VM doesn't seem to upload to my Arduino?

Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate, Windows 7 64 bit, VisualMicro 

http://www.visualmicro.com/page/How-to-compile-and-upload-to-an-Arduino-using-Vi... says:

Quote:
To recap, all of the Visual Studio "build/debug" tool bar buttons, "build" menu items, "debug" menu items,  right click context project menu and keyboard shortcuts provide compile and upload for Arduino. For an example then press F5 in Visual Studio or Atmel Studio.


Yet this is not happening on my installation.  The sketch compiles, but no indication is given that it is uploading.  I can change values in the sketch (in this case, a number of steps for a stepper motor to take) and the arduino/motor's behaviour does not change.   

If I copy/paste the code to the Arduino IDE, and upload, it compiles and uploads fine, and the motor's behaviour changes as expected.

I am able to open the serial monitor in VisualMicro, and communicate with the Arduino fine...I can send commands, query status, etc.

It simple seems that the sketch does not ever upload when using VisualMicro.

Hi,

Can you please switch on tools>options>visual micro>compiler>verbose, then post the last few lines of the output that appears after an upload attempt.

Thanks

No, I can not.  Those options do not exist in my Tools menu.

Tools -> Options gives :



Tools -> Visual Micro gives :



Neither offers any way to get to a "Compiler" section.

It looks like your 2010 ultimate has just about nothing installed for it  Smiley Actually I have never seen such a small set of Visual Studio options. What did you un-tick during installation?

Arduino is C++ so you certainly need C++ but we also recommend C# as stated in the system requirements

Here is a pic of my VS 2010 Ultimate Tools>Options, we see a much larger list. The Visual Micro entry is added by the Visual Micro installation and loads from the same configuration file that allows Visual Micro to load.





Please also show a complete screen shot of your Ide. Thanks

Okay looked like you just installed vb. Best of luck anyway  Smiley

I did tell you in your other post about express that you needed C++ installed. The intellisense and a bunch of other stuff will not work without it. Arduino is C++

The version of Visual Studio Ultimate shown above is not Visual Studio Ultimate, did you download it from the Microsoft web site?

In your previous post about express some other users recommended Atmel Studio because it is free.
