Loaded 6.2 for atmel and not working

So I downloaded 6.2 from atmel and installed, I forgot I had 6.1 on the computer, now I have both.

I try and use your tool in 6.2 and it complains can not create a project, and in 6.1 it does nothing, I pick the .ino and it just plainly looks like I did not pick it at all, nothing happens.

What should I do?

Hi,

This sounds like a permissions problem. When you attempt to "file>open sketch" what folder appears in the file manager window?

Thanks

Just figured it out, with a reboot! Smiley damn windows

Question #2, do you know how to have the editor highlight the code that is #ifdef'd out

#if 0
printf("highlighted out");
#else
printf("do not highlight");
#endif

R.

Great.

I think there is an extension in the Gallery called XFeatures that does the disabling of # compiler defines. I think it also color codes the compiler error/warnings and a few other neat things.

Cool! I love this new IDE! very nice, I come from a KEIL ARM environment and when I try and use the real Arduio IDE, it drives me nuts, the KEIL is not as good as this new one here, but its much better then Arduino IDE! Smiley

Does the debugging work over the SPI? how do I get started with debug? (I know its in the wrong thread now!)

Hi, glad it is helping.

You are right the debugger is best discussed in a new thread but I can tell you it is a Serial.print replacement but does itself use Serial or SoftwareSerial etc. It can't work over spi because we only have a usb connection. You can buy a hardware programmer for atmel but that involves some complexity and is outside of the current visual micro remit. This means that after vm build, you will use "file>open object file for debugging". You can try it out using the Simulator that will be the only device available because you don't own a hardware debugger. Keep an eye out for improvements to the vm debugger over the next few months (but not spi support)

edit: I will split this message into a new thread shortly

Hi,

This is already my second attempt to start Atmel Studio with Visual Micro, after a while. Now using Arduino r.1.6.4; Atmel Studio r.6.2; Visual Micro r.May 2015. Read documentation, "followed" instructions, but so far no success.

Arduino IDE compiles well and programs the Arduino Uno with no issues. Atmel studio does not, here is the complete content of the output window:
--
Compiling 'Blink' for 'Arduino Uno'
     Process: "{runtime.tools.avr-gcc.path}\bin\avr-g++" -c -g -Os -w -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-threadsafe-statics -MMD -mmcu=atmega328p -DF_CPU=16000000L -DARDUINO=164 -DARDUINO_AVR_UNO -DARDUINO_ARCH_AVR -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino" -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\variants\standard" "C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\V.Micro\Arduino\Builds\Blink\uno\Blink.cpp" -o "C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\V.Micro\Arduino\Builds\Blink\uno\Blink.cpp.o"
Error compiling

Please, Help
Thank you!

Hi Vismic,

Sorry you have had poor support. You came to this at a time when arduino made some huge changes to their ide without a beta period. So we have been running to catch up.

Actually I hope your problem is solved in the release from the last couple of days. There are a few remaining things that could cause the problem and should all be in the release notes available via the download page.

The problem is being able to resolve this new {runtime.tools.avr-gcc.path} build property

In the version of the last few weeks if users did not change their Visual Micro Ide Location from the Arduino 1.5 app to the new Arduino 1.6 application option then this error would appear. The version of the last couple of days detects this issue by looking at the actual version of arduino.exe that is installed so it can intelligently give you the new arduino build system even though you have still got the Arduino 1.5 option selected in Visual Micro.

I suspect this problem is the issue for you so please upgrade because it contains more support and fixes for the new Arduino features.

Look forward to hearing how you get on. 

If compile still fails after upgrade, to prove you have a correct config open the Micro Explorer and see if you have the new Boards Manager tab?

Thanks

Thank you for your excellent support!

Works well. I removed the vm from Atmel studio. Downloaded and installed the new vm. Noticed one more line in vm conf. locations. Also re-installed arduino 1.6.4, but looks like it did not play any role.

Great help!
Thanks again
