	After upgrading to the new 1.6.4 arduino ide and the latest Visual Micro and recreating my VS project from scatch/scratch I can't find the ESP8266 board in the Tools ->VisualMicro(ESP8266)->Boards list. Also the esptool vanished from the : Tools ->VisualMicro(ESP8266)->Programmers Needless to say that I get many errors like(see below). I have no problem in compiling the program with the new arduino IDE 1.6.4 ********************* One of the errors: "{runtime.tools.avr-gcc.path}/bin/avr-g++" -c -g -Os -Wall -fno-exceptions -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-threadsafe-statics -MMD -mmcu=atmega32u4 -DF_CPU=16000000L -DARDUINO=164 -DARDUINO_AVR_YUN -DARDUINO_ARCH_AVR -DUSB_VID=0x2341 -DUSB_PID=0x8041 -DUSB_MANUFACTURER="\"Unknown\"" -DUSB_PRODUCT="\"Arduino Yun\"" o" " -I"C:\Users\ico\Documents\Arduino\libraries\Base64" -I"C:\Temp\arduino-1.6.4-windows\arduino-1.6.4\libraries\WiFi\src" -I"C:\Temp\arduino-1.6.4-windows\arduino-1.6.4\libraries" -I"C:\Temp\arduino-1.6.4-windows\arduino-1.6.4\hardware\arduino\avr\libraries" -I"C:\Program Files (x86)\Visual Micro\Visual Micro for Arduino\Micro Platforms\default\debuggers" -I"C:\Users\ico\Documents\Arduino\libraries" pp" -o pp.o" The system cannot find the file specified

	Using 1.6..4 is new. Arduino provide a new boards manager which we have added to the micro explorer. You.need to get a url to a board def so the esp can appear in the boards manager. Its not our system you.can read.more on arduino.cc or esp forum.. If you don't want to read then use the esp ide with visual micro like you did before Thanks

	Oh I see you are probably using the wrong app option in visual micro. Ignore the esp8266 and configure using the arduino 1.6 option. Thanks

	Pps. There is no eptool.programmer. Just normal upload, they changed the 8266 to be more normal and removed the programmer. So untick upload using programmer. http://www.visualmicro.com/page/esp8266.aspx
