Install Zigduino

[alex....@gmail.com]

Hi all,

I just brought Zigduino r2, I installed the driver but I'm not able to install the environment. I am using Arduino 1.05 and 1.50. I copied

Zigduino-1.0-new-extension\zigduino-1_0.zip\hardware\arduino\cores\zigduino to arduino-1.0.5-windows\arduino-1.0.5\hardware\arduino\cores.

But i cannot see  zigduino on Tools-> Board

Can anyone help?

Thank you

Make sure you've added the Zigduino section to your boards.txt file
and restarted the IDE. The Arduino IDE builds the Tools -> Board menu
from the boards.txt file at start up.

Thank you, I am not able to find  zigduino-board.txt  what should I really add to boards.txt ?

[Pierce Nichols]

There's a complete boards.txt file in the Zigduino zipball. It has a
section for the Zigduino r1 and another for the r2. You can either
copy it over your existing one or c&p those sections over into the
existing boards.txt.

Thanks I got it. I just copied and paste it in the arduino boards.txt, now I can see zigduino r1 and r1 on tools-> board

While adding the support files (hardware, libraries, etc) to the Arduino application directory will work, it's not the preferred way to do it, as you'll have to rebuild that directory structure every time you upgrade the Arduino core application. The better way to do this is to install them to your Arduino sketch directory (My Documents\Arduino on windows, ~/Documents/Arduino on OSX).

Thus, you would install the contents of the Zigduino hardware folder to My Documents\Arduino\hardware. Any libraries you pick up along the way would go in My Documents\Arduino\libraries. You also don't have to worry about editing the core boards.txt when you do this; if each added hardware platform includes its own boards.txt in its hardware direct, the arduino IDE will concatenate them in memory when it loads.

thank you

Now I am trying to run a simple code, but I have an error: 'Serial' was not declared in this scope 

 #include "Arduino.h"

 void setup()
 {
   Serial.begin(9600);
 }

 void loop()
 {
   Serial.write("Hello World");
 }

Do I need to install another library ? 

[John Duksta]

No, serial is a core library. However, it has changed slightly in Arduino 1.0

http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/Serial

To output a string via serial, you'll want Serial.print or Serial.println

I changed it, now I have

#include "Arduino.h"

 

 void setup()

 {

   Serial.begin(9600);

 }

 

 void loop()

 {

   Serial.print("Hello World");

 }

Actually, I am able to compile it when I select arduino uno through Tools->Board

Once I select zigduino r2, I have this error:

I had similar problems. I've basically quit trying to get the zigduino working for now and am spending my time on other projects until the software issues have been resolved.

Don,

I see two problems. First, you need to update the copy of WinAVR you
have in arduino-1.0.5/hardware/tools to the the latest version, which
is included in the Windows tarball. That should deal with both of the
first two errors. Second, you need to make sure that
hardware/arduino/variants/zigduino_r2/pins_arduino.h exists.
