Patch Files to Add gizDuino in Arduino IDE Board List Menu (Updated November 12, 2015)

Our recent additions of many Arduino compatibles controller board products is now causing a lot of confusion in the board selection during the Arduino IDE set up. It became essential for us to create a board list, a patch file if you will, so that our gizDuino (Arduino Compatible) lines could now appear as well in the Arduino IDE Tools>Board list.

The Arduino IDE bundled with gizDuino already had the software patch installed, hence you will now see gizDuino variants listed among the Arduino board list. If your current Arduino IDE installation does not shows the gizDuino lines, you can install the patch files yourself by following this simple procedure:


1. Download the latest Patch Files from e-gizmo.com:

gizDuino Patch 1.6.6
gizDuino Patch 1.5.x to 1.6.x
gizDuino Patch 1.0.6 below

2. Decompress the patch file. Look for the gizduino- folder.

3. Copy the whole gizduino- folder inside the “hardware” folder of your Arduino IDE installation directory.

And don't forget to install the latest version of Prolific driver PL2303 Prolific driver

For "Signed libusb-win32 drivers for Windows 7 [8-1] and 10" USBAsp_signed_driver

And you are good to go. You may have to repeat the procedure each time you update to the latest Arduino IDE.

gizDuino+ with ATmega324
gizDuino+ with ATmega164

gizDuino+ (mini) with ATmega644 (Sanguino mode)
gizDuino+ (mini) with ATmega324 (Sanguino mode)
gizDuino+ (mini) with ATmega164 (Sanguino mode)

gizDuino+ Note:

Select the gizDuino+ in the Arduino IDE Tools>Board menu if you want to work the gizDuino+ using standard gizDuino/Arduino pin-out. A label indicating the standard gizDuino pin-out is added at the side of the headers of the affected pins as shown in the photo below.

Select the gizDuino+(Sanguino) in a similar manner if you want to work the gizDuino+ using the Sanguino pin-out as printed in the PCB.

Note: For gizDuino boards with revision stamp below Rev. 4.1, select Arduino Duemilanove with ATmega328 for gizDuino328 or Arduino Duemilanove with ATmega168 for gizDuino168.

November 12, 2015 Update

Analog pin mix-up on gizDuino+ AnalogRead() function is fixed.
