	I am trying to use VM on Viz Studio with an Arduino Gemma. I can upload a sketch using the arduino IDE but not with VM. It fails not funding the programmer id "arduinogemma". See output in attached file for errors and VM configuration. Thanks

	Hi, In the Arduino IDE are you clicking the normal upload button? If so then you are not using a programmer so in Visual Micro untick "always use programmer for upload) Thanks

	Hi Tim, I tried to do that, but then the system tries to use the com port listed to download. The Gemma however doesn't have a HW loader, so when you force it into the bootloader mode, it shows up as a USB connection, but not as a com port. In the IDE, if you select bootloader type Arduino Gemma, in fact the port is grayed out and it goes directly to the USB port. I'm thinking I am missing something? Rich

	Thanks for the report. This is fixed in the next release. The issue was the config properties for programmers did not have priority over the properties of the tool. Which means that when the gemma uses avrdude it specifies a different config file. With verbose upload enabled you will see the "device." property in visual micro points to a different location to what the arduino ide uses. The location should be arduinoIDE\hardware\arduino\avr/bootloaders/gemma/avrdude.conf

	Thanks Tim. Any idea when the release will be made public, or if there is a temporary workaround I can do via a text file edit? Rich

	It should be available over the next few days. you can use file>preferences>external editor in arduino ide then us it to upload. can leave the sketch open in arduino, it will auto-reload when you click upload
