Redbear Duo with Visual Micro

I tried:

http://www.visualmicro.com/page/Configure-RedBearLabs-for-Arduino.aspx

but could not get the Redbear to show up like the RfDuino does. RedBear does show up in my Arduino 1.6.9 IDE.

Any help appreciated.

Bill

This was a bug in Visual Micro for any hardware that defined a single platform as opposed to multiple (such as avr/sam)

You should see an update in  VS in a few days

I downloaded the latest release today. Installed the RedBears Labs boards. The nano and others show up but the RedBear Duo still does not show up like it does in the Arduino IDE. Any idea what am I doing wrong?

I think I see what the problem is. The url with all the boards:
https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Unofficial-list-of-3rd-party-boards-supp...

Has this link:
https://redbearlab.github.io/arduino/package_redbearlab_index.json

The link for the Duo boards is in:
https://redbearlab.github.io/arduino/package_redbear_index.json

but not listed.

I've found the issue was because the boards array in the package wasn't an array but a single board.

The board shows now and compiles okay so I will produce a release probably later today.

However it will be useful if you can raise a ticket on the redbear site to ask why the crc32 hook runs painfully slowly (5-10 secs) unless the quotes are removed (0.1 secs) from the "{compiler.path}"

I agree that there should be quotes because path names can contain spaces so the question is why do they cause such a long delay.

btw: I tried running my tests (using the verbose compiler output) outside of visual micro from the command prompt.

Code
Select All
## Add CRC32
s}/sh" "{runtime.platform.path}/tools/crc32/{runtime.os}/crc32.sh" "{build.path}/{build.project_name}.bin" "{runtime.platform.path}/tools/crc32/{runtime.os}" "{compiler.path}"
 



Thanks

I will post a comment on their forum now with a link to this thread.

I also sent an email directly to them.

I think I managed to get the intellisense working well enough and hopefully the debug also works.

Please try 1606.11 when you get a mo.

I still see some intellisense errors in the "Error List" they can be filtered out but an indication that more work is required.

I want to move to using the new Visual Studio Clang system asap. That should remove the need to mess with the intellisense for each major architecture change and also give a better result.

Awesome!!

I can now see the RedBear Duo in the boards dropdown. Loaded one of my projects and it compiled. When I get to work tomorrow morning, I will test the debugger and post the results.

Thank you very much for the quick turn-around on this.  Grin
