Hi GeeTee,

Thanks for buying the upgrade of Visual Micro. The forum and support is free for people who have purchased the upgrade and free users of the standard product. Support is provided on a best endeavors basis because the product is mainly free or at a cost that simply helps to fund a small part of the production costs.

Questions

1)
Is Serial.print() working? If not then the speeds are wrong, what speed is the code using.

2)
If Serial.print() works then we can assume the speed is correct so maybe the debugger is ON (and sharing the usb port). Switch the tool bar configuration combo box from "Debug" to "Release" (or "untick tools>visual micro>automatic debugging") and try the upload again.

Thanks

notes

If the usb port is needed for operation then the debugger can use a different serial port or software serial

When the debugger is on, it attempts to discover what speed your serial is working at. if it can't it defaults to 115200 unless you alter the MicroDebug>LocalSpeed project property. The speed it determines is shown in the serial monitor status bar.
