Hi Armin,
1. The file I used from Gary was an ino file. (he also sent along a hex file, but I couldn't get ArduinoBuilder to work)
2. I originally used the zip file from Github - this file contained several ino files - I didn't (don't) know how to compile them altogether to create one compiled file to upload to the Arduino.
3. I am using Arduino IDE on three different machines.
issue with the mac - I would get a "failed to upload" message. This seems to be a port assignment issue.
issue with the win10 machine - I would get a "failed to upload" message. Again this seems to be a port assignment issue, but I didn't spend the time to try and resolve the issue.
Win 7 machine ran without issue after I properly assigned the port.
I couldn't get Arduino Builder to work on the Mac again I suspect a port assignment issue as within the port pull down menu there were no ports to assign.
My most pressing questions are: 1. how to assign the port on the Mac and 2. how do I compile the several files included in the zip file from GitHub into one combined file for upload.
Thanks for you help,
73, Dennis
