I needed to know how to update my IDE to 1.6.2 so I could have include library and manage libraries, and finally  after 7 minutes I learned 2 things: go to arduino.cc rather than arduino.com and second, download the Linux Arm Experimental for Raspberry Pi rather than the other 2 choices. Very good and I thank you. Then I heard you say unzipping was best done by using the command line, and from then on I couldn't keep listening because you had so much to say about everything under the sun. However- I'm not a complete ingrate. I thank you for the 3 nuggets I managed to pay attention long enough to get and that I didn't find anywhere else.

Ah I made it though without getting confused or overloaded with details. Thanks for keeping it short! A little Tony goes a long way.

Thanks Tony!

I had the arduino package installed that was in the Raspbian repository (using apt-get). This didn't have the feature for third party boards, so I removed that and installed using your approach. BAM! Done!

I did run the install.sh script. It gave lots of "No such file or directory" errors, but it installed a working icon on the Desktop and on the menu under "Electronics" .. No problem, no drama!

I do have a few weird things to work out:
1. my /dev owner is root:tty
2. saving a variant of "blink" said it was read-only

The tar command dropped everything in the Downloads/arduino-1.6.9 folder... that wouldn't be my first choice! LOL

Thank you for another great video. Really enjoyed setting it up :-)

please make a video on how to run python program automatic after power on

Question! I am trying to figure out how to create something I think is not too crazy, but I am not having much luck figuring it out. You seem to know A LOT, and I would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction. I'm just looking for a photo-camera (I care about the still-image resolution, not the video), attached to a small computer that can be wired to a network and powered. I want to be able to tell the camera when to take a picture through a network and to immediately capture the image from the camera. I don't know what parts we need, but I'm hoping you can point me in the right direction! This is for a small start-up, and we are needing some help figuring out this hardware!

So I have an RV I want to display battery voltage, amerage draw, solar production, etc. I would like to pass the analog collection from the Arduino to a Raspberry Pi for the GUI definition over a small LCD panel. Is there a good "display" available to pull the inputs from the Arduino to the Raspberry Pi?

Someone had a .deb package for Arm V6 of version 1.6.5 on Dropbox that you could find by going through a long forum thread on arduino.cc. I used that version with a mix of B+ and Pi2s at a science camp last summer, but they were just tweaking settings on demo sketches for neopixel hats. It's great you can get the current version.

[andrewbergspage]

you should use neopixels for your video lighting so that you can light your face with green leds to enter ghost mode!

[TackleTheWorld]

I got drama: avrdude: Warning: cannot open USB device: Permission denied. Perhaps it was a mistake to try it with a Pi2.
Tried a udev rule: KERNEL=="ttyAMA0", GROUP="dialout" but that didn't change anything. :(

[bryanhickman]

Tony, I tried running the Install.sh. It works great too, and did add the icon to the Pi3 Raspbian desktop just fine running Jessie. It did take 3 or 4 tries to get the ESP8266 boards manager to load and save.

[MrVasile]

Not to pee on the parade here, but I've been installing the Arduino IDE on the RPi for months now by just typing:

sudo aptget install ardunio

Maybe this is an unofficial, unsupported, buggy version? In any case, never had a problem with it.

i thought, i heard a cat in my house. :p
