B4R Question B4R Board Selection Error

[rwblinn]

Hi,

After installation B4R, configuring the pathes, the board selector gives an error.
The Arduino UNO is connected to PC port COM4 which is recognized in the drop down.

My error: (I've installed the last Arduino IDE)

On Arduino IDE --> Arduino/Genuino Uno and COM3 --> Runs fine

On B4R: --> Board Tools Selector --> can select Board, but Serial Port is empty (Refresh doesn't solve this)

Any idea ??

These two issues are not related to each other.

@rwblinn Are you using Arduino IDE v1.6.7+? Does the Arduino IDE run properly (can you select a board)?

@inakigarm Please start a new thread for this issue.

@rwblinn Are you using Arduino IDE v1.6.7+? Does the Arduino IDE run properly (can you select a board)?

Arduino IDE 1.6.8.
The Aduino IDE is running properly with boards like UNO, MEGA. Board selection no issue, port recognized. Test sketched running ok.
The Arduino IDE is installed in a local path C:\Daten\arduino\IDE\Arduino.exe from which the IDE is running fine.

Can you enable the IDE logs and post them:
- Create a folder named c:\temp
- Run B4R from the command line with b4r -log

It will create a file named log.txt in c:\temp

Hi Erel,

pls find the content of log.txt after performing two tasks:
1) started B4R > Tool > Board Selector
and
2) by compiling led test program which displays the error "please select a board first"

I've uploaded a new version (Beta 2) that will print the error to the logs. Please try it again with the new version.

 

[rwblinn]

Please find the logfile attached - same errors as reported previously.

 

[Erel]

Beta #3 was uploaded. It should fix this issue. It will read the boards data from an included file (boards.txt) if it fails to fetch the boards list from the Arduino IDE.

Solved - Got the first program running - green blinking led (see image below - left arduino) = thanks a lot.

my test environment as a starter = 2 arduinos

Hi, Erel

How to add item of my self arduino product on Board Selector menu if I want B4R support for my product? Ex: my product name is KM-Duino32 this is atmega32 microcontroller based. in Arduino IDE we can modified or create new board spesification it self for support our product and running well.Thanks in advance..

 

[Erel]

B4R gets the list of boards from the Arduino IDE. So it should include all the additional boards as well.

OK...thank you for your reply, I will try.!
