Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
Roberto;
Was able to get the plugin installed in VS2102. Compiles code and uploads fine, but seems to be a isue with debugging. Getting there anyway.

Roberto, do you have a dropbox account?.

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
For those of you using Visual Studio such as myself. I found some weird behavior with uploaded sketches, sometimes my screens would be blank for no good reason. It appeared to get more severe as I kept adding new code. In the Tools > Options > Visual Micro section there are two Compiler Optimization settings for Core and Library, make sure that are both set to false. That cleared up my issue.

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
@thekameleon It should not be required to switch off the optimization. It would be appreciated if you would join the Visual Micro forum and help us work through this issue. In the meantime I have a few questions that would be appreciated if answered...thekameleon wrote:For those of you using Visual Studio such as myself.

Were you renaming source files?
Setting any compiler #defines?
Just editing code files?
Did you have more than one project of the same name open in different instances of VS?
Do you get this problem with the latest version of Visual Micro?
Thanks, Tim

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
I'm trying to get Atmel Studio to work, as the stock Arduino editor gives me problems.
My problem is, I'm a total noob to this and I can't figure out how to upload to the RA. Anyone have any tips? It seems to want to go to the simulator. Maybe I'm way off?
Thanks,
--Colin

Collin, this might be a bit late but the Visual Micro plugin was released for Atmel Studio last month, see it on visual micro .comcosmith71 wrote:I'm trying to get Atmel Studio to work, as the stock Arduino editor gives me problems.

I have it. I'm just too ignorant to get it to work.

the two things I was doing was editing code files and renaming a few code files. I will try to turn on the optimization and see if it works with the latest.

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
Okay if renaming files then the compiler cache probably wasn't clearing correctly. If you have renamed files then click "Build>Clean Solution" to clear the cache.thekameleon wrote:@Tim,

You can also switch on "Tools>Options>Visual Micro>Compiler>Show Build Folder". Switching this option on will give you a little extra detail when you compile. A CTRL+CLICK hyperlink will allow you to view the temporary folder that the compiler uses during an Arduino build. Deleting the TEMPORARY folder will also clear the cache but it can also be useful to have easy access to the build output and the compiled Arduino files.
Best of luck, do feel free to join the Visual Micro forum if you need any speedy help. We can't always promise to spot posts on other forums, not enough man power

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
I wonder if anyone has actually tried the Visual Micro debugging experience with Reef Angel and Visual Studio
Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
I know one person that is using it all the time and I used it in the past too, very briefly.

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
Even the line by line step through?
Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
No, I tried the variable debugging only

Any luck? I only have the Express versions of VS so I was thinking about trying Atmel Studio today. Just want to know if you made any progress.
[EDIT]
I also found this: http://playground.arduino.cc/Code/VisualStudio Going to give that a shot as well and see which one works better (or works at all) for me.

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
I don't think it will work with VS Express
Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
Yes, after a re-install I got it to working. Apparently it doesn't compile the RA stuff correctly so it's only useful if you're tackling a larger project and don't mind using the Arduino software to compile. In the end I got the Arduino editor to work correctly (it was software that came with my video card causing problems) so I gave up on it. It would be way more than I would need at this point.Piper wrote:Colin,cosmith71 wrote:I have it. I'm just too ignorant to get it to work.

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
PMFJI an older thread, but I've had it working with both the Express or "community" edition of 2013 along with the Visual Micro.
The editor is SO much better than the Arduino editor - intellisense, proper indenting, jump to references, I could go on and on. I'm learning a lot just by poking around the functions.
The only thing I'm unsure of right now is what programmer to use.
I get a choice of:
AVR ISP
AVRISP mkII
USBtinyISP
USBasp
Parallel Programmer
Adruino as ISP
Looking through the Reef Angel IDE, it looks like we use AVRDude. Would the other AVR's work? (wow, a lot to learn!)

Re: Visual Studio and the VisualMicro Arduino Plug In
You can use any if them if you have them. They are all going to use avrdude, regardless of which one you use.
If you are using the boot loader that comes with RA and the USB programming cable, it gets uploaded through mkii emulation.
