Hi~
I can upload in the release mode but when I switch to debug mode there are some error.My board is pro mini.
I added a print screen.
Do you have an idea why the debug mode doesn't work ?
Thank you for your help.

Hi,

If the board is supported, which the pro is, then this normally means there is a syntax error in a breakpoint "when hit" or "condition"

After you see the error the output window should give more detail.

Please copy and paste the out into an email and send to info[at]visualmicro.com

Hi,

I have attached the screen image you emailed.

MultiWii appears to redefine and remove standard Arduino Serial functionality. If this is the case your option is to use something like SoftwareSerial for debug instead. 

If your mcu has enough memory you can configure Visual Micro to use software serial for debug. Read more here http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Debugging-With-Different-Por...

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

When I import the SoftwareSerial library there is a error like this.

I don't know how to deal with it.

Thank you.

It sounds like the software you are using can not use softwareSerial.

Maybe you can ask for information on the multiwii forum or give me a link to download multiwii and I will look at what it supports

Thanks

MultiWii is a general purpose free open source project to control flying RC models.I use it to control my quadrotor.

I can't find similar questions in MultiWii forum and you can download it in this page http://www.multiwii.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page#Download ;

Thanks

Thanks, I have known of it for a while along with APM from diydrones.

Both of these projects are excellent but evade most of the standard Arduino.

The one problem I have with both projects is that it is very difficult to quickly see what to install to make an Arduino Ide on windows work. If you can save me some time and tell me what I need that will help Smiley

Thanks

I don't know much about APM but for MWC you can just download the project and open the MultiWii.ino in Arduino IDE then you can use it like other Arduino project.

I don't know if I understand what you said because my English is not so good.

Thanks for your patience Smiley.

The project does not compile without configuration settings. I do not have time learn them.

Please attach a zip with your configured project and tell me which board you are using?

Thanks

Sorry I forgot you should uncomment some lines in config.h to use it properly.

I can't upload the whole project because it is larger than 250KB, so I just attach my config.h and you can replace the original one with my file.I think there will not be any error more.

Thanks
