Thanks for the post.

That looks like Visual Micro isn't finding a library or some include file. Can you please zip and email the sketch to info [at] visualmicro.com and also confirm if you have installed any custom libraries and where they are installed? 

In Visual Micro when you click "File>Open Sketch" what folder appears?
In MpIde when you click "File>Open Sketch" what folder appears?

Please include the url to this thread in your email.

Thanks very much

Good news. Interesting about the lib locations. 

I didn't realize it looks above the sketch folder for libs. 

You can place copies of the libraries in sketchbookfolder/libraries and click "Tools>Visual Micro>Reload Tool chains" or re-start the Ide. Or you can move them to below mpide/libraries where both Visual Micro and MpIde will find them.

Yes good points, both of these things are under review along with my personal annoyance of the lack of recently open sketch files (unless you open them using standard Atmel commands)

A more accessible UI generally but optionally so that Vs Pro users who don't do much with Arduino don't get too much clutter.

Hi Peter,

Thanks so much for sending the sketch it was a great test. It's now fixed, I am going to look at a couple of other things for some other users then I hope to post a new release in a few hours.

The errors happened for files in a libraries \utility sub folder but showed up some problems with the definitions in the visual micro platform.txt that is used to tell the compiler what to do. I think the original definitions were tested using a Mega/Max and the Uno has some overrides that other boards don't have.

There is now less hard coded stuff in the mpide platform.txt and Visual Micro now supports MpIde syntax of two semi colons for specifying compilers switches. ie: -some1::-some2.

There were a few other problems. The version number in the mpide version.txt included some additional text that prevented Visual Micro from finding a valid version number. So it assumed 101 which is the version number of Arduino 1.0.1. Some of the libraries you are using are designed for either new Arduino (since 1.0) which #includes "Arduino.h" or old Arduino (0022,0023) of which #includes "WProgram.h". Mpide uses old Arduino so the libraries need to be passed -DARDUINO=23 during compile.

In terms of library locations. Visual Micro is finding the same libraries that Mpide finds. You can see them if you click the Project in the solution explorer then on the top menu "Project>Import Sketch Library". Libraries in documents\arduino\libraries will appear on the user menu, and other ones found below mpide in various locations will appear on the Core menu. This is working in the current version of visual micro.

I wrongly thought that MpIde defaulted to a sketchBookFolder of mydocuments\mpide. I notice Mpide uses mydocuments\arduino by default. So it's possible that user/customer libraries won't of displayed in Visual Micro until you specified the optional sketch book folder in the Ide locations dialog. I expect this causes the confusion of user libs not being found.

Thanks again, it was great to really give ChipKit an in-depth test!

Hello,

I am running:

-Windows7
-Visual Studio 2010 Pro
-Visual micro :Jan 31th 2014 - Official release for MPIDE. 
- MPIDE -0023-windows-20130715

I did everything that was explain previously, I got it to work perfectly on MPIDE and ChipKit UNO32 for blink.pde just to prove that it worked. Then I tried "WiFiTCPEchoServer.pde" from Chipkit and I get the same error as before the upgrade. It works fine if I select max32 instead of UNO32.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Tim,

This is exactly the error I am getting. Sorry I'm new on forums, I'm not very familiar on how to post files or listing.

Yes I am using DWIFIcK.

Thanks

Tim,

Thanks a lot, everything is working fine. I guess there is a parsing message at the bottom, and the first time I did not wait for that to be all done. 

Thanks again
