Visual Studio 2013 Create a new Arduiono Project

Hey guys,

I can't believe I couldn't figure this one out... So topic title says it all. How do I create a new Project for Arduino using Visual Studio 2013? I've seen these instructions http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Create-New-project.html
But I can't see "Sketch Project".

Thanks for helping

Do you have a sub menu on the "File" menu called "New"?

If not then click "tools>import export settings"

Click "reset all settings"

Select "General"  from the top of the "Chose a default collection of settings" list

Then click "Finish"

You should then be able to see a File>New menu list.

If "Sketch project" is not on the File>New menu then click "tools>visual micro>reset user interface"

Hi,

Actually you don;t have a  "File>New" menu, you have single menu items instead such as "File>New Project". All of the menus you see with the word new in them are normally sub menu items of a menu called "New"

File>New>Project
File>New>Web Site

instead of what you have
File>New Project
File>New Web Site

When you reset your vs settings, did you select the "General" layout from the top of the list? 

It looks like you have web developer selected.

..

As an alternative you can add the visual micro menu items manually via tools>customise. all visual micro menu items are macros you can add to any menu or tool bar.

Tools>Customise>Commands>Add Command>Addins>Sketch Project

nb: You will find all Visual Micro commands in the Addins section. Names can be a little confusing so add a few, customise then remove what you don't need

Another option:-

In the "Micro Explorer" (yellow ?) you can also open/clone any example, then edit and then save as a new project template. See more here http://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1425736152/1#1

..........

I hope one of the above works ok for you. Normally the reset to "General", then reset of Visual Micro fixes the issue.
