Dont use DTR in serial debugger

Is there a way to toggle off the usage of DTR in the SER debugger, so that it does not cause a reset on the Ard UNO?

Thank you.

Yes "project>properties>micro debug>Startup delay or dtr" = False

It defaults to true. Then you can control the Dtr setting manually using the Dtr checkbox on the Serial monitor.

That's right. The debugger always resets when the serial monitor opens/debug starts unless the dtr is off.

However be aware that with it off the Arduino can be at a break-point when the debug starts yet the debugger won't know about it. There is a change due to allow the debugger to auto detect this state. 

If you encounter this state you can send the letter 'c', using the serial monitor, to force the arduino to continue.

thanks.

can you please make the upgrade process within VS 2012 - show me the changes in the code that you want the IDE to upgrade to so that I can decide each time the IDE tells me that there is a new version - then I can view the WHATS NEW and decide if I want to upgrade. 

Otherwise as it is now, I have no idea what the upgrade (seems to be upgrading every few days which is anoying) does for me.

thanks

Well it takes a lot of time to make the software and the main web site and the gallery page. All of which also have links to the Release Notes

So please try to look for these things rather than assume they are not there

And if you look at the news that flashes at the top of this forum page you will also see the link to the release notes.

Thanks

I am suggesting that the link be right imbedded in the VS 2012 upgrade page in the IDE so that the decision can be made there.
