No project properties window, no digital/analog readout

I have Visual Micro installed in VS2008 Pro V9.0.21022.8 RTM with .Net 3.5 SP1.  I am using an Arduino Uno clone.  I have the paid version of the USB debugger.

I can run a program in debug mode on the Uno, and I can see my Serial.print() statements in the Serial Monitor window.

The documentation talks about being able to see the state of the analog and digital lines, but I can't see anything that will allow me to enable this feature.

Also, when I right-click on the project in the Solution Explorer (not the solution - the project) tab and select 'Properties' - I don't get anything like the dialog shown in the documentation.  What I get is a generic VS2008 dialog, not the one specialized for Visual Micro.

What am I doing wrong here?

Regards,

Frank

Hi Frank,

That's a different properties window. That is actually called property pages but we need the project properties tool window

You right right click the project and click Properties or follow this guide.

http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Project-Properties-window.ht...

Once you find the properties you will be able to switch on the visualizations but they are broken (do not show the debug data) in the current release of this month. The beta on the downloads page contains the fix.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply, but I had already found the referenced procedure and followed it correctly.  That's what I meant by "(not the solution - the project)" Wink.

I'm pretty sure I paid for the optional USB debugger - is it possible I didn't get it installed correctly (or at all)?  How would I tell?  I can see I have Visual Micro for Arduino installed, and the License status in 'Tools/Options/Visual Micro/Application Features' says 'REGISTERED' but that's all.

Regards,

Frank

Hi,

Ok, your install and config is fine this is just an issue with clicking the right thing on the screen.

Please post a screen image of your ide with the project selected in the solution explorer

Thanks

I have attached the screenshot you requested.  I get the same dialog with 
- Highlight the project and click the 'Properties' icon
- Highlight the project, right-click and select 'Project Properties'
- Highlight the project and press ALT-Enter

Regards,

Frank

Oh sorry, in VS 2008 it is highlight project and press F4 or "View>Properties Window"

I'll update the docs

Thanks

Yes if you want the graphs when the debugger runs. I can recall if the fix is in the last release.

If the digital and analogs do not show anything then install the beta
