	Hi there, today I updated my Visual Micro Plugin and now I'm not able to compile anymore. My configuration is set up according to http://www.visualmicro.com/forums/YaBB.pl?num=1375389858/0 but I only get the message: Code Compiling 'Projectname' for 'waspmote-api' Projectname.pde : No such file or directory Error compiling Here is what I added to applications.txt: Code waspmote.name=Waspmote API 003 waspmote.ide.hint=Waspmote IDE 03 API 003 waspmote.ide.location.key=Waspmote003 waspmote.ide.location.ide.winreg=Waspmote 003 Application waspmote.ide.location.sketchbook.winreg=Waspmote Sketchbook waspmote.ide.location.sketchbook.preferences=sketchbook.path waspmote.ide.location.sketchbook.default=%MYDOCUMENTS%\waspmote waspmote.ide.location.preferences=%VM_APPDATA_ROAMING%\waspmote\preferences.txt waspmote.ide.default.package=waspmote003 waspmote.ide.default.platform=avr waspmote.ide.multiplatform=true waspmote.ide.includes=waspmote.h waspmote.ide.platformswithoutpackage=true waspmote.ide.sketchfolder.platforms.exclude=avr waspmote.ide.includes.fallback=wprogram.h waspmote.ide.extension=ino waspmote.ide.extension.fallback=pde waspmote.ide.versionLTEQ=149 waspmote.ide.exe=waspmote.exe waspmote.ide.hosts=atmel waspmote.ide.url=http://www.libelium.com/development/waspmote/sdk_applications/ waspmote.vm.debug=true waspmote.software=ARDUINO waspmote004.name=Waspmote API 004 waspmote004.ide.hint=Waspmote IDE 03 patched with API 004 waspmote004.ide.location.key=Waspmote004 waspmote004.ide.location.ide.winreg=Waspmote 004 Application waspmote004.ide.location.sketchbook.winreg=Waspmote Sketchbook waspmote004.ide.location.sketchbook.preferences=sketchbook.path waspmote004.ide.location.sketchbook.default=%MYDOCUMENTS%\waspmote xt waspmote004.ide.default.package=waspmote004 waspmote004.ide.default.platform=avr waspmote004.ide.multiplatform=true waspmote004.ide.includes=waspmote.h waspmote004.ide.platformswithoutpackage=true waspmote004.ide.sketchfolder.platforms.exclude=avr waspmote004.ide.includes.fallback=wprogram.h waspmote004.ide.extension=ino waspmote004.ide.extension.fallback=pde waspmote004.ide.versionLTEQ=149 waspmote004.ide.exe=waspmote.exe waspmote004.ide.hosts=atmel waspmote004.ide.url=http://www.libelium.com/development/waspmote/sdk_applications/ waspmote004.vm.debug=true waspmote004.software=ARDUINO Please tell me if you have any idea why it's not working anymore...

	Hi Sorry you are having a problem. As state in your initial post (that you have linked) the manufacturer of the waspmote have said that they don't really want their users using other ide's. This means we can only try to help you and we should not be judged by any expected standard Nothing in the last release changed as far as the compiler is concerned. It looks like a library or #include might be missing. Can you try compiling using waspmote does it work? We are on reduced support during November for 1 off unique reasons. I will try to replicate your install by downloading waspmote but it might take a couple of weeks if I encounter any delay at all. In the meantime please switch on Tools>options>Visual Micro>Compiler>verbose and run the compile again then email the output to info[at]visualmicro.com Also check that your waspmote path is correct in the Visual Micro config

	Hi, I just mailed you the output. It seems that the plugin is looking for Projectname.pde in the build folder but there is only Projectname.cpp (same content). Greets!

	Hi, It isn't possible to compile .pde or .ino files directly. They are always combined into a single .cpp in the temp build folder so it is correct you see sketch.pde and sketch.cpp in the build process. The output seems to indicate that some project sources or library sources are missing. Can you please confirm that you are able to perform this build using the waspmote ide. This is what is in your build output, not the best error msg in the world but certainly the problem of a missing file or reference. Code IAs??.pde : No such file or directory WaspClasses.h : In file included from Waspmote.h : from IAr??.h : from IAsam.pde : from You need to try the waspmote ide that you have installed into :- C:\IA\Projects\G????a_I????\IDE\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows_GD003\ When you open the waspmote ide you should also confirm that File>Preferences>Sketchbook is the same as you have configured for Visual Micro: - C:\IA\Projects When you upgraded your Visual Micro did you also upgrade waspmote? Please also switch on verbose in the waspmote ide and make the same compile then send the output. Aside from this error I would like to compare the output. There are a lot of compiler warnings that I can see in your output. It would be useful to compare the two so that I can give config tips (if possible) Thanks edit: some data blocked because of user request (???)

	Hi there, I did the following now: - Took another computer with a fresh installation of Visual Studio 2010 - Downloaded an unpacked an unmodified version of Waspmote IDE (WI) to "C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows" - Downloaded and installed a fresh copy of Visual Micro Plugin (VMP) 1.1309.11 - Configured WI to use "C:\WaspVS\Code" as sketchbook path - Configured VMP to use "C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows" as IDE path and "C:\WaspVS\Code" as sketchbook path for "Arduino 1.0.x" - Changed two lines in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Micro\Visual Micro for Arduino\Micro Platforms\applications.txt": Code [...] arduino10x.ide.includes=Waspmote.h [...] arduino10x.ide.exe=waspmote.exe - Set up a new project named "empty" in WI and placed it in "C:\WaspVS\Code\empty" - "C:\WaspVS\Code\empty\empty.pde" contains: Code void setup() { } void loop() { } - Tried to compile with WI -> successful - Tried to compile with VS with VMP -> same problem as before Here is the output of VS with VMP: Code Compiling 'empty' for 'waspmote-api-v004' Build folder: file:///C:/Users/lifeaddict/AppData/Local/VMicro/Arduino/Builds/empty/wasp1 SketchLibFolders ows\hardware\tools\avr\lib\gcc\avr\4.3.2\include\; Summary: Header=1 Prototypes=3 Imports=0 Additional Defines: VISUALMICRO_COMPILER_VER=1; Architecture Tools: C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows\hardware\tools\avr\bin\ GCC: 4.3.2 Sketchbook: file:///C:/WaspVS/Code C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-g++ -c -g -Os -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wall -mmcu=atmega1281 -DF_CPU=14745600L -MMD -DUSB_VID=null -DUSB_PID=null -DARDUINO=101 -I"C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows\hardware\waspmote\cores\waspmote-api" -o "� -DVISUALMICRO_COMPILER_VER=1 empty.pde : No such file or directory Error compiling Any idea? Greets, Michael BTW: I'll send you to output of the successful compilation with WI by mail because it is too long for posting it here.

	Hi there, I am confused. In all cases the waspmote locations shown in the logs are different to what you say you have configured for VM. Let's ignore the first report because you don't want the locations made public. So I am looking at the WI log that arrived at 7:12, 4 mins after your previous post. In that log the waspmote-ide is reported to be in bin" However, in your last post you clearly state that you have configured vm to find waspmote in "C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows" and that you also ran the WI program from "C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows" I am sorry if I have missed something, but what appears to be happening is a confusuion over where WI is actually installed. This also makes sense for the error you are getting on the very first file that Vm attempts to compile. In your last post I think VM can not find the avr program used to compile which based on your stated config settings is "C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avr-g++"

	Sorry Tim, I mixed up with the output files I made before is I decided to make a new installation. I just mailed you the output file from the right location. But I get the same behavior no matter at which location the IDE is installed. Greets, Michael

	Please try clicking "Build>Clean Solution" then email the full verbose output from from VM. Thanks I will do my best over the next couple of weeks to answer questions. Unfortunately you will read on the vm site and top of the forum that some exceptional circumstances mean we will only be able to provide reduced support over the next few weeks. This starts tomorrow so I am very sorry you will probably get caught by this. Don;t forget the external editor checkbox in waspmote allows sketches to be edited in vs and upload via waspmote ide. Please use a batch file to understand what the problem might be. You can see the first compilation line in both the vm trace and WI trace should be identical apart from temp folder location. Vm is running the programs that come with WI and showing exactly what it doing so you have the capability to replicate the issue. The two commands are shown below. It's also a good idea to look in the empty.cpp in the two temp folders to see any difference? The order of the params in the lines below is not important. Not sure of setting the ARDUINO version to 3 will have any effect?

	Your hint to compare the empty.cpp files did it! I couldn't explain the the #include "wprogram.h" comes from because I already replaced every occurrence of "wprogram.h" in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Micro\Visual Micro for Arduino\Micro Platforms\applications.txt" with "Waspmote.h". So I placed a fake "wprogram.h" in "C:\WaspVS\waspmote-pro-ide-v03-windows\hardware\waspmote\cores\waspmote-api" with just one line: Code #include "Waspmote.h" Build process now works again... I still can't explain why VM does not pay any attention to applications.txt which explicitly names Waspmote.h. Thanks for all your help, Michael

	Sorry for the delay, well done for sorting it. I will look into why the include override was being ignored. I also thought you had created a new app entry for waspmote and left the default arduino 1x apps as they are. However if you are only using waspmote and not arduino it doesn't matter. Over the next couple of weeks I will try to add a blog article showing how to add your own applications.txt outside of the std Visual Micro install location. The reason for this is that applications.txt is overwritten during upgrade which is why your customizations stopped working. I will post a link here when done.
