Arduino 1.8.2

Make it compile with Arduino 1.8.2, resulting hex currently untested

Thanks, when I get to a computer, I will test against 1.8.8 and upload to Arduino

That got me a long way. I was able to compile after the normal change to INSTALL_DIR and it compiled many steps, but then failed on EEPROM.h, which does exist in the libraries/EEPROM/src folder. I'm looking into WidgetSettings.cpp, which seems to be the caller of EEPROM.h

UPDATE: copied EEPROM.h from folder to rgbmixer root, and created the hex. Testing on arduino upload now.

UPDATE the 2nd: Uploaded without issue, and arduino shows up as DMX device in OLA! Now to map out and test on LED! Confirm now works with 1.8.8

Can you just confirm exactly which path (relative to INSTALL_DIR) your EEPROM.h is in? It may be due to my change here:

Was that using make upload? That sounds very promising anyway.

Yes that was using make upload. I then connected some LEDs, and using ola's web interface was able to brighten and dim the LEDs. There isn't any documentation on this that I could find, so was a bit trial and error. I might also look into the code and dig a bit into the serial-parallel abilities, to run a bunch of relays with on/off only, for doing a lightning type effect with some other lights I have. Getting the dmx portion is 99% for me, the rest is experimentation.

As mentioned in #5 there's some docs here:

Compiles, uploads and functions as DMX output device when avr-g++ is used in stock configuration from arduino1.8.8
