I just got working my first Arduino project. I am using the stable version of the plugin 1.0.0.36. I downloaded the Arduino IDE from the Arduino.cc website. It is version 1.6.12.
To make a long story short I could never get my Arduino shield to work. My project is working just fine with a USB connection.
As I tried to troubleshoot this I noticed that the boards I bought (Arduino Mega and the Ethernet shield) were from Arduino.org not Arduino.cc (purchased from Amazon as "Geniune Arduino")
So I went to the Arduino.org website and I see that their IDE is at version 1.7.11. I also read a short tutorial about the Ethernet shield.
So I guess my question is this, because I have purchased .org boards should I be using the .org version of the IDE and its libraries? Are the plugins written by Grieg compatible with this IDE and other llbraries?
It sure is confusing when you have two organizations claiming to supply "Genuine" Arduino products yet have different software to run them with.
