Hi, I'm having an issue where the serial monitor window allows me to send characters to a Leonardo USB device but does not receive characters using Serial.print.  The Arduino IDE serial monitor is able to show characters from the device so it is only the Atmel Studio + VisualMicro serial monitor that has this issue.  I made a 2 minute video showing the problem.  In the video I was using a slightly older version of VisualMicro but just installed the latest version and still have the same problem.

When uploading via VisualMicro the Leonardo USB device switches to COM8 and then back to COM7 as expected, and I am able to send characters to the Leonardo (it's RX led lights).  When I disconnect from COM7 in VisualMicro and open the Arduino IDE serial monitor (also on COM7), it begins showing the serial output as expected.  I've tried adding delays before calling Serial.begin, adding delays before sending characters, added { while (!Serial) } in setup(), and other various tricks but still no luck.  So any help would be appreciated, thank you!

PS I am loving VisualMicro, really nice work!

void setup()
{
	Serial.begin(4800);
	while (!Serial)	{;} // Wait for serial port to connect. Needed for Leonardo only
}

void loop()
{
	if (Serial.available()) // Sending characters to the Leonardo works
	{
		// This output never shows in the VisualMicro serial monitor and the TX light on the Leonardo never flashes.
		// It does flash when disconnecting the VisualMicro serial monitor and connecting the Arduino IDE serial monitor,
		// and also the output appears as expected.
		Serial.println(millis());
		delay(2000);
	}
}
 

geez weak sauce, I guess they didn't really want help...write some demo code, post a video, and for Pete's sake turn on the stinking notification people

I tried the release mode compile and upload, then the baud rate change in the serial monitor and code, but still no dice.  However, to my surprise, after restarting Atmel Studio with these changes in place, and doing another compile and upload, serial output started flowing in.

So I've purchased a license and thank you again for this great extension and the support, well done!
