Hi,

I am a long time user of Visual Micro for Visual Studio; I use it from about 2 years with Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Win7 Pro 64-bit and with many different version of Arduino IDE; in the past I developed and debugged successfully many Arduino sketches.

Suddenly some days ago it stopped working; it doesn't compile any sketch claiming for missing toolchain exes (g++.exe, gcc.exe, etc.), nonetheless them are present in the configured path; unfortunately I don't remember if this problem was caused by some installation of new software on my PC. If I use the orginal Arduino IDE all sketches compile perfectly whitout errors.

Enabling the "verbose" mode I noted that when Visual Micro calls the toolchain exes, it omit the quotation marks around the file name (e.g.: C:\Program Files (x86)\arduino-1.0\hardware\tools\avr\avr\bin\avr-g++ -c -g -Os -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wall -mmcu=atmega328p -DF_CPU=16000000L -MMD -DUSB_VID=null -DUSB_PID=null -DARDUINO=105 -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\arduino-1.0\hardware\arduino\cores\arduino" -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\arduino-1.0\hardware\arduino\variants\standard" -o \CC_ArduinoSketch.cpp.o"  \CC_ArduinoSketch.cpp"  -DVISUALMICRO_COMPILER_VER=1"

I suspect that the problem is related to the omission of those quotation marks but I am unable to solve the problem by myself.

Can I have some support about this problem?

Hi Tim,

I am using the latest version of Visual Micro (1.1401.26) with Arduino v1.0.5 and v1.5.5r2.

I noted that, nonetheless I configure the toolchain path using the Configuration Manager of Visual Micro plugin, if seems to be unable to find them because the intellisense doesn't work at all (all the basic Arduino functions/classes like pinMode of Serial are not recognized and appear underlined in red in my source code).

I also tried to reload the toolchain using the Tools->Visual Micro->Reload Tool Chains command but whitout success.

If there is some known compatibility issue with my Arduino versions and the Visual Micro plug-in, please say me what is the correct version to use.

Thank you for your support.

Regards

Hi,

The tool chain [path in options is an old setting and should be empty. We will shortly remove it from Visual Micro.

The version of Visual Micro you are using supports the version of Arduino you are using. Both should work well

Great. Please also update your email address because the one you submitted was wrong and your notifications are bouncing back. 

I found your alternative email which I used to forward your password to you on your university web site.

Thanks
