Adafruit Arduino download problems
Hi - I just downloaded Adafruit Arduino 1.0.5 for Mac but when I try to open it I get this message, "Adafruit Arduino 1.0.5" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash." I've tried a couple of times now. Any advice?

Re: Adafruit Arduino download problems
It's not damaged. This is a misleading message from MacOSX. Go into System Preferences/Security, and on the General tab, change the selection to allow apps downloaded from anywhere. Then run the Adafruit version of Arduino. After it launches, go back to the Security Preferences and change the selection back to 'Mac App Store and identified developers'
You only have to go through this procedure the first time you run the Adafruit Arduino app. After that, MacOSX will remember that it's OK to run it.
