the latest version of Arduino doesn't work
Works for me.
Do this:
- Download and install Arduino IDE 1.8.5 from http://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/Software.
- Start the Arduino IDE 1.8.5.
- File > Preferences
- Note the folder shown after the "Sketchbook location" option.
- Close the Arduino IDE.
- Create the folder {sketchbook folder}/hardware. Where {sketchbook folder} is the location you noted in File > Preferences.
- Download http://www.alexan.com.ph/downloads/ACEduino_ATmega328_Mega2560_Patch_For_IDE_v1.5_Up.zip
- Unzip the downloaded file.
- Copy the folder Aceduino to {sketchbook folder}/hardware
- Start the Arduino IDE 1.8.5
- Try compiling your code again.
By the way, it looks to me like the company who makes the Aceduino really don't know what they're doing and you would be better off even with a cheap Chinese Uno clone. It always makes me sad to see these companies that try to cash in on the Arduino community without providing even close to level of support for their products that community members are giving for free in our open source projects. This is not complex stuff. It's quite simple and well documented so the only reason for this is that they just don't care about their customers.
