I have written a test application and I can debug that application with no problem. But when I try to debug my real application I get the following error:

'MicroDebug' was not declared in this scope

Can some one please help me???? I am ready to purchase the Visual Micro plugin but I need to get it working on my real project first, thanks in advance.

I am running Visual Studio 2010 Professional, Arduino 1.04, and the Current Visual Micro dated Thu May 9, 2013 at 3:00 AM. I have activated the 30 day trial also.

Thanks for the quick response, and yes I have verified that there is not blank line between setup and the curly braces. Yes I have 3 breakpoints but since I can't get my project to compile and upload do the breakpoints even matter?

Note: If I disable Micro Debug by setting Enable Debugging to None. My code compiles and uploads with no problem.

Correction I just realized that the breakpoints were only in the test code and not my real project sorry for the error. Do you still want me to follow your instructions?

I noticed that the mega2560 build folder contains the actual source code files too, what do you actually need?

Hi,

Thanks for the zip.

Please remove the arduino.h include from your source code and then attempt to compile with the Arduino IDE.

Please tell me if that works or fails??

Info

The problem is that the Arduino.h and the visual micro debugger are automatically added as includes just above real code (non-includes). This is how Arduino works for the arduino.h, even without the debugger. The system does not handle #if defines very well which you have used extensively at the start of your code.

I notice in your code that both the arduino.h and vm debugger includes have ended up inside the check for #if SCREEN, so they are not automatically included when SCREEN=0. I see you have added arduino.h manually possibly to get around a compiler problem for the same reason?

Notice that the arduino.h has been included before the first line of "real" non #define code.

#if SCREEN
#include "arduino.h"
#include <VM_DBG.h>

void toggleHardwareCc1101ReceivePkt();
//
//
void printUpDown();
int heartRate = 70;
int prevHeartRate = 70;
int val = 0;
#endif
 

Considering the complexity of the #defines and conditional includes within your code you might find that declaring a simple variable such as a uint8_t where you want the includes to be placed would solve this problem. Or even consider changing your code to this for a quick fix. In the following case I would expect both visual micro and arduino to place auto includes just above myDummyVar

uint8_t myDummyVar;

#if SCREEN
void toggleHardwareCc1101ReceivePkt();
//
//
void printUpDown();
int heartRate = 70;
int prevHeartRate = 70;
int val = 0;
#endif
 

Thanks
