Upload issues

I have small issues getting Arduino sketches to load.
1. Using File Open Arduino always goes to directory of "examples". How do I change that? Usually "properties", but I cannot find the correct menu.
2.I can "load" the scketch but cannot debug it. Somting about "missing programmer". 
3. DO I have to do AVR solution or can I just "load" assuming I can get answer to item 2.
4. Like to open recent sketch on start-up. Is that possible?

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi,

"File Open > Sketch Project" will always position to the "Arduino Sketchbook Folder". You can configure the folder either in the Arduino Ide or in Visual Micro. 

In Visual Micro, click the list of Applications combo box then click <Configuration Manager>. In this window you can set the SketchBook folder for Arduino 1.0.x or 1.5.x etc.

You have ticked "Tools>Visual Micro>Upload using programmer" by mistake. Please un-tick this option for normal serial usb. tip: Programmers are additional hardware, you do not have one.

I am not sure I understand the question. You should be able to open a sketch then click debug>start.

If you use the standard Atmel Studio commands to open the Atmel Studio projects and solutions that Visual Micro automatically creates they will be added to the recent lists. 

Exampels of standard commands are "File>Open>File or File>Open>Project or File>Open>Solution.

Let me know if this does not make sense.

Tim,
I used "upload last sketch build " and got this error message 'Upload Using' requires a programmer. Upload cancelled.
I do have the COM port set and getting replies ( compilation) SO I am still doing it wrong. 
Not that if that matters for now , but how can I get as much as possible from the compiler - kinda of "verbose" option.
I did changed the sketches directory, thanks for that.

I find it interesting that Studio 6 reports much lower "dynamic memory" usage than the Arduino IDE does.

Hi,

1) An "'Upload using' requires a programmer" error

Please un-tick the menu item called "Tools>Visual Micro>Upload using programmer".

2)How upload works

Normally you would upload by clicking the green right pointing arrow on the tool bar or on the Debug menu "Start without debugging". All the standard "start" commands are overridden to perform an upload when working with an Arduino project. However "Upload last" avoids the recompile stage.

Thanks
