Now that I've updated to IDE 1.6.6, I can no longer get the bootloader to work. The boot loader files are not longer being detected in the hardware folder.
I downloaded the files for the new IDE found at this link:
The files did not work.
I've already been to this topic, but it hasn't been updated in a really long time, and the solutions no longer work:
http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=308347.0
and http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=302659.0
Could someone please help? I'm trying to do a small production run to make gifts for friends and family for the holidays. But If I cannot get this working in time I cannot get the gifts out.
Notes:
I would downgrade to a lower IDE that works, but I also want to work with the ESP8266 and that only works with the newer versions of the IDE.
I don't understand why they would post a file that doesn't work on the official page of the bootloader tutorial.
