Build Configuration - Upload to specific port

Print Post  
Hello everyone,

I have four teensy 3.1 connected together over CAN.
My project has a define for a master module and for a measurement module. One of the the teensy is getting flashed with the master, all three others with the measurement define. 
After researching the build configuration options VM offers i could set up a build configuration for the master and the the measurement. This way i can easily edit my code and update the teensys. 
As all four teensys are connect to the PC i have 4 available com ports. 
Is it possible to define a specific com port in the "Micro General" Defines field for each of my configurations?

I know that the build property i want to manipulate is serial.port.num.

Hi,

The upload port is used outside of the build commands so the defines won't help.

Currently you can only set a port for each project but it wouldn't be too modify Visual Micro to optionally support an override per config.

I'll try to look at it during the next week.

Hi Tim,

Thanks for your dedication.
This would be a great feature!

For know i think i can do this with TyQT by Koromix https://github.com/Koromix/ty
A batch file with the commands for TyQT which uploads the appropriate firmware to all of my connected teensys. 
I can even add a Button for this in VS  Cheesy

Now i'm how i can streamline this even more. Here you wrote that the .hex could be copied back to project source folder. But i can't find an option for this in the VM settings.

Also I tried to compile with the msbuild command. It does run but doen't seem to get it right. I read somewhere on the forums here, where you said that you could compile the solution with the standart vs build makro.

Or you could have a special hardware pin or a byte in an eeprom to select between master and slaves. This way you could keep a single source code and have an automatic selection of the master.
I did this in my project, and this works fine.

Thanks for the input Robert. 
I will try it. Afaik that issue with EEPROM wipe on upload has  been resolved on the Teensy some time ago but i haven't used eeprom before... 
And i don't really know, how everythink works with the addtional code, which is just skipped everytime, as there are some timing critical stuff is going on.

@Tim did you get a look at the specific port for a specific configuaration issue?

Also should as far as you know the Batch Build function of visual studio work with visual micro?

My configurations compile fine each of them but not during batch build. The MSBuild cmd gives the same result.
Output from the Buildlog in VS.
Code

Hi,

Not done the port/config yet

If you have a non-arduino project as your startup project then visual studio will attempt to build your project as a windows program. That's the error you are seeing. Click "Build>Configuration Manager" and clear the "Build" option for your Arduino project.

If you have an arduino project as a startup project then visual micro will attempt to build all arduino projects ignoring the windows project.

It's not currently possible to have one build that builds some arduino and some other types of projects together although they can each be compiled individually regardless of type.
