Arduino 1.6.4 Digispark newbie

[rich00]

Hi all,

I just  received my digispark and trying upload the blink sketch and get the following error.
I'm using a usb 2.0 hub and on arduino IDE 1.6.4.

I have the ATTINY board seleceted and Processor attiny 85 selected clock set at 16 MHZ external. The port is greyed out. ANy ideas ?

I can get an UNO and a micro connected and sketches uploaded ok but not a digisaprk.

It shows uploading with the below error.

Sketch uses 790 bytes (9%) of program storage space. Maximum is 8,192 bytes.
Global variables use 9 bytes of dynamic memory.
java.lang.NullPointerException

If you haven't already, you need to install the new integration files:

  https://github.com/digistump/DigistumpArduino

And make sure you choose "micronucleus" as your Programmer.

I never was successful with Digistump/Digigispark hardware addons.
I switched to an alternative, full explanation here -> http://highlowtech.org/?p=1695

I'm using https://github.com/damellis/attiny/tree/ide-1.6.x

Naked Attiny85/Digispark plus OLED via I2C are working like a charme... love it!
