Some weeks ago I stumbled upon Digispark, it'd be used as a USB-Tiny85, nice idea so I ordered a couple.
They arrived yesterday, today I tried a little bit.
At least I found the drivers at github, after installed the boards were recognized, fine indeed.
The hardware stuff was packed under C:User..Documents\Arduino... to all my other ATTiny stuff like core13 and so on.
The IDE shows it up, compilation funcs. Nice.
Uploading not. Errors..errors...not fine.
Then I found the option 'micronucleus' within programmers, so I did an 'upload with programmer'.
UNfortunately something runs wrong, I have no idea:
Error while uploading: missing 'program.params.quiet' configuration parameter

At the moment programming ATTiny85 with Arduino IDE and USBASP is much more easier for me ;)

Quite a shock to have 1.6 release and then in about a month have 1.6.1 out.   I don't have Pro's on hand to worry about - but wondering if the changes from 1.5.8 were small enough that the Digistump package works on top of 1.6.1?

I learned that the sketchbook location must not have an installation of Arduino libraries proper in/under it.  This may relate to the issue youa re seeing.

Arduino has a libraries directory it treats specially and the Digistump libraries are a subset of that installed so that the hardware type is known to be properly included when needed.  If your sketchbook directory is pointed to 'above' that or those libraries then the IDE can do the wrong thing.

By design you will get a Libraries folder in your sketchbook folder, but that is just for the few add on libraries you find elsewhere.

If your sketchbook folder contains Arduino or Digistump libraries - or a copy of the same libraries - they are included in the scan the IDE does only when it starts, and those libraries can be used wrongly as they don't get treated the same with regard to 'platform type'.

I learned this on a new platform recently and put my sketchbook folder on a different drive or isolated outside my Arduino directory, and here I would allow Digistump directories to be only in the Arduino tree where they are installed by setup, and make sure sketchbook location does not include that directory under it.
