Intellisense is generally working, but some of the built-in Arduino specific commands are showing red underlines as not being recognized.  Some examples are pinMode, digitalWrite, Serial, F
It compiles OK though.  But the red squiggles are kinda annoying and I don't like all the false positives.  Is something not configured right or is a file missing?

Out of the frying pan, into the fire.  I 'fixed' the Intellisense problem and created a new one.  I think this is a Visual Studio issue and not directly related to VisualMicro.  (or more accurately, a stupid user error )

I looked at all the intellisense errors, and a few were that the command/keyword was not recognized.  Most of them however, like for pinMode, was something to the effect that it had several overloaded methods and couldn't figure out which one I was referring to.

Well, I clicked something, and all the Intellisense errors went away.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure what I clicked on that did it!  (I think it was just the 'Clear All' icon)  And now I have a new problem:  When I compile and get errors, it no longer shows me what the actual error message is or what line it is on, but does still show the line itself and what procedure it is in.  Example below:

Compiling debug version of 'trafficLight' for 'Arduino/Genuino Uno'
trafficLight.ino:In function 'void loop()
:EEPROM.writeInt (eLocLastNight, minutesRunning)
:EEPROM.writeInt (eLocHalfNight, halfNight)
trafficLight.ino:In function 'void lostPower()
:EEPROM.writeInt(ADDR_USER_DATA + eLocLastNight, minutesRunning)
:EEPROM.writeInt(ADDR_USER_DATA + eLocHalfNight, halfNight)
trafficLight.ino:In function 'void stackEm(unsigned int)
:EEPROM.writeInt(ADDR_USER_DATA + eLocLastValidNight + i*2,EEPROM.readInt(eLocLastValidNight + i*2-2))
:EEPROM.writeInt(ADDR_USER_DATA + eLocLastValidNight,newVal)
Error compiling project sources
 

 

Boards I'm using are Arduino Uno and Mega, Arduino IDE is latest I think, 1.6.8, and VisualMicro is latest I think 1.1603.20.

What did I inadvertently turn off that I need to turn back on?

Did you try the update with the improved and working error messages?

Some chipKIT boards might need more testing. I assume you are using the chipKIT core as opposed? 

Let me know which boards fail in threads when you come across them.

Thanks for the update.

I have Arduino IDE 1.6.8, and probably the latest MPIde as I just re-downloaded it recently.  Also just got the latest Visual Micro a couple days ago.  Will check out your URL above, and report back soon with more specific error messages.  The ChipKit Uno32 is not a big priority for me right now though.  I am more concerned with the issue that I can't upload to a lot of my various Arduino clones in Visual Micro.  Get a timeout.  They all work with the Arduino IDE though.  Will get you more specifics on that soon as well.
