	I can't get the "jump to source" on breakpoint to work. Let's see if i understood it correctly first. I want the cursor to jump to the line in the code where the CPU halted due to a breakpoint.... and hightlight that row. (like in normal Visual Studio). - checked "jump to source" - is in debug-mode - i've already set a breakpoint + "when hit"-> continue on execusion unchecked Anything else i should check?

	Hi there, "Jump to source" probably isn't the option you want. That simply allows the Arduino to continue in Trace (non-break) mode but at the same time highlighting and making active the source code of the last breakpoint to be hit. This is useful for teachers, armed with a sensor or button, to demonstrate how code flow works. The option can also be switched on/off during a debug session without need for re-compile which is why it is located on the running debugger menu instead of in the project properties. The option I think you want is in the project properties called:- Code � "Micro Debug>Enable Break/Pause" = True By default the debugger is in Trace only mode which prevents the robots and drones of some new users from crashing when a breakpoint is hit. Switching this property to True, causes the Arduino to stop at a breakpoint and wait for a debugger "Continue" command. You have set the other properties correctly.

I had already set "Enable BReak/pause", but forgot to mention that in my post. The problem is that i don't see anywhere if the debugger has stopped on a breakpoint or is still running. I thought, like in a normal visual Studo environment, that the row would be highlighted upon breakpoint. How and where do i see where in the code we are at the moment, without using Print-text in the breakpoint/when hit.

	Okay so you are saying that it is stopping/breaking but you want to know how to see the line of code that it has stopped on? 1) Visual Micro will activate (or open) the correct source code file, set the cursor to the line of code and select/highlight the text of the line. 2) The Micro Trace output window will show the function name and code file name etc. You can also click the BUG button on the serial viewer and tick messages to appear in the Micro Trace. This will give a combined trace/message view instead of the default individual views. Are you seeing this behavior? Thanks ps: It will not use the standard highlight that VS normally uses for debug because VS does not know it is debugging.
