I have just started using the IDE 2, and I want to program Atmega32A controllers. I cannot find the process to install the core for this chip, or the proper core. I KNOW I am missing something, looked in the manual, didn't find anything.
Do I actually need a core, if I am programming the Atmega32A, using the Arduino IDE 2??
I look forward to your response.
I recommend using the excellent 3rd party "MightyCore" boards platform. You can install it by following the instructions from the MightyCore documentation here:
Yes. The Arduino IDE 2.x installation does include the "Arduino AVR Boards" platform, but that platform does not provide full support for the ATmega32A microcontroller (since none of the official Arduino boards use this chip). But fortunately the creators of MightyCore came to the rescue and made this useful chip accessible to the Arduino community.
