Visual Micro offers the flexibility to function as a standalone environment or in conjunction with other IDEs, including the Arduino IDE. This page provides convenient links to popular IDEs and USB driver packages. Additionally, Visual Micro allows for seamless installation of toolchains and libraries through its built-in Board Manager and Library Manager.
To simplify the process, we have mirrored the respective manufacturer downloads on this page. However, you can also directly download any supported IDE from the manufacturer's official website. Visual Micro seamlessly integrates with these IDEs in the background, enabling the discovery of additional toolchains, cores, and libraries. Please note that using an IDE alongside Visual Micro is optional.
Rest assured that all downloads provided here are genuine and unaltered. They can also be obtained directly from the original source. We are proud to offer full support for Arduino 2.
IDEs
NOTE - The the Windows Store App Arduino application is NOT supported.
tip: Teensy currently only supports specific versions of the Arduino IDE, shown on the Teensy Installer.
NOTE: As of Q3 2022, Teensy can be installed using board manager.
The Teensy installer prompts for the location of an installed Arduino IDE during the installation process (also available in this video)
Drivers & Driver Tools
When using an External Hardware Debugger, additional WinUSB drivers may be required to allow this hardware to work with Visual Micro.
When these are required is detailed on the vMicro Debugger Support page.
