	Hello, I use Visual studio 2017 with the visual micro plugin. I like to add a new board, Arduino Uno r4. However in the Visual micro explorer, there is no board manager, see attached file. What am I doing wrong? I don't see a update for visual micro in VS 2017

	If you select the "Board Manager" tab (your screenshot is on the Installed Tab, which only shows boards currently installed), you should see under the "All Platforms" tree node, there is the "Arduino UNO R4 Boards" package. If you left click this it will install the board package, and then click the Rescan button at the top for them to show as available on the Installed Tab or the boards list on the Toolbar/vMicro Menu. board Manager Documentation: https://visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Board-Manager.html

	Thanks for the update, and apologies for not seeing that. Can you confirm what version of the Arduino IDE you are trying to use Visual Micro with? The out date Arduino 1.7 selection you are using expects the boards to be installed from the Arduino IDE and not in Visual Micro.

	Hello, I found the board manager. However I do not see the Arduino Uno R4 under the mentioned all platform tree node. Why?

	Does clicking "Check for Updates" help? Please confirm which version (if any) of the Arduino IDE you are trying to use.

	One option is to install the board through the Arduino IDE itself, then restarting Visual Micro should pick it up. Alternatively you can upgrade the Arduino IDE to the 1.8.x version, and then configure the IDE Locations in Visual Micro for that IDE, the board should show up automatically in the board manager tab. If you want to use the Visual Micro (No IDE) configuration in Visual Micro, then you can add the below URL to the IDE Locations screen (at the bottom of the screen, under optional board manager urls), which will allow it to pick up the same packages as the 1.6/1.8/2x versions: https://downloads.arduino.cc/packages/package_index.json
