Hi,

Please switch on "vMicro>Compiler>Verbose", "show build properties" and "show build folder" to see the actual build info.

After attempting a build with these settings please copy the output and paste into a new .txt file using windows notepad.exe

Then email to info[at]visualmicro.com along with a link to this post.

Thanks

C++ but it only affects intellisense, does not affect the building/compiling of arduino programs. 

If you were using arduino 1.8.2 which was only released a few days ago then you need to upgrade visual micro as there has been a new release.

The previous version of visual micro supported arduino 1.8.1 and below

Did you email the information requested above?

Oh sorry it was in my junk.

Looking at the output you have sent I can see you have done some configuration work to relocate downloaded packages to   a special location. 

I can also now see (or it looks as if) that you have used board manager to install the arduino avr 1.6.17 core.

You do not need to use board manager for Arduino avr boards such as the Uno. Doing so actually causes you to fall behind when you upgrade the arduino ide.

Because I can't see you file system I am not sure why you are encountering the error but I think we can assume that your arduino 1.6.17 downloaded core is only a partial or incorrect core.

I suggest deleting it so that we use the avr that is always pre-installed with the arduino ide. 

Delete the following folder then restart the ide

C:\1Drive\workspace\Arduino\_Vmicro\packages\arduino

I also generally don't recommend overriding he contributions folder in the options. It means you end up with a different configuration to the arduino ide which can be confusing unless you fully understand and can communicate the difference  when requiring for support.

If you want more control over downloaded content the arduino ide can be installed from the zip on the aduino web site into your workspace. Then create a folder below the ide called "portable". Both visual micro and arduino will use it for downloaded contributions.

Alternatively leave the contributions path empty so the default it used.

Does it work in the arduino ide?

Please set the tool bar to Visual Micro and not Arduino 1.6/1.8

I think there is a problem with the older boards in board manager that use an old tool chain. It conflicts with the new tools provided with the arduino ide. 

If you just use Visual Micro and Board Manager to install everything you need it will be okay. We will look at supporting both the ide and board manager in future release but you don't need it anymore. Just use the Visual Micro option instead of the Arduino 1.6/1.8 option

Okay so that probably means you haven't installed an Arduino AVR tool chain in the Board Manager. Install the latest which I think is 1.6.17, then click rescan.

The output you emailed to me was for the arduino uno.

Hi,

Please try the latest version of visual micro from here

This release better manages the situation where a board core was designed for an older toolchain which is not installed but a newer or similar tool chain can be found. 

Thanks

Thanks for the email. 

You have said that installing hardware using the visual micro board manager has caused some issues because some files were not installed.extracted. That using the board manager in the arduino ide resolved the issue.

Can you please tell me which hardware you were installing.

Thanks
