Board manager - missing Pololu boards

[cbalmforth]

I've been using the linux v1 Arduino IDE to program my Pololu 3pi+ robot with no problems by selecting the Pololu A-Star 32U4 board from the board manager. Pololu boards do not appear in the v2 IDE board manager. The Pololu libraries DO appear in the V2 library manager though.

Hi @cbalmforth. Did you add the Boards Manager URL for the Polulu boards to the Arduino IDE v2's File > Preferences > Additional Boards Manager URLs setting? If not, try adding it, restart the Arduino IDE v2, and then see if the boards show up.

Arduino IDE 2.x saves your preferences to a different location than the classic Arduino IDE, so your preferences aren't automatically transferred from the classic Arduino IDE. Boards installed via the classic Arduino IDE will only show up once their Boards Manager URL is in the preferences.

Thanks, I added the url and sure enough the board shows up in board manager now.

You're welcome. I'm glad to hear the boards are showing now at least.

Please feel free to open that other topic about the compilation problem. I'll be glad to take a look and see if I can help out.

I sorted out the issue by installing Arduino AVR Boards which was referenced by the Pololu board info. All well now and I edited out that comment about the issue but you replied too quickly! Thanks again.
