Hello,

This problem started up recently. When I try to compile my program, I get this error:

Compiling debug version of 'NoiseMeter' for 'Arduino/Genuino Micro'

Error compiling core
 

I'm also seeing an issue in the code itself. Built-in Arduino Functions (Like digitalWrite, pinMode, etc) are showing errors where the IDE isn't sure where the functions are located.


I'm not sure what caused it. Awhile back, I installed the new Teensy Software... and I think everything worked fine when that first happened after some initial confusion. 

Anyhow, I've had so much trouble I've uninstalled the Teensy-modified Arduino IDE, and done a fresh install of Arduino 1.6.8. I've done the latest update of VisualMicro, turned off deep search (just to be safe) and rebooted Visual Studio a few times. I've re-loaded the toolchain and double-checked my IDE location settings, and everything seems ok.  I've tried using the clean build feature, and no luck. 

Any help appreciated!

Ah, sorry that would be helpful:

Visual Micro Version 1603.1.0
Visual Studio Version 11.32202.0

I'm running on a Mac in a VM of Windows 7. 

Also, this may or may not have an effect: I recently wanted to try out Sourcetree, and I installed it... but I haven't dropped any plugins into the VS.

I've also noticed some small red checkmarks next to the .ino file, the vsArduino.h file, and the Project file at the top. Hovering over it, it says "pending changes" indicating the file was edited externally at some point I guess? I don't think I've done that though.

I'm not seeing it in my list. I do remember when the change came a bit back, I was pretty sure I uninstalled the older version.

I'm running a repair of VS Community 2015 right now. I may even completely uninstall/reinstall later tonight if I'm still struggling.

Ah! That got it I think. I had a prompt to update my hardware definitions.

Sometimes I forget that I need to check against the Arduino IDE in Win7, not OS X.
