Hi,

Fair question

You are right that you do not need =? as shown on the debugger overview page and youtube video

The debugger overview also includes this page which explains how you can elect variables to allow values to be update/modify during debug using =?

The yellow items below have =? set allowing you to click end edit the values which will be applied the next time the breakpoint is hit when in trace mode or immediately during break/pause




Thanks

Hi Harpster,

Confidence to change

The Visual Micro plugin ensures your Arduino development in avr studio remains fully Arduino compatible. You can be assured that it is possible to switch back to the Arduino Ide and your sketch will still compile.

You might be concerned of the additional files created in the sketch folder by avr studio and also the Visual Micro sub folder that is automatically created. None of these items are used for the compilation, you can delete everything that is not your own sketch code and Arduino will continue to work. What this means is that avr studio does not alter your sketch code.

Formats

We want to add better support for formats but you can do this now ... 

The debugger uses Arduino serial, wifi etc. and the data formats supported are the official documented Arduino syntax such as:-

Serial.println(myVar,DEC);
Serial.println(myVar,HEX);
Serial.println(myVar,BIN); 

So Visual Micro allows the same syntax in your "When Hit" expressions

{myVar,DEC}
{myVar,HEX}
{myVar,BIN}
