APM3.0 Discussion

Installed AtmelStudio and VisualMicro Plugin on Windows 8. No problems. Installed AtmelSltudio Patch (important for getting properties when working with the debugger).

Installed Arduino 1.0.4. Updated sketchbook folder and Arduino folder in Tools->Project->VisualMicro.

I could not compile AC 2.9. with Atmel Studio and Arduino.

I built AC 3.0 with the APM-Arduino 1.0.4. That works. Biinary with size 228554.
Upload okay, connection with Mission Planer okay.

Started to debug:

I set:
Enable Debug to full
Local Port to COM3
Remote Transport FastSerial


When I want to debug it starts compiling again: Error VM_DBH.h: 'byte' has not been declared'.

Help welcome 
Thanks
Thomas

Hello,

Can we first have your visual micro to compile without the debug switched on  (Micro Debug=False). 

Can you also confirm which board you select when compiling

Thanks

Okay so you can compile everything fine but have a problem when trying to debug.

I have another report of this for apm so will investigate for the next release.

Yep, I get the same failure when using VM Debug, but compiles OK without Debug.

Uninstalled everything (VM debug)
Downloaded & installed the combo VM + debug
Downloaded & extracted /hardware into sketchbook folder
Changed RemoteTransport to FastSerial
Compiled SUCCESS
Changed (Micro Debug) to Full
Compile FAIL

Here's what I get:

Yes I need to alter the vm debug sources slightly. 

The "byte" data type used to be defined in both arduino and apm, but it seems that apm has undefined it. 

I think that visual micro should avoid using 'byte' and switch to unint8_t

I hope to do this for the next release over the next few weeks
