Hello,
I've installed the Arduino IDE2.3.3 on a Macbook Pro with chip Apple M1.
MacOs is sequoia version 15.0.1.
When I'm trying to upload data via command +shift+P, I can't select LittleFS to Pico/ESP8266/ESP32. I've created a directory on main directory Arduino15, sub directory plugins, and installed the file arduino-littlefs-upload-1.2.1.vsix.
What can be the problem? Please advice.Thanks for your support. Regards Patrick
I also have a Mac and 2.3.3. I am not familiar with +Shift+P
I recall something about uploading data but not with plugins folder I have a tools folder with folder ESP8266FS which has a tools folder then a jar file (No idea what's in it
Hi @patrick_luyts.
This is incorrect. You must follow the instructions:
https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-littlefs-upload#installation
Copy the VSIX file to
~/.arduinoIDE/plugins/on Mac and Linux orC:\Users\<username>\.arduinoIDE\plugins\on Windows (you may need to make this directory yourself beforehand). Restart the IDE.
Note that the parent folder is ~/.arduinoIDE, not Arduino15.
So move the .vsix file to the correct location, then restart Arduino IDE if it is running. This time you should find the "Upload LittleFS to Pico/ESP8266/ESP32" command in the Arduino IDE command palette as expected.
Pressing the Command+Shift+P keyboard shortcut opens Arduino IDE's "command palette":
This is a menu that lists various "commands" you can select to perform operations.
Some of these commands are only another way to perform an action that is also available via Arduino IDE's primary interface (for example, you can select Help > Check for Arduino IDE Updates from the Arduino IDE menus, or you can open the command palette and select the "Arduino: Check for Arduino IDE Updates" command). In this case, it is only offering the user another way to use Arduino IDE, which some might find more efficient.
Other commands are for advanced or obscure operations that are only accessible via the command palette.
That is an Arduino IDE 1.x Tool. It doesn't have any effect when using Arduino IDE 2.x
I knw about Cmd+Shift+P, but I thought he saais just +Shift+P which does nothing on my Mac.
Did not know they changed locations, where are all these 'special' folders and add-ons documented?
Hello, thanks for the feedback. You right if you use a Macbook pro with example OS Big Sur. ( see screenshot):
MacBook Pro,Dual-Core Intel Core i5,Big Sur Version 11.7.10 (pic Mac Pro Big Sur)
But I'm using the Macbook pro with CPU M1 (Apple owned ship), (pic Mac Pro Sequoia)
Any idea how i can solve this issue?
Regards
additional info :
first screen shot is Macbook Pro Big Sur
second one : Macbook Sequoia
The macOS version is irrelevant. The installation procedure is the same on any version of macOS.
If there is something you don't understand about the instructions, just let us know and we'll provide assistance. It seems that you had no problem finding the ~/.arduinoIDE on your Big Sur machine, so you should be able to do it on the Sequoia machine as well.
Something that is important to know is that the .arduinoIDE folder is hidden by default. You can make it visible by pressing the Command+Shift+. keyboard shortcut.
Hello ptillisch, thanks for your support. Problem solved.Regards
Patrick
You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
Regards, Per
