As mentioned in Programming an old BadgderStick, the batch of BadgerSticks that were distributed in SXSW 2015 are programmed with an old bootloader, that makes them incompatible with the current version.
The best way to fix that is to update the bootloader, but this might be a bit daunting for some people, so we'll show you to to configure codebender to work with the old BadgerSticks.
Note: This tutorial assumes that you already have a codebender account, and you are logged in.
Work-around
Download the boards.txt file attached here.
Go to codebender's boards page.
Upload the boards.txt file and click Upload.
You should get a success message, and a new board called BadgerStick (Old Bootloader) should show up.
Try out the BadgerStick Hello World sketch below. Select the new board (you may need to refresh the page to see it), select the right port, and click Run on Arduino.
Extra Step
Click on the Edit button in the embedded code bellow, change the Hello world
string to something else, program your BadgerStick again.
