Add MySensor board on macOS
-
Hello,
I'm using a Macbook (2015) running HighSierra (with latest updates). After installing the Arduino IDE (1.8.5) I can communicate with a Sensebender. I don't know how to add the board definitions for it and MySensors GW. On a W7 machine I can locate a boards.txt in the hardware directory, but none of suchs on the Macbook. The Arduino website has loads of guidance for Windows, but extreme little for Mac's. When I download ArduinoBoards-master, Safari unpacks in the Downloads directory... I've tried to make a hardware directory under Arduino, but that gets ignored. What is it that I'm missing here? Any suggestions? -

Please follow the guide here to add the board:https://github.com/mysensors/ArduinoBoards
I have Macbook and I successfully added Sensebender GW/Micro boards

@alexsh1 I did add the link in the preference page, but didn't add the board after that. Thanks alexsh1!
@gerrit_jan just read on "Board Add-Ons with Arduino Board Manager" from here: https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/installing-arduino-ide
This is a detailed guide, but in two words after adding the link, you have to go to the board section and manually download MySensors boards (one for AVR (Sensebender Micro) and one for SAMD (Sensebender GW))
