The avrdude output doesn't show for waspmote devices because of the error returned by avrdude.

Below we can see the "Yikes!" error Smiley 

I don't know enough to be sure this error can be ignored however it is certainly the reason why vm shows the "Wrong Micro-controller error"

If you compile with waspmote verbose what does it show? Thanks

Code

avrdude done.  Thank you.

I had to cut most of the send/recv stuff so the text fits in here...

Funny, So we need a config setting to prevent us reporting "Yikes!" as an error  Smiley

Device signature = 0x000000
Yikes!  Invalid device signature.

Seriously though, thanks for checking this. If you agree the waspmote ide output matches Visual Micro then it does seem to indicate that you have a correct compile and upload.

I guess we just need a config property that ignores the incorrect board error 

So as a reminder for me we need something like these for our master waspmote override/config

Code
Select All
waspmote.ide.exe=waspmote.exe
waspmote.upload.report.hardware_signature.ignore=1
waspmote.programmer.stk500.alias=stk500v1

waspmote.upload.tool=avrdude
waspmote.tools.avrdude.upload.params.verbose=-v -v -v -v
waspmote.tools.avrdude.upload.params.quiet=-q -q
waspmote.tools.avrdude.upload.pattern="{cmd.path}" "-C{config.path}" {upload.verbose} -F -p{build.mcu} -c{upload.protocol} -P{serial.port} -b{upload.speed} -D "-Uflash:w:{build.path}/{build.project_name}.hex:i"

Thanks, the include can already be set in the platform.txt or applications.txt in version 1308.04 +

The exe name can also be set in the latest builds so I think we are very close to a full solution.

I have been giving some thought to the invalid info returned by the waspmote avrdude. It might be that waspmote is offered as a downloadable option via visualmicro.com. When they fix the error then we could include it as standard
