Yes please see debugging with other Ports and Pins in the documentation

Visual micro is not really in beta. Install vs2015 community with c plus plus

Its the current release. You can have both installed

Sorry I didn't explain more.

Atmel studio is always a cut down version of Microsoft Visual Studio.

Atmel studio 6.2 is based on Visual studio 2010

Atmel studio 7 is based on Visual studio 2015

The real Visual Studio Ide is a different software product to atmel studio and is installed via Microsoft. (see our download page for more info)

You can either install AS7 or VS 2015 Community Edition with C++

VS 2015 also allows you to create windows, android and apple programs. AS7 uses a slightly older version so at the moment VS2015 and AS7 are a pain when installed together.

If you are using arduino 1.6.5 or older then AS7 might be a solution for you however it's not so stable as VS and updates often break extensions such as Visual Micro.

VS2015 caters for all Arduino versions and is currently more mature than Visual micro for As7

tip: VS2015 community is free, you must click C++ in the Custom setup options during install.

It's up to you which way you go. AS6.2 and VS2015 will exists well as two entirely separate programs on your pc. Both have their own version of visual micro so you will get to try old and new.

Hi,
now I installed VS2015 and Visualmicro, but I'll can't compile with ATmega 1284P

I'm using Arduino IDE 1.6.4

Program Code:

#include "ApplicationMonitor.h"

Watchdog::CApplicationMonitor ApplicationMonitor;

// An LED to flash while we can.
const int gc_nLEDPin = 13;

// countdown until the program locks up.
int g_nEndOfTheWorld = 15;

// number of iterations completed.
int g_nIterations = 0;

void setup()
{
	Serial.begin(9600);
	pinMode(gc_nLEDPin, OUTPUT);
	Serial.println("Ready");

	ApplicationMonitor.Dump(Serial);
	ApplicationMonitor.EnableWatchdog(Watchdog::CApplicationMonitor::Timeout_1s);
	//ApplicationMonitor.DisableWatchdog();

	Serial.println("Hello World!");
}

void loop()
{
	ApplicationMonitor.IAmAlive();
	ApplicationMonitor.SetData(g_nIterations++);

	Serial.println("The end is nigh!!!");

	digitalWrite(gc_nLEDPin, HIGH);   // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
	delay(200);               // wait for a second
	digitalWrite(gc_nLEDPin, LOW);    // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
	delay(200);               // wait for a second

	if (g_nEndOfTheWorld == 0)
	{
		Serial.println("The end is here. Goodbye cruel world.");
		while(1)
		; // do nothing until the watchdog timer kicks in and resets the program.
	}

	--g_nEndOfTheWorld;
}

Error compiling libraries
 

This looks like there is something not compatible or?

Ok, turning off digital debuger is like a workarround, but only half the fun

How can I create my "own at 1284p board" in visual micro?

Hi,
I had a quick look in the mithgty-1284p lib and it seems to me like it's already included.

Please check the lib here
