Breakpoints in separate file aren't being hit? (Read 2472 times)

	Hi, I have a main .ino file and a separate code file (with a .h extension) where I define a class and some class methods that are called from the main .ino file. It appears that breakpoints in the main .ino file are hit OK, but ones in the .h file are not, even though the program obviously executes that code. Am I missing something? TIA, Frank

	I've got the same problem. Debugger works in main .ino file only. Btw, putting definitions into .h is bad. Use .cpp instead.

	But it does not work in .cpp. I make it work only in main .ino file.

	It works in project cpp but maybe you are talking about library or core cpp?
