Arduino Mac Library Folder
At the end of this tutorial, we have discovered a new way to use Arduino based on Arduino-cli that is a command line interface app. Using Arduino-cli it is possible to use our favorite code editor and compile and run the code using Aduino tools. During this tutorial, we have seen how to use the Arduino-cli to compile and run the sketch. Finally, navigate to and select the Uno's driver file, named 'ArduinoUNO.inf', located in the 'Drivers' folder of the Arduino Software download (not the 'FTDI USB Drivers' sub-directory). If you cannot see the.inf file, it is probably just hidden. You can select the 'drivers' folder with the 'search sub-folders' option selected instead. SI4735 Arduino Library Features This library uses the I²C communication protocol and implements most of the functions offered by Si47XX (BROADCAST AM / FM / SW / LW RADIO RECEIVER) IC family from Silicon Labs. This library also has primitive functions that make it easier for you to implement commands that may not have been implemented yet. To add your own library, create a new directory in the libraries directory with the name of your library. The folder should contain a C or C file with your code and a header file with your function and variable declarations. It will then appear in the Sketch Import Library menu in the Arduino IDE. To remove a library, stop the Arduino IDE. Drag it to your Libraries Folder Open your sketchbook Libraries folder and drag the master folder from Downloads into it. Give it a Legal Name The IDE will not recognize folders with dashes in the name. Deleting the data folder can often solve problems with the Arduino IDE not starting or failing compilation in unexpected ways. Look for the data folder Arduino15 (depending on OS) which is usually hidden and delete it.
You can use a normal AVR ISP programmer to upload Arduino sketches to an Arduino board or to an AVR microcontroller in your own circuit, such as ATmega328P, ATmega8 or ATmega2561, but first you need to know how to find the hex files that the programmer needs. The Arduino IDE makes this as hard as possible for some reason. This post shows you how to find them and also how to make Arduino put them in an easier place to find in future.
Any ISP will need what Arduino calls output binaries and the rest of the world calls HEX files. These are produced when you Verify/Compile your sketch and contain the data the AVR microcontroller needs to run. The Arduino IDE creates them in temporary folders in your user libraries or /tmp folders on MAC, with a typical path like this
C:Documents and Settingsyour_usernameLocal SettingsTempbuild3526495849735274299.tmp.
This changes with every build, which makes it really difficult to locate them, especially the most recent version. A better way is to change the Build Path in Arduino so it puts them somewhere sensible.
Run Arduino IDE and choose File -> Preferences. This dialog box will appear,
Switch on Show Verbose Output During Compilation so we can see what is going on. This may be useful later and can always be switched off again. At the bottom is a path to your preferences.txt file that we are going to edit. This path is different on different Operating Systems and in some cases may be hidden by your system. If you can’t find this path in Explorer, try Organise -> Folder and Search Options -> View Tab and select Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Once you have found preferences.txt file, close your Arduino IDE and open this file in a text editor like Notepad. Add a build path anywhere in the file. Here is an example but select your own preferred folder location.
build.path=C:Myproject
Important Note: You must create this empty folder yourself now as Arduino won’t and will give errors.
Save the file and reopen Arduino and Verify/Compile your sketch again. This time the output files we need should always appear in the folder you have added to preferences.txt. This path should also appear towards the end of the Arduino output window after a successful compile.
If everything has gone right, your folder should be full of output files, mostly with .o and .d extensions. These are used by linker and can be ignored. The important files will be these, where the sketch is called Blink1.ino, so look for your own sketch name –
- blink1.ino.cpp – output C file, actually C++
- blink1.ino.elf – output file for a debugger
- blink1.ino.eep – EEPROM file for programmer
- blink1.ino.hex – flash (code) file for programmer
The C file (.cpp) and Elf file (.elf) can be used in AVR Studio development environment if you want to move away from just using Arduino IDE. We will cover this in a later post. The important files for the programmer are the .Hex and .EEP files. If you have used Arduino’s EEPROM library to add data to the AVR’s internal EEPROM, then it will be in the .EEP file, otherwise this file will still exist but it will be empty.
All that effort but we now have the .hex file that is required if we want to use a normal AVR ISP. The benefit of this approach is that now every time we change and rebuild our sketch, the location of the output hex file won’t change unlike the default Arduino behaviour.
Now we can locate the Hex file, we can look at how to use an AVR ISP like Kanda USB AVR ISP Programmer to program an AVR microcontroller.
Unlike the software developed for Windows system, most of the applications installed in Mac OS X generally can be removed with relative ease. Arduino 1.6.4 is a third party application that provides additional functionality to OS X system and enjoys a popularity among Mac users. However, instead of installing it by dragging its icon to the Application folder, uninstalling Arduino 1.6.4 may need you to do more than a simple drag-and-drop to the Trash.
Download Mac App RemoverWhen installed, Arduino 1.6.4 creates files in several locations. Generally, its additional files, such as preference files and application support files, still remains on the hard drive after you delete Arduino 1.6.4 from the Application folder, in case that the next time you decide to reinstall it, the settings of this program still be kept. But if you are trying to uninstall Arduino 1.6.4 in full and free up your disk space, removing all its components is highly necessary. Continue reading this article to learn about the proper methods for uninstalling Arduino 1.6.4.
Manually uninstall Arduino 1.6.4 step by step:
Visual basic games. Most applications in Mac OS X are bundles that contain all, or at least most, of the files needed to run the application, that is to say, they are self-contained. Thus, different from the program uninstall method of using the control panel in Windows, Mac users can easily drag any unwanted application to the Trash and then the removal process is started. Despite that, you should also be aware that removing an unbundled application by moving it into the Trash leave behind some of its components on your Mac. To fully get rid of Arduino 1.6.4 from your Mac, you can manually follow these steps:
1. Terminate Arduino 1.6.4 process(es) via Activity Monitor
Before uninstalling Arduino 1.6.4, you’d better quit this application and end all its processes. If Arduino 1.6.4 is frozen, you can press Cmd +Opt + Esc, select Arduino 1.6.4 in the pop-up windows and click Force Quit to quit this program (this shortcut for force quit works for the application that appears but not for its hidden processes).
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder in Launchpad, and select All Processes on the drop-down menu at the top of the window. Select the process(es) associated with Arduino 1.6.4 in the list, click Quit Process icon in the left corner of the window, and click Quit in the pop-up dialog box (if that doesn’t work, then try Force Quit).
2. Delete Arduino 1.6.4 application using the Trash
First of all, make sure to log into your Mac with an administrator account, or you will be asked for a password when you try to delete something.
Open the Applications folder in the Finder (if it doesn’t appear in the sidebar, go to the Menu Bar, open the “Go” menu, and select Applications in the list), search for Arduino 1.6.4 application by typing its name in the search field, and then drag it to the Trash (in the dock) to begin the uninstall process. Alternatively you can also click on the Arduino 1.6.4 icon/folder and move it to the Trash by pressing Cmd + Del or choosing the File and Move to Trash commands.
For the applications that are installed from the App Store, you can simply go to the Launchpad, search for the application, click and hold its icon with your mouse button (or hold down the Option key), then the icon will wiggle and show the “X” in its left upper corner. Click the “X” and click Delete in the confirmation dialog.

3. Remove all components related to Arduino 1.6.4 in Finder
Though Arduino 1.6.4 has been deleted to the Trash, its lingering files, logs, caches and other miscellaneous contents may stay on the hard disk. For complete removal of Arduino 1.6.4, you can manually detect and clean out all components associated with this application. You can search for the relevant names using Spotlight. Those preference files of Arduino 1.6.4 can be found in the Preferences folder within your user’s library folder (~/Library/Preferences) or the system-wide Library located at the root of the system volume (/Library/Preferences/), while the support files are located in '~/Library/Application Support/' or '/Library/Application Support/'.
Open the Finder, go to the Menu Bar, open the “Go” menu, select the entry: Go to Folder.. and then enter the path of the Application Support folder:~/Library
Search for any files or folders with the program’s name or developer’s name in the ~/Library/Preferences/, ~/Library/Application Support/ and ~/Library/Caches/ folders. Right click on those items and click Move to Trash to delete them.
Meanwhile, search for the following locations to delete associated items:
- /Library/Preferences/
- /Library/Application Support/
- /Library/Caches/
Besides, there may be some kernel extensions or hidden files that are not obvious to find. In that case, you can do a Google search about the components for Arduino 1.6.4. Usually kernel extensions are located in in /System/Library/Extensions and end with the extension .kext, while hidden files are mostly located in your home folder. You can use Terminal (inside Applications/Utilities) to list the contents of the directory in question and delete the offending item.
4. Empty the Trash to fully remove Arduino 1.6.4
If you are determined to delete Arduino 1.6.4 permanently, the last thing you need to do is emptying the Trash. To completely empty your trash can, you can right click on the Trash in the dock and choose Empty Trash, or simply choose Empty Trash under the Finder menu (Notice: you can not undo this act, so make sure that you haven’t mistakenly deleted anything before doing this act. If you change your mind, before emptying the Trash, you can right click on the items in the Trash and choose Put Back in the list). In case you cannot empty the Trash, reboot your Mac.

Tips for the app with default uninstall utility:
You may not notice that, there are a few of Mac applications that come with dedicated uninstallation programs. Though the method mentioned above can solve the most app uninstall problems, you can still go for its installation disk or the application folder or package to check if the app has its own uninstaller first. If so, just run such an app and follow the prompts to uninstall properly. After that, search for related files to make sure if the app and its additional files are fully deleted from your Mac.
