Error when compiling arduino examples
Apr 28^th, 2016 at 8:22pm

I'm choosing the ArdunoISP example from Visual Micro Explorer with the board set to UNO. I keep getting the following error which is driving me nuts.

How do you use the example and avoid that error. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 with Visual Micro Pro version. I tried open orig and copy/open both have same problem

Yes, I initially had the error there as well but i reinstalled the Arduino IDE and it works fine. Just not working in Visual Studio 2013 for me.

Edit: I should add I think the problem started after adding the ATTiny85 board by URL from Manager Boards the URL I used for that was:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/damellis/attiny/ide-1.6.x-boards-manager/packa...

I've since removed that board but problem persists

Okay I think that part of the core or the tools remain. I will try to replicate but all combinations of toolchains work for me didn't break when uninstalling.

I think in windows explorer there is something below:-
C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Local\arduino15\packages\arduino\hardware\avr

You can remove the following folder (although it should work okay as long as nothing below the "avr" folder):-

C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Local\arduino15\packages\arduino\avr

After making changes to the boards manager arduino15\packages folder. Restart the ide or click "tools>visual micro>reload toolchains"

Thanks

I manually removed what remained of the ATTiny hardware and the compile error goes away. The plugin's browser don't seem to clean it all up when you remove it, no biggie now that I know that.

With ATTiny hardware removed I don't have compile issues. As soon as I add ATTiny back errors return in Visual Studio using your plugin. Same code compile's and runs fine from Arduino IDE.

Error compiling core

There is some kind of issue with the ATTiny hardware and your plugin, the bin folder the plugin is using for gcc does not exist, shouldn't it be using gcc supplied by Arduino IDE ? I did try copying the bin folder from Arduino install but got a bunch more errors then. Also the attiny folder is under packages/attiny not packages/arduino/attiny if that matters.

A couple of things to clarify.

Initially the report was the Uno failing with the ArduinoISP example but I suspect that was fixed after previously removing the partial toolchain for the tiny?

I don't think the ArduinoISP example will work with the tiny however I agree we have some path confusion.

Please switch on "tools>options>visual micro>compiler>show build properties" and then click build clean, then click build and email the output to info [at] visualmicro.com or post it here.

Can you also confirm that your arduino ide is clean and does not have any attiny definitions below "[arduino ide folder]\hardware". We should just be using a clean arduino ide and the board manager tiny package?

If you use windows explorer to change file structures then click the rescan button on the "micro explorer" or restart the ide.

Thanks
