Operation Issue - VS10

Hi

just trying to get Visual Studio 10 working with Arduino Mega 2560 and Visual Micro

My Arduino IDE is running from a sub folder on the desktop. I set the folder to the Arduino IDE EXE in the Visual Micro Plugin, then

In VS10: 

in the first (left hand) "Micro Apps" box I select Arduino 1.5x. (there is only the choice of 1.0x or 1.5x) 

Second box "Micro Boards" is disabled. I cannot select anything.

Third box has only 1 choice "COM4 - Arduino Mega 2560" which I select

So it seems to know that the Mega is there, and I can get the Serial Monitor to work , but menu items like Tools/Visual Micro/Programmers are disabled and there is no code window even if I open one of my .INO files

Can anyone suggest what is going wrong or what I'm doing wrong?

cheers
David

Hi,

The Arduino version numbers are confusing at the moment

1.0.5
and
1.5.6

This normally happens when you have entered the arduino.exe path for the wrong type of Visual Micro application Arduino 1.0.x or 1.5.x

So if you only have one copy of the Arduino Ide you should be clear about which version you have. (You do not say which you have)

If you open the "Tools>Visual Micro>Ide Locations" dialog clear the path of the one you are not using (you said you could see two) to avoid confusion. Then ensure the path is correct for the one that you are using. 

From what you have said I suspect you have Arduino 1.0.5 so need to select the Arduino 1.0.x option and set the Arduino.exe folder path

As noted, the serial ports list is unconnected to the boards list. The names you see for the ports are produced by the usb driver and have no relation to any information derived from the arduino ide config.

Hi Tim

You were right, version is 1.05
Have selected correct board. No go. Cannot open .ino.
Reset interface but no better. I'm thinking there may be something wrong with VS10 but no idea how to determine what the problem is. Do you have any more things I could try? In the meantime I have another PC and will try it on that... Thanks for all your patience so far...

Regards
David

Hi,

What do you mean when you say that you can not open a .ino file?

What are you clicking or trying to click and what error if applicable do you see on the screen?

Thanks

Oh I see thanks for the clear pics

Yes it looks like you are doing thing right.

I am surprised you do not see an error of some sorts such as a permissions error.

It could either be permissions related or the fact that you do not have C++ installed in your Visual Studio version.

1)
Can you supply an image of the files in the Test3 folder please.

2)
Can you also switch on tools>options>visual micro>user interface>trace and then re-start the ide. Post or email the output that appears after startup. (info[at]visualmicro.com)

3)
Confirm what version of visual micro is shown in tools>options>visual micro>version>version

4)
Confirm that only one Visual Micro entry exists in Tools>Addin Manager

Thanks

Ok Tim I'll try to answer each of your questions:

1)
Can you supply an image of the files in the Test3 folder please. - only one file: Test3.ino, has the following in it, seems to have been set up by VS10?

void setup()
{

  /* add setup code here */

}

void loop()
{

  /* add main program code here */

}

2)
Can you also switch on tools>options>visual micro>user interface>trace and then re-start the ide. Post or email the output that appears after startup. (info[at]visualmicro.com)

I've switched that on, will send trace later

3)
Confirm what version of visual micro is shown in tools>options>visual micro>version>version

When I ran up VS10 today it prompted me to download and install a new version of Visual Micro, which I did:
1.1407.10
(problem still exists)

4)
Confirm that only one Visual Micro entry exists in Tools>Addin Manager

Confirmed: only one is shown

Regards
David E
