Upgrading Plugin and Libraries

[hek]

@BulldogLowell

Those links should work fine.

Double check the path where the Arduino libraries should be copied. Follow the guide how to locate library path on the page you linked.

I did that, got it in my Arduino folder, restarted the IDE, updated a device and it still shows old Lib Version.

I also downloaded and updated the latest Vera files.

So, must I recompile and upload the Gateway to show the updated version number in the the gateway and all the nodes?

[hek]

Yes, update both gateway and nodes. If you just updated one of the nodes (and not gateway) communication might be broken thus new version for node is not showing up.

hmmm... I updated the gateway, with the files I just downloaded and no luck.

Take a look at mine

I cannot understand what is happening here

Check the Version.h file of your downloaded library files and assure it contains the newer version before building/uploading the sketch.

Now I'm more perplexed.

I am going to try to recompile and upload the Gateway, again.

I've just built a new Ubuntu 1404 64 bit environment and installed the Arduino IDE 1.05 as per the instructions on Arduino Playground here.
I downloaded the Arduino libraries from the MySensors website and followed the guide unzipping into the sketchbook directory (/home/<myuser>/sketchbook) as detailed here.
After restarting the IDE I am presented with the attached error stating that there is a problem with the Arduino libraries, bad library name.

Has anyone else come across this error before?

I tried moving the Arduino-master folder in to the libraries folder

[hek]

Move the content of library folder inside "Arduino-master" into libraries.

Thanks Henk that worked.

OK, I've just uploaded the new plugin files to Vera and restarted, all appears to be working. The new format is now shown in the devices view.

I've hit a snag when trying to compile the serial gateway sketch where it's complaining about the avr/program.h file is missing.

avr/progmem.h: No such file or directory

I noticed the lib directory under Arduino-Master/AVR so I attempted to copy (merge and replace) this into the sketckbook/libraries folder. Unfortunately I'm getting two additional errors relating to the RF24 and SPI libraries.

In file included from /home/hp2540p/sketchbook/libraries/RF24/RF24.h:788:0,
from SerialGateway.ino:26:
/home/hp2540p/sketchbook/libraries/RF24/RF24.c:27:21: fatal error: spi/spi.h: No such file or directory
#include <spi/spi.h>

I'm not in a good place and need to understand the difference with these different library locations.

If others have felt my pain, how did you resolve this issue? HELP!

OK, I started from scratch by removing all library folders under the sketchbook directory and copying over from the Arduino-master/libraries folder.

Now I just see the avr/progmem.h file missing error.

SerialGateway.ino:31:25: fatal error: avr/progmem.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I noticed it is referenced to the avr directory relative to the base sketchbook directory so I searched through the entire Arduino-master folder structure and do not see this file.

Does this need to be downloaded separately from Github or have I missed a step somewhere?

I'm using Unbuntu 1404 with Arduino IDE 1.05+dfsg2-2.

I commented out the avr/progmem.h include line and it compiled correctly and appears to be working now plugged back into the Vera USB port.
