Debugger installation prob - help!

Hi -

I'm not making much sense of the debugger.  I've got a fresh copy of Visual Studio12, and the VM arduino plug-in. Debugger installed.  The blink led code is read in, compiled, uploads to the arduino (uno) and runs.  I can edit the code and change the blink pattern, so its all real.

I can set breakpts, upload the code but the cpu doesn't stop.  Program runs unchanged.   

Looking at the debugger video, it all goes wrong at the start - when I click on properties on the project name in Solution Explorer I don't get a project properties page that looms like the video - there is no Macro Debug switch or any of the other switches mentioned.

Any idea what's gone wrong ?

OK - further to this, the project properties window I get is called 'project pages', not 'project properties' as in the tutorial video.

I've obviously got the wrong properties window - must be those stupid pills.

Hi, the "Properties Window" should be on the VIEW menu. It is different to Property Pages.

You should also be able to select the project in the Solution Explorer and press F4

Hi -

Thanks for that, but that doesn't work. All I get is the properties pages.  Here is a screen shot:

mmm.. I've just noticed the arduino add-in menus have gone from the toolbar.  Previously I have just uninstalled the debugger and re-installed it.  The un-install seems to have upset it.

Should unistall the debugger, the unistall arduino add-in and re-install ?

Hi,

Thanks for the image, it certainly helps

1)
The property window is showing in the image behind the property pages dialog. It is attached to the right hand side of the ide and is showing as a collapsed vertical tab below the Server Explorer tab.. 

It has been unpinned so it will only "pull out" and show when you click it. 

Click it and press the "Pin" so that it stays visible. You can move it to another location if you don't like where it is after unpinning.

2)

Vs sometimes gets it wrong after uninstall. This doc tells you how to force it to reset the add-in and re-create the UI

Hi Tim -

fantastic - all working.  I could have sworn I had a good sort through that collapsed vertical tab.  I'm obviously too stupid to have a computer....

re vanished arduino toolbars, I think I must have clicked on the 'reset toolbars' while thrashing around and cleared them.  Clicking on the toolbar stubs and Add/remove buttons ->customizing -> add commands and choosing 'Arduino Boards' and 'Arduno Serial Communiations' respectively has brought them back.

Thanks again

Simon
