issue: trinket (5v) IDE modifications

Post by fortney »

Hi,

I am following the instructions from your site about installing some Arduino IDE changes so I can use the boot loader. I moved the folder "hardware" to "arduino" however the tools-->board control does not show any of the expected gemma and trinket folders.

I did all this several times, quit and restarted the ardino program and inserted the hardware folder into "arduino" (sketchbook) and the master arduino file, rebooted the iMAC(v10.6.8) but no joy.

Suggestions appreciated.

Open 'Preferences' from the 'Arduino' menu and check the path shown there for the sketchbook folder. Make sure that the Hardware folder is in that same location.

Did you unzip the hardware folder before you moved it? When you open the hardware folder, is another folder called "attiny" at the top level?
and the master arduino file
What do you mean, you move the hardware folder into the "master arduino file"? It should only be in the sketchbook folder. Remove the folder from anyplace else you copied it to.
