Nov 7, 2019 at 10:31 comment added Danny i have literally just got it working by switching over to my mac and uploading it using the terminal. (i tried it on my PC but the command kept being refused because windows cant handle spaces in a command, was drivingme nuts!) - thanks for all the help!
Nov 7, 2019 at 10:17 comment added Juraj the AVR core version is independent from IDE version. 1.8.1 is the latest AVR core and it is bundled with IDE 1.8.10. it is possible, you have one AVR core installation in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr and other in Arduino15 folder
Nov 7, 2019 at 10:13 comment added Danny hi i really appreciate this help by the way but am still having trouble. i tried editing the file but it had no effect (still uploading the hex file from the temp directory. i noticed that the platform.txt file was in a folder called 1.8.1 and the version of arduino i am running is 1.8.9 so i thought maybe i am editing the wrong document. so i removed the file from the folder, restarted arduino and tried uploading, expecting an error or something and it acted normally which makes me think that its not paying any attention to this file....?
Nov 6, 2019 at 16:26 comment added Juraj something like packages/arduino/hardware/avr/1.6.21
Nov 6, 2019 at 16:06 comment added Danny yeah theres no txt file in there, just folder containing arduino cores i have installed...(i am on windows 10
Nov 6, 2019 at 15:30 comment added Juraj it depends if it is the core bundled with IDE, then in IDE installation folder, or if it was installed with Boards Manager then packages are located in ~/.arduino15/packages/ on Linux and %userprofile%\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\ on Windows (AppData is a hidden folder).
Nov 6, 2019 at 15:08 comment added Danny Hi thanks very much for this. where can i find platform.txt?
