Hi,

Thanks for the post.

When you say infinite loop do you mean the board just keeps rebooting? setup then loop?

Please switch the tool bar from "debug" to "release2 or untick "tools>visual micro>automatic debugging"

If that fixes the issue the problem was probably a breakpoint in an invalid location but I will explain more about that after you confirm if that was the problem.

Thanks, please also confirm which version of Arduino you have installed and which board you are using.

Thanks for the info.

I think this is possibly just some confusion. Hopefully you are using the Arduino 1.0 option in Visual Micro?

1)
VS intellisense is entirely separate to compile. So you can ignore what VS says is correct or not. We will address the intellisense issue when we have solved the loop.

2)
Visual Micro handles the compile fully. VS does not have any connection to it so you should have the same problem in the Arduino Ide. You can see the exact compiler commands by switching on "tools>visual micro>verbose" and "arduinoide>file>preferences>verbose compile"

I suspect that the code you are using in Visual Studio is slightly different to to the Arduino ide. I can tell you that if you append to a string so that it becomes larger than the assigned amount of memory then the arduino will crash and appear to be in an infinite re-start loop.

Please try the identical code in the arduino ide.

Thanks
