace this placeholder with the desired directory path.

By executing this command, the Arduino sketch in the current directory (or specified with additional options) will be compiled, and the output binary file (.hex or .elf) along with other generated files will be saved in the specified build directory.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
