Title: Arduino applet folder
Post by: Joker94 on June 06, 2010, 02:15:03 AM

Hi guys

i have been working on the code using Madsci's lib and test code. It has compliled well and i have clicked the upload button, no applet folder has been created.

Does any one know what to do or how to get one so i can get the hex file.

thanks

I have resorted to using 0015 and earlier which does create the hex file, i also cant find where the newer versions put it  :-\

I think for semi new versions like 17, you need to hit the download button in order to genrate the hex.

Just found this in release notes:

Quote

* Moving build (on upload) from the applet/ sub-folder of the sketch
  to a temporary directory (fixing problems with uploading examples from
  within the Mac OS X disk image or a Linux application directory).

so it looks like you might be out of luck, unless you can find that temp location.

Like usual, Macs and Linux are messing things up for us normal people.  :P

You got that right :D

Well i don't know what is going on. I have been able to generate a hex file numerous times using arduino 17. i have tried 17 and it still doesn't work. I'll have another look tonight and see what i can find.

Cheers

Joker,

I remember I read about this on the Arduino Forum. They have modded the preferences.txt file in version 18 to include something like build=application folder (not sure exactly how it is, but that is the idea). Since you have version 18 installed, your preferences.txt file was re-written by that version, but it wasn't replaced when you ran your old version. To fix this, find your preferences.txt file and delete it. Then run version 17 that will replace it with the correct one and you'll have your applet folder back in the project folder. You need to do this every time you run version 18 and then you want to go back to 17 or older.

In win7, my preferences.txt file is located in C:\Users\Gabi\AppData\Roaming\Arduino folder.
