Can't get Atmel and visual micro to work??

Hi All,
         I'm new here and here's my first post, like many I long for a better IDE then the Arduino one. I started with Picaxes some years back, poor basic but a very good IDE, still that was then. 

After a couple of go's at installing Atmel Studio and Visual micro, nothing worked? or at least I could'nt get it to work, which I am sure is me!! So a good clean up and a re-install seems to have least go them working.  I also followed the on line instructions..

But pressing F5 or F7 produces the same failed result...
Even trying it with Blink13 fails, so somewhere I must have something set wrong, do I need to be bothered? by the debug or relese settings?  I have of course checked the board type settings and com port, perhaps I am missing something.

Hope someone can point me to the error of my ways, here's the message from the output window.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay.

Do not be concerned about debug/release at the moment. 

The error is a compile error and suggests we might have a config issue. 

It is not an error I have seen before so let us look at your config which should hopefully show the issue.

Please switch on Tools>Options>Visual Micro>Compiler>Verbose and Tools>Options>Visual Micro>Compiler>Show build properties. 

Then email the output after an attempted compile to info[at]visualmicro.com

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the info.

It appears your sketchbook folder is wrong User\Mel\Mydocuments\Arduino

I suggest you remove the sketchbook folder from Visual Micro config because it is optional and will default to the correct location.

Alternatively if you set your sketchbook location then please set a valid path. An example of a valid path will be something that starts with a drive letter followed by a colon. User\Mel\Mydocuments\Arduino is not valid.

Thanks

Hi Tim,
                And many thanks for your reply, much apreceated, It did the trick! I now have my skeches at C:\Arduino. The simple stuff like blink13, etc compile and load without any problems, but if I try a sketch that has an #include lib, that fails to compile? as I assume it can't now find the LIBs folder, which is in the folder with my sketches?? is that right? This is what the output window seems to be saying. This time it's a Nano, but simple blink etc was a Uno. No looking more carefully it's only the LCD-i2c lib it can't find......

Must go back and investigate!!

Thanks and Regards

Mel.

Hi,

Does it work in the Arduino IDE?

Thanks
