I installed Visual Adruino Helper. Everything looks good on the install steps, I had Arduino.exe started before the install and I ran it after the install. I also made sure that in Options-Tools I set Arudino.exe folder.

However, I don't have the Arduino showing under New Projects.

I have tried running devenv.exe as suggested. However, I get this error.

devenv.exe /resetaddin Visual.Micro.VisualStudio.Ardunino.Helper

The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more details.

I have using Visual Studio 2010 Pro

Thanks, John

Hi, no it's not in the VC++ area it should be at the bottom of the "File>new" menu. "File>New>Arduino Project". It should also be on the "Add" menu when you right click the solution name in the solution explorer. And also on the VS Solution tool bar button.

I can understand you expecting to see it in the VC++ area but because arduino projects are normally created under the sketch folder it seemed pointless.

You can also check out http://atl.codeplex.com for an interesting vs template created by one of our members.

Please let us know if this resolves the question.

Thanks

Yes it made sense to look there. it might be that we build on the atl system and povide some ready to go templates in the future.

the reason why it didn't work immediately was that sometimes the devenv.exe process (visual studio) hasn't shutdown properly. The reset kicks in the next time vs does a clean start.

Glad it's all working, thanks for the update
