Hello,

I am having issues wit the serial port in visual studio.

using a MEGA the serial port works fine but with both of my pro mico's i see no data in the serial port.

i tested it with the arduino editor and i get output data. so i was wondering if something is wrong with my setup.

this is without debug enabled, project is set to release. 

Edit:
I noticed that the way it programs the micro is different. It seems to connect to a different serial port. i was wondering if the way the serial port works is also different than other arduinos.

Sketch uses 7642 bytes (26%) of program storage space. Maximum is 28672 bytes.
Global variables use 386 bytes (15%) of dynamic memory, leaving 2174 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 2560 bytes.
Forcing reset using 1200bps open/close on port COM4
PORTS {COM1, COM4, } / {COM1, } => {}
PORTS {COM1, } / {COM1, COM3, } => {COM3, }
Found upload port: COM3

COM4 was the port it is connected to

So this code does not print out anything in VS serial window for the micro.


void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println("Test");
}

It does however work for Mega

Ok I have been testing a lot, and it seems that i needed enable RTS. witch the mega does not need. 

what does that setting do ?

I dont remember changing it. do it default with a new project ?
if so then it is probably set wrong.

Thanks for trying to help i appropriate it!
