Hi there
I'm having an issue with getting the debugging working on my own arduino mega project.  After endlessly going through the serial connection settings i decided to check if it was working on one of the example projects, so i followed the tutorial that used the blink without delay program, and debugging worked first time, however i still can not get it running on my own, larger project. some points

- my project is split up across various .ino files
- i am using serial 2 and serial 3 in the project, but have left the standard serial unused
- my program compiles and uploads from visual studio no problem
- i have an interrupt driven routine for reading serial data

I have attached the zipped project directory any help on getting this working would be much appreciated as it is doing my head in at the moment!

thanks

Hi there

Arduino mega 2560

Just using the standard USB/serial port for debugging

Like i said i can get it working with an example project, but not my own larger project, so pretty sure its not a hardware issue

Good Suggestion, hadn't tried that so gave it a go tonight
and the answer is yes, can definitely receive data from the arduino to the computer on serial, compiled and checked on
1. Standard Arduino environment
2. Visual Studio in release mode
3. Visual Studio in debug mode

but unfortunately still no debug results?
