I also use this everyday. Your efforts are very appreciated!

Ok resolved the features file issue by copying it from a windows build (I found an older thread where Roberto explained the IDE customization which is pretty critical!). All is well now, compiling, and updating my test mega with RA* code. Will move over and install in place, bridge the serial to net...

I also can compile the arm version of the IDE and can compile code for the RA boards. I had to do some extraction from the MAC build to get the boards/firmwares/variants correct, but all appears well. I have an issue where the IDE is unable to find the features.txt file, but the error appears to be ...

It actually does support ARM. Official IDE is downloadable and its a simple build.xml modification to include the arm platform for compile. https://crimier.wordpress.com/2015/06/13/compiling-the-latest-arduino-ide-for-raspberry-pi/ I was working on a parallel compile process as your other Sierra thr...

Can you also do an arm build?

Also would shielding the cables could help from spurious noise on longer cables? (poor man's solution would be wrapping tun foil around the cable as a test)

So in the scenario where a dimmer expansion is causing bus locks, looking into the schematic there is a 10k pair of pullup resistors on the bus, plus 2.2k's on the expansion hub. If the module is causing a bus lock options are 1. determine the source of corrosion adding to the bus resistance ( ie 10...

Additionally spraying the pcb's with a protective coating (like a spray urethane/varnish) to protect from internal corrosion. Roberto - after all the years of Bus lock issues are the common trends connections and corrosion or does it ever boil down to hardware issues (component tolerances or failure...

Would filling the USB ports with dielectric grease help mitigate issues with corrosion causing bus locking? Haven't thought through the marine/reef safe issues but it seems like a simple preventative option.

Can the eagle files be uploaded to the website for the star as well as the other missing modules? Looking forward to reviewing them. Thanks!
