Moteino Boards Missing from Arduino IDE [solved]
« on: March 18, 2016, 01:25:30 PM »
I just updated to 1.6.8 and the reverted to 1.6.7.  Added Moteino dir to 'arduino-1.6.7\hardware', but Mote brds not showing in IDE brds.

Anyone else having this problem?

My bad.  I put the wrong Moteino folder in hardware.  It's working.

I've always downloaded to Moteino R4 and Moteino LoRa using Arduino Uno settings.  It has always seemed to work.

By the way, welcome back.  You've been gone so long I thought maybe you had passed away!  I found many of your earlier posts were quite informative, so I hope you'll be posting more again soon.

I think John uses MoteinoMEGAs. For that, the Moteino core is required. Otherwise all other atmega328p Moteinos will work with UNO settings with one minor exception. The Moteino bootloader is 1K instead of 0.5K (UNO). Total memory is 32K. So the exception is when your sketch exceeds 31K, cannot upload more than that to a regular Moteino. For MoteinoMEGA the memory is 128K total, 1K bootloader so 127K available for sketches.
