Description
Our policy is to load the tool locations from the config file, but when they are not set assume default locations.
If these default locations don't have the tools, we should warn, print the issue at hand and how to correct it (instructions to edit config.cfg), instead of crashing.
Relevant piece of code:
https://github.com/BrewPi/brewpi-script/blob/master/programArduino.py#L66
Current behavior:
result of invoking avrdude:
/bin/sh: 1 arduinohome/hardware/tools/avrdude: not found
The script continues , gives the countdown,etc. and eventually tells me that it "Cannot receive version number".
Or:
When I try with programArduinoFirstTime.py ...
**** Arduino Program script started ****
Settings will be restored if possible
Devices will be restored if possible
Checking old version before programming.
Warning: Cannot receive version number from Arduino. Your Arduino is either not programmed yet or running a very old version of BrewPi. Arduino will be reset to defaults.
