Hello,
I'm working on a project for school and using Arduino RedBoard. I've installed the IDE and driver as per instructions. But when I try to install the SIK code I can't find the examples folder that should exist in the applications contents. I'm using a M1 MacBook and downloaded the MacOS 64bit version of the application. And the MacOS version of the driver.
Would appreciate some help on this, Thanks!
Driver for?
What's a SIK code?
SIK code: SIK Code Download Page - SparkFun Electronics
It's a guide for the projects in the manual I presume(haven't done any of it since I can't get it to work)
The driver: How to Install CH340 Drivers - SparkFun Learn
So that the port shows up for the Arduino.
According to the instructions you should add the SIK code to the Arduino/Java/Examples folder. But that folder doesn't exist for me(neither Java or Examples).
There is no such board. The RedBoard is a SparkFun product and nowadays exists in two versions. The original RedBoard (with FTDI chip) and the RedBoard Qwiic. I assume that you have the latter.
It does not matter where you place the examples. Create a directory called e.g. SikExamples in your home directory and copy the examples there. You can open an example sketch by navigating to a subdirectory in that directory and opening the ino file in the IDE. Alternatively by navigating there in the file explorer (or whatever it's called on a Mac) and double-clicking the ino file.
Hey, I solved it using the method you described. Opened it through my "Finder" app(file explorer on Mac). Thank you so much. Me and my laboration partner have been working like crazy trying to figure this out😂. Not even the teacher knew how to solve it.
