Intellisense doesn't work (Read 5693 times)

	I have installed visual micro plugin (ver 1602.20.0) for Visual Studio 2015. And I have found that Intellisense doesn't recognize an "Arduino-specific" keywords. I have created a new blank Arduino project and tried to type Serial.begin, but word "Serial" is undefined for Intellisense (see picture) I tried to close/open VS, switch Debug/Release, open "Blink" project - the same result. Could you please, advice me, how can I use Intellisense for arduino project?

	Hi, I suspect that you simply have an .ino file open and not a project. Please show the "Solution Explorer" in your screen shot so this is clearer. To test a new project simply click "File>New>Arduino Project" or "File>New>Project>C++>Arduino Project". This will create a valid project for you. Alternatively you can open an existing .ino with "File>Open>Arduino Project"

	Thanks. Which arduino ide version are you using? What happens if you switch to a different board in the list then back to the 2560 (intellisense refreshes?)

	I have used Arduino IDE 1.6.7. And nothing to changed in intellisense, when I change a board type or target type. It displays just a keywords listed in .Sketch3.vsarduino.h . And this file doesn't contains any mention about Serial object.

	Okay thanks. Can you please try to create a new empty win32 C++ project using "File>New>Project>C++>Empty/Win32" That will test that C++ is installed.
