OpenSprinkler and Arduino IDE on a Mac

[JeffM]

Hi,

Has anyone been able to successfully setup the OpenSprinkler board.txt in the Arduino IDE 0023 or 1.0.3 and compile without errors?

I need your assistance how the files and sketches are setup under OSX 10.7.5.

I think the path’s and locations of the folders are my problem.

I have all sketches in : Documents>Arduino>(all sketches)
I have all libraries in : Documents>Arduino>libraries
I put the board.txt in : Documents>Arduino>hardware>arduino>OpenSprinkler>boards.txt

With the board.txt file installed I do see the OpenSprinkler listed in the Arduino IDE TOOLS>BOARDS>OPENSPRINKLER (first board listed)
But when I press VERIFY I get all kind of errors…….to many to list!
I know I will expect to get “Sketch to Big” according to Ray’s directions.
When I remove the boards.txt file path and select UNO board and verify (with edited file to reduce size) it compiles successfully 🙂
But selecting the UNO board setups incorrect ATMEGA328P settings.

I am trying not to go with plan “B” and install Linux on my Mac and learning a new OS to compile Arduino code.

Thank you in advance!

If you are trying to compile OpenSprinkler 1.x source code, right now the only option is to use the VirtualBox image which has the right version of avr-gcc and Linux installed. Please check the instructions for details:
