F5 continue on a breakpoint is not working (Read 2296 times)

	Hello, I'm attempting to debug my Arduino sketch in Visual Studio 2013 using the Visual Micro plugin. When I start VS, the debugger is paused on the loop() function. As per the "tip" in the Serial window, I send a character 'c' to force the debugger to continue. However, Visual Studio continues to stop at the loop() function. (Repeatedly pressing F5 or sending 'c' characters does not resolve the issue.) Is there a known workaround? Thanks! --Donn Morse

	Hi, You only need to use the 'c' if you the arduino was running and already at a breakpoint when Visual Studio is opened and debug started. So we only need to understand why F5 is not working. It might be that your sketch code uses the Serial port and has opened it at a different speed to the debugger expects. You can override the debugger speed but let's first see if this is true? Does your sketch code use Serial and if so then at what speed? Thanks
