The Arduino IDE i downloaded from the link in http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/connecting doesn\'t prompt me to connect the digispark after uploading using the \'start\' example. I have the board set to Digispark (MIT High-Low method) and the programmer set to Digispark.

Shawn - that\'s strange - Win or Mac?
What does it say in the bottom black box with orange text after you hit upload?

If this was on windows I have been able to duplicate the issue on one of my older machines (the shipping computer actually) - I\'m working on it now and will post a fix soon. Thanks for your patience!

Here is the immediate fix for this windows issue:

Grab this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/digispark/avrdude.exe
Copy and overwrite the existing version in the arduino directory/hardware/tools/avr/bin/

I\'m uploading a whole new IDE download now, it will be available shortly.

This only involves windows machines.

@everyone
The new version with the fix integrated is up: http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/connecting

If you downloaded before 7PM PST on the 19th upgrade, if you downloaded after that this bug should not be an issue.

Erik,

Thanks for the update .. I though I was going crazy with this one.. either that or it was was a Windows 8 error. I was going to drive to my lab and randomly plug digisparks into machines with different versions of windows.

Thanks,
Casey

we forgot to static link some libraries - that was the issue, and the arduino IDE doesn\'t pass errors through - glad it worked!

I\'m having a similar problem with the OS X client:

Binary sketch size: 818 bytes (of a 6,041 byte maximum)
Running Digispark Uploader...
Plug in device now...
dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libusb-0.1.4.dylib

dmcinnes - have you ever used Ardino on the machine with regular arduino boards?

digistump · « **Reply #10 on:** December 19, 2012, 10:19:57 pm »

Also what version of os x?

dmcinnes · « **Reply #11 on:** December 19, 2012, 10:43:28 pm »

I\'m on 10.7.5 -- I don\'t have an /opt directory, looks like you guys are dynamically loading a macports installed libusb?
I have used the Arduino software before, but the older version (1.0.1) for programming ATtiny85 chips with this library:

digistump · « **Reply #12 on:** December 19, 2012, 11:11:00 pm »

you are correct it was dynamically linked - I\'m going to reboot into os x in a few and create a static linked version
I\'ll upload it here and let you know as soon as it is ready.

@dmcinnes - check out the latest build at digistump.com/wiki under connecting your digispark - let me know if it works - thanks!

Erik,

Are you keeping a changelog on the the IDE uploads?
