Can not install Teensyduino 1.2.1 on Arduino 1.6.2...

[dl9sec]

Hi,

i tried to install Teensyduino 1.2.1 on the new Arduino IDE 1.6.2.
It seems, that the directory structure changed and some key files cannot be found at the expected place.
I tried to set some smybolic links, but after linking to arduino.exe and arduino_debug.exe, the symbolic linking to the java libs was impossible (multiple lib-directories).

When will there be a Teensyduino supporting Arduino IDE 1.6.2?

Regards, Thorsten

Out of curiousity, is there feature in 1.6.2 that you particularly need? With the releases of 1.6.x coming fast and furious, I'm not sure whether it becomes a hopeless task trying to keep up with a moving target.

I just posted another quick update here. TL;DR = 1.6.2 support coming later today

Yeah, it's a challenge. I just hope they don't keep pushing 120+ commits developed in secret over a period of months into each release only an hour before it becomes public. That puts a huge burden on everyone else to catch up to months of development with thousands of lines added and changed. They're also simply not that good at fully testing everything on every operating system (I'm not either), so they really do need to do betas or release candidates or at least nightly builds with incremental progress, so people can find and report bugs.

Michael, thanks for the hint. Indeed i didn't see Paul's thread (blame on me, sorry ).

Don't know why, but with 1.6.1 on my machine (Win7 x64, latest Java VM) the menues and dropdown texts are disappearing if i hover over them. With 1.6.2 all seems to work fine. So, yes, i have a particular need...

Paul, thanks for the quick response and your efforts. Will try that.

Cheers, Thorsten

Yeah, 1.6.1 increased a Java virtual memory setting. It's apparently too much for some computers. It's scaled back in 1.6.2.
