I have Arduino v1.6.6 installed on my computer already. Isn’t AvrDude already included with Arduino?
Here is the error I get: ‘avrdude’ is not reconized as an internal or exernal command, operable program or batch file.
Can someone help? I really don’t want to mess up the Arduino IDE by trying to install Avrdude.
I forgot to mention that my computer uses Windows 10, if that matters.
Yes, avrdude is installed as part of the Arduino IDE. How are you trying to run it? If from a command line in a different directory, you will need to add the avrdude directory to your PATH.
If the message is coming as a result of running from the IDE then either there is some interaction with Windows 10 (I haven’t tried it.) or your install has become corrupted. I think a first step would be to un/re install Arduino again. Alternatively, you could chase down the location of avrdude.exe just to see that it’s there and permissions are correct.
On my machine (Windows 7) you can find it at C:/Program Files/Arduino/hardware/tools/avr/bin/avrdude.exe
Good luck,
I do not work for SparkFun.
Thanks so much. I forgot to add it to my PATH variable. It works fine now.
