can't find avrdude

upload.tool=arduino:avrdude

The statement above will cause as error pop up when uploading bootloaders. This problem occurs both in Visual Studio and Atmel Studio in my laptop.

However, if I switch to the official Arduino IDE 1.6.4, it works totally fine.

Then I tried to modify it as
upload.tool=avrdude

Now it works OK for visual micro but fails on arduino IDE.

Hope someone can fix this inconsistency. It would totally fry up an arduino newbie like me.

Thanks. Wink

Hi,

Thanks for the report. Questions

Which board are you using and where did you get the core?

I am using TJK's balanduino board. Tried to play with it.

The board was obtained using URL:
package_tkj_balanduino_index.json

The project was proven to work well in visual micro. Just the bootloader part seems buggy. Cool

Hi,

I am having difficulty replicating this issue.

I added the url you provided to the board manager and installed the Balanduino which showed two boards called revision 1.2c and 1.3

I used Arduino 1.6.4 and along with the default avr (I did not install a different avr version using boards manager)

Can you please switch on "tools>options>visual micro>compiler>show build properties" and also "verbose".

The attempt to compile and upload. Post or email the output. Email to info[at]visualmicro.com

Thanks very much
