sorry for bad English using online translator.
After you upgrade the Arduino IDE to version 1.6.11 in Arduino Boards Manager lost selection of boards available. Rescan and Reinstalling Visual Studio, Visual Micro, Arduino IDE does not give any results. What to do?

Hi,

Strange one.

1) Did you try to restart the ide?

2) Did you run the arduino ide one time?

3) If problem continues please rename folder c:\user\[your name]\appdata\local\arduino15, start arduino ide once then start Visual Studio. If that works I would appreciate seeing a zip of all files in the renamed c:\user\[your name]\appdata\local\arduino15

Thanks

Hi, 
I deleted the file preferences.txt in the folder c:\user\[your name]\appdata\local\arduino15, start Arduino IDE and the problem disappeared. 
Thanks

Thanks

Do you have a copy of the preferences you deleted?

What version of arduino were you on before 1.6.11?

Before ide 1.6.11 was  1.6.10. Again had the same problem, but I seem to have found the cause. In preferences I changed the path to the folder where the hex file after compile - build.path=E:\Arduino\temp. Initially the path was written with Cyrillic, but in version 1.6.10, everything was fine. Now I changed it to E:\Arduino\temp and so far, everything works fine. I'll keep looking

I have a similar and just as strange issue with my setup. I have been running just fine with Arduino 1.69 and just this past week suddenly get the 'o boards, please configure ide' error. After updating VM to latest and 1.69 to 1.611 still no luck. I will look at the preferences.txt file when I get home. Now here comes the weird part, If I select a different ide type instead of Arduino 1.6- use Energia 1.6 in the configuration tool, It works!! What happened? I thought Energia was distinctly unique to TI or Lilypad micros or is there an effort to consolidate everything into a class of micros without regard to manufacturer?? How do I get it to list under Arduino 1.6 again?

Hi,

Opening the Board Manager in the Arduino IDE can delete any .json files (packages) that it doesn't know about. 

Opening visual studio then the visual micro board manager should put them back. Restart the VS ide to be sure of a clean load.

If that doesn't solve then try the following to determine where the problem lies

Rename the preferences.txt in c:\users\yourname\appdata\local\arduino15 to something like preferences.old

Run the arduino ide at least once

Then start VS with visual micro

If that doesn't fix the issue then rename the packages folder in the folder mentioned above and restart to see if the issue is renamed. Rename to anything such as packagesx

Also confirm the list of .json files that appears in the bottom textbox of the "Ide locations configuration" window.

Thanks

ps: The arduino15 folder is the difference between Engeria and Arduino IDE. If I recall Energia uses Energia15
