Can't upload hiduino to mega2560 on mac

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

hallo everybody!

I have build a recording light for my Studio and the blink example works fine. i copied a code from this forum and i guess it will work if i only could install the 'arduino_midi.hex' to it.
when i klick on 'add zip library' i can't select the file... i even tried this on my friends windows 10 laptop with xloader; seemed to be ok, but i even can't find the board on my midi setup (Cubase/Logic/ProTools/AudioMidiSetup)..

is there another way to install hiduino to my board? Remember: using macbook pro from 2021 (M1 Chip)

i've read almost every thing on the Internet about it, but i didn't get it done.

Thankfull for your help

Benni

i can't even import any of the libraries to IDE... how should i get this written to my Arduino board?
i'm not that pro on programming.. sry..

Please post the instructions that came with that. Or better, a link to the site/page where you found that.

What does that mean?

When you scroll down, you will see the instructions.

"add zip library" is a funktion of Arduino IDE to make libraries available to install... but i can't import the library to IDE, cause they are shown as gray (unklickable) files..

Do you know how to install via ISP or dfu-programmer?

sry for any typos and my horrible english.. :rofl:

Sooo.... Problem was solved by learning the new commands for Terminal like: "cd Downloads/..." instead of "cd/users/'username'/Downloads/........"

i have now installed it via homebrew in the terminal.. but the "add ZIP. Library" funktion in Arduino IDE isn't working at all... don't know what the problem is with this...

Thanks for the help i got from you both.

Kind regards
Benni
