DigiSparks

DigiSparks

Once again eBay suggested I buy some DigiSparks. At the price suggested, it was worth a go. They are super for HID keyboard automation. I have needed to reflash the bootloader once or twice.

In the box labeled "Additional Boards Manager URLs" enter: http://digistump.com/package_digistump_index.json

I got this when using the board manager and Win10: "CRC error, file corrupted. Try to repeat later"

This helped. https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/issues/9719

I deleted C:\Users\doug\AppData\Local\Arduino15\library_index.json

When I next opened the IDE it seemed to have installed the new boards.

Another may be related problem. The iPhones would not take any updates and failed.

My ISP suggested I upgrade and it seemed to fixed the iPhone update issue.

My old ADSL2 router was replaced by a router that supported FTTC.

I installed DigiSpark into the Arduino IDE over the new router onto a new Windows computer with no issues.
