I almost got the writeInstinct file to run so changed a few things and now I just can't get passed this, is it a problem with my editing of the boards.txt file ?

Error compiling for board Arduino Pro or Pro Mini.
Thanks for any help -
Could you send the screenshot of the error message? It's very hard to read in plan text.
As to the board setting, you can try the first method in 4.2.3 of the instruction doc that installs board configuration automatically.
