"serial debugger was delayed" when using debugger inside .cpp

Hello,

I'm only a couple days into Visual Micro myself,  purchased a license yesterday and I am running into a significant bit of frustration with not being able to stop at breakpoints I set. Im getting the exact same message as the original poster.

Coming from a .NET/Java background I'm not understanding why I cant trigger breakpoints? Do I manually need to present the breakpoint an action?  You mentioned he needs to debug on a different port? How can this be done ?

Sorry for so many questions, but I use quite a bit of OOP in my code and I really need breakpoints to work when reaching out to a new classes Sad

I have disabled all of the Serial.Print statements in my code in order to get this to work, but Im still recieiving the message.

Any help would certainly be appreciated!!

Thanks!

I have split into a new post so that we don't annoy the person who created the post you selected to join.

The debugger should stop ar breakpoints. One question is if you are using serial.read in your code?. The reads are the issue for "break/stop"

You should not try to compare to .net debugger. Arduino has tiny memory. You have not said which board you are using so it is difficult to comment on the best debug option.  The serial debug is a simple replacement for serial.print debug statements and gives a number of other benefits. However it is not a windows debugger. Some boards support hardware debugging which then uses the standard windows debugger with live step/watch etc. but it can be slow and restrictive. There are plenty of options you just need to say what you are using.


tip: usb debug on shared port: Serial.print/println() is not so much of an issue, read() is a problem unless using trace only.

Can you confirm same issue in simple new sketch with breakpoint in some .ino code?
