New hardware from sketchbook folder

When I add some new hardware in Arduino sketchbook folder, it is not visible in VisualMicro.
e.g. see this page for using arduino and attiny45/85:

Undecided

I also see this issue - I have a number of boards defined in the sketches folder, they all appear in the Arduino IDE but not in the board dropdown list.

Yes. As John C also noticed.

mybruk. thanks for the link.

Okay vm needs a slight update. It is only looking for a new boards.txt in the sketchfolder/hardware/arduino folder.

I'll add this in to the next update and then I hope you will test.

Thanks again for the reports

We have added correct support for different cores other than arduino. This applies to both the exe/hardware folder and also sketchbook/hardware folder.

I notice that arduino 1.0.1 fails to compile the tiny sketch code because it expects arduino.h when the core you pointed me too contains the old arduino 0023 and earlier wprogram.h

Maybe there is an updated version of the tiny stuff you can point me to?

Anyway, I have altered vm so that it looks to see which type of arduino header file is present in a core. 

This allows us to compile cores from 0023 with arduino 1.0+

Hopefully a new release for you to test will be available over the next few days

Released in 1208.19, please test if it works. I just realised that I only tested new hardware under the arduino ide hardware folder.

Thanks
