Hi,

I just installed Visual micro to use with AVR Studio 6.2

I am unable to compile, no matter if I choose external programmer or the arduino board itsel, I get an instant error 

Compiling 'BlinkWithoutDelay' for 'Arduino Uno'
Error compiling

Anything I should check?

Hi thanks for the email.

1)
Firstly please switch the tool bar from Debug to Release. Your email asks questions about debug but these can be answered later on. Yes it is possible to change the debug speed but Arduino 115200 should be the correct speed whatever you use. However before using the debugger you should be able to upload and use the serial in anormal Arduino project without issue.

2)
In my previous message I requested that you click "Build>Clean Solution" and then compile. The output you supplied in the email suggested this had not been done because only one file was compiled when a full compile should many files.

3)
Please also confirm the version number of Visual Micro in tools>options>visual micro>version>version


Thanks

Hi there,

Visual Micro is working okay with 1.5.7 for most people. 

However, we are looking into a report from another user who has other programs that use cygwin and have a windows PATH statement that points to a different version of cygwin that is supplied with the Arduino IDE. We suspect that if the upload fails your pc is trying to use the wrong cygwin version.

The cygwin was a problem when we first tested 1.5.7 so we added the arduino.exe path where the cygwin.exe is stored to the local process path. This worked well but appears to fail if windows is configured with a PATH environment variable for cygwin. It would be useful if you could confirm this to be the case with your pc and we expect to release an update that excludes global windows paths from the equation.

To change the debug speed you just need to change the RemoteSpeed project property which is shown here http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Debugging-With-Different-Por...

I hope this makes sense, thanks
