Sucess 5.3.1

#31 Post by tytower »

Started with a new install of 5.3.1

Used SFS load to bring in devx-slacko_5.3.1.sfs

Installed
binutils-avr_2.20-2_i386.deb
gcc-avr_4.5.3-2_i386.deb
avr-libc_1.6.7-1ubuntu2_all.deb
gcc-g++-4.5.3.tar.gz ( not sure on the need for this one)


Put java 1.6 version in /opt/java/bin and edited /etc/profile to add it to $PATH (1.7 does not work)

Installed arduino-1.0-linux.tgz

Went to Arduino-1 Dir and edited icon for arduino script , got an icon from /arduino-1/reference/img/logo.png

Then dragged "arduino" script to desktop and rebooted

All going -no background terminal.

Just a note for any older arduino users

Programs you wrote for Arduino earlier versions end in .pde
Now they use .ino (last 3 letters in arduino).Your sketches will be saved as .ino

If you try to run old programs and compile and upload you may get lots of errors.

wiring.h has been dropped and Arduino.h is now used a lot in the libraries WProgram is another that has been changed .

You have to go get the latest versions of the add on libraries you have used in your programming or a lot of it won't recompile.
eg VirtualWire , OneWire, LED and others
