Hi

If your sketch is using the serial port at a speed other than 115200 you will need to set this speed in the project properties LocalSpeed

If you are using the default debugger then you will need to switch the tool bar from Release to Debug

Thanks

Hi,

Please switch on tools>options>visual micro>compiler>show build folder

Then upload with debugging (F5)

After the upload the "Micro Build" output window will contain the location of the build files.

Please zip the [sketch name].cpp and email to info[at]visualmicro.com along with a zip of your sketch folder including the Visual Micro sub folder that will have been created below the sketch folder.

Thanks

Files emailed.

Thanks for the 2nd image which shows the debugger is running and waiting for you to press F5 to make it continue.

The first screen shot shows the debugger started, hit one break point and continued.

Both screen shots show the debugger is running, the debugger trace has activated and populated and the expressions window has opened but you have not yet set any expressions to watch.

One thing to watch out for which has not affected you in these images but worth mentioning is that Arduino doesn;t like too many serial print statements on top of each other. I notice you set a break point on your own serial.print debug statements. This is not recommended.

So I am sorry if I am missing the point but I can't see anything wrong?

Your report is:-

But your screen images show you are already debugging your RFduino????

Hi,

Okay so the question is how to view expressions and variable values while the debugger is running.

Arduino does not have a debugger so Visual Micro injects serial print statements into a temp copy of the program prior to upload. For this reason it has to know which variables you want to watch.

You will find a whole bunch of useful articles in the documentation section which will help you also understand how to format the data if required.

Here is one article that shows how to build up the "When Hit" with variables/expressions and/or text messages. 

http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Debugging-Explained.html

The text messages are not compiled onto the Arduino so will not consume vast amounts of memory.

You will also see how to add conditional or timed breakpoints.

Ok so I did as you said and to no avail I still am unable to see the variable values. I am beginning to think that the serial.println is maybe worth it compared to the time I have spend trying to resolve this problem.

Relieved 

Hi,

Please use the Documentation link at the top of the visualmicro.com web site.

The documentation is new and not fully linked on google yet but our web site is really where you should look anyway.

This is one useful page but there are 8 pages in the debugger section

http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Working-With-Breakpoints.htm...

On visualmicro.com there is also a link at the top called Debug Arduino. The page provides a link to this debugger youtube video that is also of help although slightly out of date and shows the "advanced users" view of switching on debug but the rest is the same.

Having said this, the documentation is new and improving all the time. The funds earned from the debugger are pay for it.

The reason why I mentioned the personal license is that you bought the personal license (for individual/private use) but should have bought the commercial license (for commercial business's that make profit)
