I'm trying to locate avrdude on my mac. Being unfamiliar with mac osx, I just don't know where to look for. I have arduino 1.6.5 r5. I'm trying to python to automate .hex file upload, FYI. Thanks.
What I like to do is set in IDE preferences show verbose output on upload, then when you upload something it will show the full path and all the options you should use. Then you can just save the command line and make minor changes.
/Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude
Or something like that.
Great! Thanks. The mac is not mine (college) and is having some stability issues. Everything is frozen more or less but I'd rather not log out or restart. Every time I did it, I had to reset the "bios". Once I get avrdude, I'll just test my script with it and copy it to a dropbox folder.
So far I have windows, linux 64-bit, and raspberry pi (arm linux 32-bit) all working with my upload python script. Mac is the last one on the list.
Just curious, does anyone have python 3.5 on macs? Last few times I tried to install it always failed and the error message was truncated so I couldn't make out the complete error. I'm running 3.4.
Got the files in the arduino download zip file. It seems that this one also has a shell script named avrdude and with avrdude renamed to avrdude_bin, just like the linux version.
