I went to Atmel site to learn what's new in 6.2. I had a fast look, and found out there is a new Atmel-ICE that is supported by AtmelStudio. Could that mean hardware debugging for Arduino... that would be nice  Cheesy.

I can't speak for Tim, but chances are in AtnmelStudio 6.2, changes were done that impact VisualMicro.

Hi all,

There is a new beta that supports Atmel Studio 6.2

https://visualmicro.codeplex.com/releases/view/106554

Please also confirm that you can see the two new Arduino templates in File>New>Project. There are two templates, an empty Arduino project at the top level and a sketch with cpp example in the Visual Micro section. 

If you only use Atmel for private Arduino development then consider changing its default "save" location for new projects to your Arduino sketchbook folder (tools>options).

Look forward to hearing how it goes

Thanks for prompt reply!

Is that version 14.03.0301?
Using that one.
Can confirm the two templates mentioned.
However, nothing else appears; no Arduino toolbars, nothing under Tools, nothing in Tools >> Options.

In AS6.1 everything shows nicely.

I've uninstalled VM, rebooted, re-installed VM and rebooted again.
Running Win7 Pro, 64-bit.

Thanks.

Sounds like the installer has failed to add the path to the Visual Micro program files folder (with the dlls) to "tools>options>environment>addin macros/security>locations". You can add manually for now thanks

Thanks for the note. The installer was failing to add the path and there is a new 1403.03 RC version on the beta page https://visualmicro.codeplex.com/releases/view/106554

Tried the 1403.03 RC.
After installation and when launching Atmel Studio, both 6.1 and 6.2, this shows on screen:
"Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation."
After that AS hangs with the splash-screen.

Sorry! My bad!
Works like a charm now.

Thanks a lot!

Visual Micro 1403.03 RC works alright in both AS 6.1 and 6.2

The error mentioned above was my own fault. I did not close AS before installing VM.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thank you.

I encountered the same problem. It was resolved by this manual approach. Thanks!

Hi!
I have installed AS6.2 and VM 1404.01 and all is well, until I try to make a new sketch, or add an existing sketch, I get this message



I seems to have all menus and have also tried both Mega and Due board connected and not connected. The Monitor works fine.
I don't know how to solve this. Undecided
I have Win7pro 64, with 8Gbyte of Ram.
I have used AS6 extensively and I am a professional software designer, and have used Arduino for a while, and needs to move to more professional approach. 
I think this is very interesting idea and would like it to work. Cheesy
Thanks for an interesting tool for Arduino.

Hi,

Please download the installer to your pc.

Run the installer from your pc and click Remove

Then right click and run at administrator for normal install. 

Does that fix the problem?

Thanks

Yes, that worked fine.
However if I change solution without closing VS6.2, the watch window still points to the former solution.
So I guess that is a potential improvement.  Wink
This tool is an enormous improvement, and will change how to code Arduino a lot.
Thanks for a cool tool.

Do you mean the debugger still has knowledge of previous solution/project?

Yes, that's correct. The watch window still had the other projects variables.
This was ok, after a restart of the AS6.2.
