Port is OK, Cant select board. arduinoPath issue. #7

Looks like nice software, I think the "getting started" needs more instructions though on the arduinoPath variable.

I open the config.properties and replace arduinoPath=arduino-1.7.8/ with my arduino path: arduinoPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\

I connect my arduino and I can use the arduino IDE, no problem. Connection is fine (port 6)

BUT, with Mixly, I can select port 6, but cannot select the board, arduino uno. The board selection area is completly black. When I hit "compile" a message blinks on and off so fast it is impossible to read. When I hit "upload" I get upload failed.

I am pretty sure the problem is how I have specified the arduinoPath. I put the directory path to where my arduino.exe file is located. Is that right? But the file path doesn't like like the default arduino-1.7.8/. How can you even have arduino-1.7.8 ?? The latest release is arduino 1.6.x .

Can you please check and explain how to enter the arduinoPath variable? Thank you, Andrew rawjmail1@gmail.com

You can download full version in this url. http://pan.baidu.com/s/1dE3Z6db You must delete ord arduino ide ,or else mixly can't work well for wrong arduino config.
