	Hello, I did not find this problem on existing topics, so I added this one: I'm launching a "start without debugging command". No problem with the building of the sketch, but then the uploading on my arduino m0 pro board fails because it doesn't find the .bin file?? With arduino IDE 1.7.6 from arduino.org the sketch is uploaded without problem. Maybe my problem is that I configured Visual Micro with arduino 1.6? 1.7.6 is not proposed in the list, and m0 pro needs 1.7.6 IDE. I also tested to program a uno board with the same sketch and this works fine?

	Hi, Arduino.org ide is not supported because they have used a stupid version number that is confusing. Arduino 1.6.5 is supported if you use the board manager to install the standard Zero core published by Arduino.cc Maybe the arduino.org uses the edbg programmer which, in Visual Micro, is on the "tools>visual micro>programmers" menu Please also look in the build folder to see if the bin file is there. Thanks

	Well, of course I checked the folder, no .bin file is there, but I have .elf, .hex .map .cpp.o and .cpp file. In tools/visual micro/programmers i have "M0 pro programming port", "atmel studio device programming" and "atmel studio atmel ICE ISP". I tried with M0 pro programming port but have this answer Compiling 'ihmlcd' for 'Arduino M0 Pro (Programming Port)' ld.exe:warning: section `.bss' type changed to PROGBITS Binary sketch size: 28 756 bytes (used 11% of a 262 144 byte maximum) (1,53 secs) Uploading to I/O board using 'M0 Pro Programming Port' Error during upload using programmer MCUPreference property not found: program.pattern The uploader returned an error In the previous post, I did not select any programmer in tools/visual micro. Unfortunatly, m0 pro is not supported by 1.6.5 an zero core from arduino.cc not distributed in Europe . Are there no solution to accomodate with what you call there stupid version number? thanks!

	The problem with the version number is that for Arduino 1.0.x is one type of system, 1.5.x is another and since 1.6.2 there is a third. These version numbers are very important and arduino.org tried to be clever by telling the world they have version 7. However they used an older version of the arduino ide from before 1.6.2. So the word stupid applies correctly because this is an internal dispute between arduino.cc and arduino.org that should not be transferred to you or me. I will try to take a look at arduino.org this weekend to see what it is doing but no promises and I only have a genuine zero to test with.

	Are you sure 1.6.5 does not support the zero pro. I think Arduino.cc relaxed the rules. Did you try it?
