debug breakpoint not found

Hi,
I am using VS2008 Pro, Arduino 1.0.4, Uno Rev3. Using simple analog read program to test the debug (trial version). Following  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg2xgvQUlLA 

When I press F5, debugging starts but can't see the variables. The variable status displaying window says "Waiting for debug breakpoint data". Sounds like the debugger is not recognizing that the breakpoint is already set. 

Please suggest

One possible reason is the debug serial port is set at a different baud rate than the sketch:



Change the baud in the Serial port window, you may have to uncheck/check the connect box.

Hi,

If your sketch uses serial then you either need to do what Dennis describes or alter the project property called RemoteSpeed to the same serial speed you have used in your project.

However it is more likely that you just need to watch the youtube video on the debugger page.  The video shows how to use the breakpoint "When Hit" message to identify the variables and expression that you want to watch.

If you have not used the "When Hit" message to identify your variables then you will see a window that says "Waiting for debug breakpoint data" but there will be no data to receive.


Thanks

Dennis, for some reason, the video went private!
