Odd extension names on hex files stopping uploading

Below is the error reported from the uploader using the latest version of the Visual Micro with VS 2015.

For some reason the system is trying to open the file with a double extension ".INO.HEX". the ".HEX" is there and the correct compilation but not the file the uploader is looking for. Any idea what could be causing this and how to fix it please.

Cheers Pete.

avrdude: can't open input file KII.ino.hex: No such file or directory

Hi,

Arduino.cc changes the guide lines during the past few months. So the file is now called project_name.ino.hex. Visual micro has been updated within the past few releases but maybe you have a combination that hasn't been catered for yet.

So please give the following info

Visual micro version
Arduino ide version
Hardware/Board name
Type of upload (serial/programmer)

A verbose output for the upload would also be useful.

Thanks

Hi,

Is Arduino 1.2.6 a clone ide? Can give url to download please

Is the mighty a standard board in 1.2.6 or did you install from git or web?

Thanks

Hi Tim,

I don't think it is the IDE that is causing the problems. Perhaps it is the Mighty 1284 device target files.

This i say because other MCUs seem to compile and upload OK

I have attached the Mighty1284 files for you

Cheers Pete.

The problem was that when I converted to the new arduino naming convention (a few weeks ago) I missed some older arduino 1.0x format commands (which are hard coded because that is how things used to work back sometime before 2012/13)

The hardware defs you are using use the old system.

Thanks for the report.
