Arduino Visual Studio Examples and Images

The Visual Studio>Tools>Serial Ports menu will automatically enable and disable when arduino boards or xbees are connected. We can override arduino programmer settings from within visual studio

^{The Visual Studio "Tools" menu example below is taken from a machine that did not have a connected serial port.}

Various arduino command are added to visual studio in all relevent positions such as the Standard Tool Bar shown below

The Visual Studio Tools menu allows an arduino board to be selected for a visual studio project as does the boards list on the tool bar

Arduino intellisense in Visual Studio is fully available and automatically built from any arduino sketch

Multiple sketch projects in a single solution are fully supported. F5 will compile and upload the Visual Studio "Start Up" project. Board and Serial port can be selected for each sketch project.

Ultra fast intelligent visual studio arduino compiler

Unlimited serial viewers in Visual Studio auto pause and re-start during upload to an arduino board. All arduino and user conditional compiler directives are fully visible as you code

The Visual Studio "project" menu contains a number of arduino commands related to the active project, some of which are shown below

 "Show all arduino files" is for advanced users who would like the arduino core and "selected libraries" source codes included in the Visual Studio solution

 Visual Studio has serial tool windows for arduino or any other project
