Arduino IDE 1.5.7 support

[NicoHood]

Hi, something seems to be broken with the new IDE and the new toolchain. Just compile any example. I am using FastLed2.1

D:\Arduino\sketchbook\libraries\FastLED2_1/colorpalettes.h:145:7: error: 'TProgmemPalette16' does not name a type
const TProgmemPalette16 HeatColors_p PROGMEM =

1.5.7 is still beta - also, what hardware are you attempting to compile for?

Arduino Nano
of course its beta, but its coming :D like FastLed2.1 :P

Downloading the software now - but from looking at the code where the error is being reported, it looks to me like it may actually be a bug w/Arduino 1.5.7 (breaking one of their progmem related type definitions) - i'll know more in a bit.

Also - they've made a major upgrade to the compiler (jumping from 4.3 to 4.8 - jumping 6 years in releases) - there's a lot of work that the library does at the asm level - and from the release notes it looks like they've also made changes to how progmem is interacted with.

Anyway, i've fixed the build errors, no chance yet to test them though, we'll see what else the compiler will mess up in the future :)

6 years holy moly :D
Its compiling now and also blinking fine. Not sure if there are still other Problems with the new IDE but my sketch is working again for now. (and 350 bytes smaller XD )

I believe I have this fixed now!
