	Hello ! I would point out two other small anomalies with Visual Studio Debug for Arduino M0 Pro : 1 ) The functions and DEBUG DEBUG coondition BREAKPOINT HIT COUNT are not working . It happens as if you do not put any conditions ... 2 ) The window DIGITAL PINS not moving correctly pin values from low to high and vice versa . you can see from the following to better understand Thank You Mario

	Hi Thanks for the questions 1) Your screen image only shows "Always break". can you confirm what hit count you set or show an image of the breakpoint properties windows in a configuration that does not work? The "Hit Count" integer field can be ignored, it is a default Visual Studio property. An alternative is shown in the expressions viewer (right click the expressions viewer list columns to see more column choices) 2) Please explain how have you enabled the digitalPin report? Have you used the project property or are you using the breakpoint "When Hit" {@DigitalReport} special syntax? I also notice the wrong number of pins are shown the the Zero, this is functionality that has not yet been tested and checked for the Zero, I suspect it is trying to use the Due pin layout. It usually takes a few months for new boards such as the Zero to be fully supported by the debugger Thanks

	1 ) Trust that nele other screens during debugging , options, breakpoints do not work .. 2 ) I've enabled the digital pin as " project property" 3 ) When will a new update for Atmel Studio ? You are able to debug it line by line with the buttons step into and step over and Run to cursor that are very useful to define the program a real debugger ? There will be a chance to see the internal variables of the micro ? Thank you

	Hi Mario, Sorry I do not understand your english but thank you for trying. The Visual Micro debugger is designed to replace Serial.print() and is useful for all Arduino boards that do not support debug. The Zero is new and has hardware debug which you can use if you do not use .ino files. However it is a new bard and still we can not buy them in Europe so there is little testing. Hardware debug without .ino uses native atmel studio projects which does not concern Visual Micro. You have jumped in with a Zero at the time when the technology is new and few people understand how it works. So if you want hardware debug you must NOT use Visual Micro or Arduino IDE. Best of luck with your projects
