Arduino_VFC_parser

A parser to map Arduino code into the VFC tools

This uses:

pip install clang-format

🌀 Arduino Parser INO to VFC IDE

Created in just a few hours, this preliminary parser helps safeguard your Arduino sketches by making backups and enhancing readability.

The backup file is: _filename.ino

📌 Overview

Designed for Arduino-formatted indentation, this tool aims to improve code organization and clarity.

Features

• A Python-based parser tailored for Arduino sketches
• Inserts #begin... / #end... comments (#endfunc, #endif, #endloop, etc.)
• Makes block structures explicitly visible—beyond just indentation

🔁 3-Phase Parsing of Arduino Files

1. Format the file
2. Add structure tags
3. Map structure comments to VFC tokens

Once annotated, the file is fed into VFCode, a visual flow graph renderer. This reveals the full logical structure in a visual, explorable format that integrates with the Arduino IDE.

📊 Example

Before

void loop() {
    if (sensorReading > threshold) {
        activateMotor();
    }
}

### After
void loop() { #beginloop
    if (sensorReading > threshold) { #beginif
        activateMotor();
    } #endif
} #endloop
