Serial not declared in this scope (Attiny85 project)

Hello everybody!

I'm new in this community, so first of all, I have to say that I'm very happy of being part of this. Hello!

And now, my question: I've created a IDE project with target: Attiny85. When I try to build, the log shows me an error 'Serial not declared in this scope', which is logic, because Attiny85 has not a HW Serial Port. The main problem is that 'Serial' is not appearing anywhere on my code. In fact, the error is pointing to a code line which is completely empty... So I guess that Serial library is included in my project by default. The problem is that I don't know exactly where is the interface to exclude libraries from my project... It's kinda hidden menu for me right now...

Can anybody help me? I would be grateful. Smiley

PS: Excuse my english, it's not my mother language.

You can not use serial debug mode with the tiny. Please change the configuration name on the tool bar from Debug to Release.

If the problem continues please set vMicro>Debugger>Off. If it is already set to Off then select Off again.

OK thank you. It worked for me!

So it's not possible to debug with breakpoints even if I'm on Release mode, right?

Thank you!

You need to use Debug for debugging. 

The visual micro usb debugger uses Serial by default but you can override that to use the Transport=SoftwareSerial. Your mcu has little memory so that might not be a solution.

Alternatively you can use hardware debugging in atmel studio but you need to buy the appropriate hardware debugger.
