Hi,
I am working on a lab course for physics students at the University of Maryland. Megulink looks like a nice way to encourage students to set up a useful interface for production work in physics experiments.

However, the current Arduino IDE is 2.1.0, and the trial version of MegunoLink I have says is only can handle 1.8 to 2.0. Do you expect to have a version that works with 2.1.0 soon? Of course I could downgrade the idl, but that doesn't seem sustainable.

Hi, this will be fixed for AVR microcontrollers in the current update. Its also important to note this only works for AVR microcontrollers and is actually an optional feature. It just adds the convenience of not having to disconnect from a COM port before uploading firmware. You can of course manually disconnect before uploading and everything will work fine.

Cheers
Phil

I am running Arduino 2.1.1 and was running with the trial version. I just purchased Megunolink and it is working with that as well.
