Hi,

I have just updated my Arduino IDE to V1.8.2, and have verified that I can successfully upload a sketch to my Adafruit Trinket 5V 16MHz board.  However, when I try the same trick from VS2017 and the latest VM version (1.1702.15), It fails with the following errors:

-----------------

Compiling 'FeedMe3' for 'Adafruit Trinket 16MHz'
Program size: 3,350 bytes (used 63% of a 5,310 byte maximum) (1.14 secs)
 
Uploading 'FeedMe3' to 'Adafruit Trinket 16MHz' using 'COM18'
Uploader started for board Adafruit Trinket 16MHz
Upload method will be: bootloader
Uploading via Bootloader 
c:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude -V "-Cc:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr/etc/avrdude.conf" -v -pattiny85 -c{upload.protocol} -PCOM18 -b{upload.speed} -D eedMe3.ino.hex:i"
The uploader returned an error
avrdude: invalid baud rate specified '{upload.speed}'
Toolchain reload complete

-----------------

Any idea what I'm doing wrong here?  I have 'Adafruit Trinket 16MHz' selected for the board, and 'USBTinyISP' selected for the uploader.

TIA,

Frank

Thanks for the prompt response.  Yes, as noted in my original post, I updated Visual Micro as well as the Arduino IDE

Using the IDE with verbose logging set, I uploaded a sketch to my Trinket, and recorded the log output, as shown below. However, I was unable to find anything that looked like an upload port speed.If you can find one, please let me know .

avrdude done.  Thank you.

What are you clicking to upload in the arduino ide?

It looks like you have the USBtinyISP programmer selected.

So in visual micro you can select that on the "vmicro>upload menu" and also switch on the "always use for upload" option on the same menu. then all the upload commands will se the programmer.

Does this help?
