Hi Emily... This path you suggest does not work either 

You know you can just drag the file from the Finder into your Terminal window and it will automatically write the correct path? Try that.

oups Emily... YES it works... your suggested path works.... MANY THX

Yay! You're welcome! You don't normally have to include the path to avrdude or the path to avrdude.conf if you want to save yourself some typing.

I've tried to simplify below line as per suggestion but it says a few things: cannot find conf file then it invokes another avrdude that times out so I guess better I keep this longer typing line

Code:

new-host-5:~ selfonlypath$ /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude -C/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java/hardware/tools/avr/etc/avrdude.conf -F -v -patmega1280 -cstk500 -P/dev/tty.usbserial-A6008igj -b57600 -D -Uflash:w:/Users/selfonlypath/Documents/TV/TransVerter1/applet/TransVerter1.cpp.hex:i

Yep, best keep doing what works!

selfonlypath:

If you wish to know where your file is, open a terminal where your file resides, then type "pwd -P", or in case it does not work, just "pwd"

Then use that absolute path.

Try dragging the file into the terminal window. (i.e. type the command, stopping where you would type in the file name, then drag in the file. the path will automatically show up.)

Thank you all, so many ways to access the correct file pathname... Everything works perfect now, avrdude just downloads fine my HEX on my arduino mega  

[Reply #23 on:]

Glad to hear it. Out of curiosity, what was the correct path?

maybe read a few posts before for complete command line otherwise, here it is
