Hi everybody!
I´m trying to get eclipse setup for arduino development.
I followed instructions of the eclipse guide in the Playground. But it don´t work!
It seems that the compiling works fine but the uploading to the arduino via avrdude-plugin doesn´t work.
I spend already 2 days browsing through the whole internet but I didn´t get it working :frowning: :cry: >:(

Isn´t there any tutorial how to setup eclipse properly on a windows XP machine?

I realy hope that someone can help me! Otherwise I will crack up soon! [smiley=cheesy.gif]

Thank you in advance!!!!

Reset the board right before you click the "Upload" button in Eclipse.

I had a different problem. the avr plug in would not install ?

I can't tell you why that is, based on the information you have shared. What I'd do:

  • delete any Eclipse installations already present
  • download the latest version of the CDT Eclipse distribution
  • install it, run it, and then try to install the AVR plugin via the update site

The specific error that you get when trying to install the AVR plugin may also help diagnose the issue.
