VS17, Visual Micro a couple of questions.

Hi,

I am using visual studio 17, and visual micro to program chipkit, fubarino mini. I then read the program using pickit 3, and burn it to my own board which has no usb port.

Can I program straight from visual studio using ICSP?

Also when I program via usb using visual studio there is a couple of seconds delay before the code starts to run compared to using arduino IDE. Does anyone know why this is?

Thanks in advance.

Bob.

Hi,

If you switch the toolbar from Debug to Release I hope the startup becomes the same as the arduino ide?

If Pic provide a programmer definition for the pickit3 then you can use it.

Note that for arduino boards the programmers list contains entries such as avrispmkii. This is a programmer like the pickit3 but for different boards. So the chipKIT crew just need to add similar into programmers.txt then both Visual Micro and the Arduino IDE can use it.

If they provide you with some tips you can also try it out yourself. Post again if you get more info and need help.

Thanks Tim,

That worked. Code is same size now and runs straight away. Not been able to find any info on programmer definitions, so will just have to program the chip kit, and read the hex from it.

Regards
Bob.
