Will there be any official instructions for using Flora/Gemma/Trinket boards with any Arduino IDE later than 1.0.5? I was hoping to move up to the latest Arduino somehow. I haven't had any luck at getting any 1.5.x build working with any adafruit devices. Or is there a better alternative way to do the programing that works well? I feel like I waste a lot of time trying to deal with IDE issues, which confuses any new device usage issues I run into...
Trying to figure out a more efficient way of being able to do some prototyping I'm working on and being able to know where the issue lies when things go wrong (an IDE related issue, code or certain microcontroller board quirks). If that makes any sense.
Thanks,
Ryan

1.0.5 is the latest supported release from the Arduino group.I was hoping to move up to the latest Arduino somehow.
1.5.x is still a beta release -and still has many outstanding issues. There is no reason to use it unless you are programming a Yun or a Due.

Re: Arduino 1.5.7 IDE
Ok, I'll stick with 1.0.5 then... out of curiosity, with 1.0.5, is it normal after uploading a program to the Flora over USB for the Flora to stay pulsing in the bootloader? It doesn't appear to switch out of the bootloader, which I thought it was supposed to?

Re: Arduino 1.5.7 IDE
The bootloader should run for about 10 seconds. Is it going longer than that? Does the upload succeed?

Re: Arduino 1.5.7 IDE
Yeah, the upload succeeds and it stays in the bootloader.. thinking that may be because of my wiring questions in the other post.. where the program won't run because of how I wired things up.

If you post photos or a wiring diagram we can take a look.
