1)
It's interesting which menu item did you use to open the project i sent you?

2)
Can you please switch Visual Micro off by un-ticking the checkboxes for Visual Micro in Tools>Addin Manager.

Then re-start Atmel Studio and open the project I sent you. No need to open a solution first.

Does the project open, do you see the project and .ino in the solution explorer?

Thanks

1) I sent two screen shots one using the atmel open solution the other open sketch menu item

2) no project or ino - with visual micro unchecked - the only way to get the ino to display is to double click the .ino file in the Windows explorer which will fire up Studio 6 and display the .ino file - HOWEVER the build menu is missing.

Hi,

Okay there is some confusion between opening a solution and opening a project.

The solution you keep opening is a blank one that was probably created when you clicked save when closing Atmel Studio after a failed attempt to create a project. Please ignore the solution or delete it for less confusing times Smiley It has an extension .asln

Please open the project (AtmelTest.ccpproj) that I sent you.

Thanks

info: A project has source code included and a solution has one or more projects included. A project can be contained in more than one solution. 

If you attempt to open a project with no solution open then Atmel will auto create a solution for you. It is of little use and can be ignored.

Tim - the zip file you sent me did not contain a ccpproj file.  I am sending back the zip file via email.

I re checked - you did  not attach your zip file - I mistakenly reopened the one I sent you.

Hi Tim

Everything looks fine when I open the project file with either method.  The build menu is present. The template .ino compiles.  I'll send a screen image.

Thanks, I see from the screen image you have installed some custom hardware. The next release fixes a bug with custom hardware definitions that attempt to share the variants folder of the main Arduino Ide install.

You can fix this yourself but I suggest you wait for the next release (few days). Until then it would be best to test the system with a standard Arduino board such as the Uno. Maybe this is what you have done hence your report below of a working compile.

With this in mind maybe you can select the uno and re-test the project create but ensure you create a new sketch name each time you test so that we test the entire workflow. Sketch1, sketch2 etc

Your system seems to be working well apart from the auto create of new sketch projects. I am not sure why you had a problem creating a project manually in Atmel Studio. Maybe the next release will give better diagnostics.

So you have a working project which is simply a project and .ino file. Can you add another .ino to the project? Does that work using the Visual Micro right click project name in solution explorer menus "Add>Sketch Code"?

Thanks

A couple of  issues have been raised by your last post.   

1. The list box of boards does not include a UNO.  I am in fact working with a Arduino Pro 328 3.3v - All of the boards listed specify [Optiboot]   Where is the source of the board info?

2. I tried adding my existing code as you suggested in the explorer menu by right clicking the project "add>  the choices all specify existing project or existing sketch project or new project - not surprisingly they won't work - the existing sketch project .ino returns the Unable to create msg.  The other choices require the selection of a project file which of course doesn't exist.

Ahaha! This means that Visual Micro can't find your Arduino ide. It sounds like custom hardware is showing so when I asked if the boards menu was populated early on in our discussion you correctly answered yes but I didn't realise you had custom hardware installed which confused the issue.

Please confirm the location where you have installed the Arduino Ide, which version is it? 1.5.x or 1.0.5? It is important that the <Configuration Manager> on the boards list shows the correct path against the correct ide version???

Thanks

SUCCESS!

I downloaded a fresh boards.txt file from Github and all is right with the world.  I don't know why my boards file was non- standard.   

Debugging is always an adventure.

Thanks for your help.

Phew!!!!

Best of luck, normally debugging with Visual Micro is less of an adventure than this  Cheesy

I will add better error messages
