Installation
HID-Project only works with the new Arduino IDE 1.6 or newer.
For Arduino Micro/Leonardo ignore this step.
For Arduino Uno/Mega first install HoodLoader2 on your 16u2 + the needed software files. Make sure your HoodLoader2 software is up to date when you also update the HID-Project files. HoodLoader1 is only supported for legacy.
#####a) Installation via Boards Manager See this Adafruit tutorial on how to install additional boards/cores. Instead of using their .json url use this one:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NicoHood/HID/master/package_NicoHood_HID_index.json
#####b) Manual Installation Installation has changed over the time. You don't have to modify the original core any more.
Ensure that under 'File->Preferences' the correct sketchbook folder is selected.
Put all files into sketchbook/hardware/HID/. You have to rename the folder HID-master to HID. Do not install the files as library since it's a hardware definition, not a library.
Your sketchbook folder should look like this:
Restart the IDE and read the how to use section.
