Since arduino-0021 everything for me was broken, on two different Acer Aspire netbooks. Started developing on Uno, except for the ugly USB-COM in Win7 there was not too much problem and itwas FUN to make things. Had to upgrade Arduino IDE when I got Mega ADK, for almost a year NOTHING worked. I tried making tables of different combinations of Java, IDE, preferences.txt, and anything else suggested on the forums. Now with ERW 1.0.3 I can BLINK once more.
I took up Arduino not to troubleshoot WinDoze but to HAVE FUN MAKING THINGS.
THANK YOU!!!!
Enjoy a few beers on me, and I encourage everyone to contribute as well.
Ive been using ERW 1.0.3 with no problems on a Uno but now I'm using a Leonardo and I cannot get the coms to the monitor to work (same code but with the serial port test for the Leornardo).

What kind of problem do you get with the Leonardo board?
I don't have one, but I know it works a little different. There is one guy porting some of the improvements to Teensy, so I am thinking on steal some of that knowledge one day (because the Teensy works similar to the Leonardo) to make the mod work.
I use my monitor program for debugging that uses "Serial.print..." to write to the Monitor.
With ERW this does not work.
I'm no expert but my observation is that with the Leonardo the USB is in the processor itself and the USB link drops out and back in twice during every download. There are details on that elsewhere. You also need to wait for the instance of the serial port to established by adding.
while (!Serial) { ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only }
This I've done although I'm not convinced that works, nevertheless non-ERW environment works and ERW doesn't, shame because I really prefer your polished version and thought you should be aware. Without a Leonardo I guess your a bit stuffed. If I can do any tests to help you just shout up, in the meantime Ill use the tardy official IDE.
Can u help me with getting the Taskbar icon right for version 1.5r2 though?? i know u are waiting for the Stable releases, but i work a lot with the DUE and it would be nice to have the better icon on the Taskbar, the high resolution one....
psgarcha92:
but in github, there is no source for 1.5r2....
Am sorry for being stupid, i am a not very used to compiling and stuff
Regards
There is a file with instructions, look how to make Arduino in google. You may merge a little bit the code from 1.0.3 into 1.5 (just the icon code). Otherwise you will have to wait until I do it
Thanks for all the work you have done already, what i am going to suggest might seem a little selfish, but,
have u ever used CodeBlocks Compiler? located here http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/26#windows
i ask because, i have been using it for a while now, and i have noticed that when i type in an opening brace "{", a closing brace, "}" is automatically placed in the next line, in a same way, typing in a " results in a closing " in the next line. We have templates now, but it would be really handy if this could also be there in the Arduino IDE. Do u think it is doable, without a lot of efforts?
Please take it just as a suggestion. I am personally a fan of your work, you are doing something the Arduino Team should be undertaking, hats off to you.
It is doable, but as every feature, I wait until several people ask for the same.
In my opinion, I hate these auto completions, I like visual studio style, non-intrusive completion. Sometimes you try to fix some piece of code and the extra stuff keeps showing up. In any new IDE I have to use, I first check how to disable the quotes, parentheses and brackets completion.
I totally agree, but when typing long lines of code, which for example might contain if else conditions, it sometimes becomes hard to tell which Closing bracket/Brace belongs to which Opening bracket....if the code is auto formatted in the manner it is done in CoceBlocks, it becomes a lot easier.
Another thing i wanted to ask was, as i have read, your versions of Arduino IDE use newer WinAVR versions....can that ever cause anything to go wrong..? has it ever happened that a code would work fine on the original IDE and not work properly on your IDE??
I cant wait for u to port all you have done to the Due software
