Note: Although Chromeduino was written as an offline application, it does interact with a cloud web service to compile your sketch to a hex file. This service is completely free and transparent, but you must have internet connectivity to compile your sketches. This will change soon once AVR-GCC is ported to JavaScript. If you need an offline method of programming hex files to an Arduino, check out my other application \"AVRChick\".
