How to add Sensebender Micro to IDE boards list?

[ikkeT]

Hi,

how to get Sensebender Micro to Arduino IDE's boards list? This guide page is outdated: https://www.mysensors.org/hardware/micro-ide-setup

I have Arduino IDE 1.6.4 in Fedora 24 Linux, and I've used the library manager to download the MySensors libraries. The Sensebender Micro board does not show up in boards list, nor does any MySensors related stuff in boards manager.

How should the programming be done? I have FTDI programmer connected to board, and I can see it prints out error messages from sending data. Occationally it succeeds according to printouts. So HW should be OK, I just don't know the method to add board to IDE, please help.

BR,

Yes, it's outdated and I will update it soon.

You should follow the following instructions:

@hek thanks, that did it. To be precise, one should go to IDE preferences, and at the bottom of the dialog add the following URL into "Additional boards managers URLs:" field and hit OK:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mysensors/ArduinoBoards/master/package_mysensors.org_index.json

Editing the /usr/share/arduino/dist/package_index.json file does no good, as it will break the signature of the file.
