Problem after updating of VM

Hello,

After the last update of VM, the software upload to the processor ESP32 stopped working correctly… the SW is always loaded without an error message…

… but the processor sends only this to the serial line monitor after the reset: 
 
Opening port 
Port open V�
 
and then he does nothing at all. It worked well for me before the VM update. Even now, when I compile the same file directly in the Arduino IDE, the application works correctly.
 
Can you please help me with this issue? What do I need to set up in the VM to fix this issue?

I also attach a compiler message file.

Thank you in advance for your reply, Tomas.

Thanks for the report and the information.

Is this the same if you disable the Serial Debugger from vMicro > Debugger > Debug: Off ?

Hello,

It won't let me turn debug off at all...I can set Debug:Serial or Debug:Hardware, but I can't set Debug:Off...

Thanks for the report.

If you change to the Release Build configuration this will disable the Serial debugging, and it will re-enable when using the Debug Build configuration.

If you want manual control of the Serial debugging option, you can disable the vMicro > Debugger > Automatic Software Debugging (Release/Debug), then you can set the Debug option to Off or Hardware as needed, whilst still in the Debug Build configuration.

Hello Simon,

After disabling Debug mode the processor started working properly. When I connect it to an external serial line monitor, I see the messages to be sent. But now I lost the possibility to use the port monitor from the visual micro. How can we fix this?

Thank you, T.

The Serial Monitor can be opened from the toolbar, or from the vMicro > View Port Monitor button, further information about the Serial Monitor is below:
https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Serial-Monitor.html

This can also be set to Auto Open after an upload has been completed by enabling the vMicro > Upload > Auto Open Serial Monitor.

Apologies in advance if I'm misunderstanding the issue....

hello Simeon,

OK, the serial monitor now works. How about the debugger feature? must it remain off?

Thank you, Tomas

The Serial debugger, or Hardware debugger can be controlled manually now, from the vMicro > Debugger > Debug option.

When using the debugging functionality it is always recommended to be in the Debug build configuration.
