Installation
HID-Project only works with the new Arduino IDE 1.6 or newer.
For version 2.4 IDE 1.6.6 with this PR is required. v2.4 is now a library, not a Hardware definition file. Install the zip file as normal library. V2.4 can be found in the dev branch.
For Arduino Micro/Leonardo ignore this step.
For Arduino Uno/Mega first install HoodLoader2 on your 16u2 + the needed software files. Make sure your HoodLoader2 software is up to date when you also update the HID-Project files. HoodLoader1 is only supported for legacy.
#####a) Installation via Boards Manager
- Add the HID Boards Manager URL:
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NicoHood/HID/master/package_NicoHood_HID_index.json
- to File > Preferences > Additional Boards Manager URLs:
- Then open: Tools > Board > Boards Manager, wait for the json index file to download, and there it is!
- See this Adafruit tutorial for more information.
#####b) Manual Installation Installation has changed over the time. You don't have to modify the original core any more.
Ensure that under 'File->Preferences' the correct sketchbook folder is selected.
Put all files into sketchbook/hardware/HID/. You have to rename the folder HID-master to HID. Do not install the files as library since it's a hardware definition, not a library.
Your sketchbook folder should look like this:
Restart the IDE and read the how to use section.
