Why won't my Intellisense work?

Hello,
I am trying to help out fixing Marlin firmware for my 3D printer.  I found VisualMicro and thought it would help me poke through the code.  I am very familiar with Visual Studio and have VS 2013 Professional.

But I must be a complete dummy.  I have Arduino 1.6.3, have installed the latest Beta of VisualMicro.  I am able to navigate the code, but I get no highlighting of #ifdef blocks, I do not get values of #defines when I hover on them.  Since Marlin is built for many flavors of printers and many different processors, the code is a nightmare to decipher without being able to identify parts that are conditionally compiled.  And I was hoping VisualMicro would help.

So, what am I doing wrong?

I tried your released version with Arduino 1.6.1 but saw no difference.

And by the way, I can build the code fine with Arduino, but it won't compile with VisualMicro.  But I would still like to just have helpful Intellisense so that I can navigate it to figure out what is going on.

Thanks in advance.

Well, I may have answered my own question.  The board I have is a Printrboard and that uses the same MCU as a Teensy++ 2.0.  If that is the processor I select, I get no highlighting.  But if I switch the processor to something like Mega 2560 then the highlighting works.

So, is this a bug in TeensyDuino or are you guys aware of it?  Any solution?

Thanks.

You mean it compiles in the modified Teensy/Arduino Ide?

Please see our Teensy page for Teensy info.

http://www.visualmicro.com/page/Teensy-for-Microsoft-Visual-Studio.aspx

Currently we support the Arduino 1.0.x version of Teensy but not the Arduino 1.6.x version. Teensy are making some improvements at the moment that will make supporting it in 1.6.3 easier.

OK, I guess I did not understand that you do not support the current Teensyduino.  Your web site referred to 1.21 which did not support Arduino 1.6.3 but the latest Teensyduino does.  I thought I was OK using that combination.

To answer your question, no it does not compile with my setup.  However, my biggest need was just to navigate the code, and by setting the device to Mega 2560 I can do that.  If you get the teensy thing fixed, I may even buy your version with the debugger Smiley.

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes there are a lot of significant version changes by all Ide suppliers at the moment so it is difficult for people to work out what is current.

Visual Micro does now support Arduino 1.6.3 and all custom hardware however Teensy currently breaks a few Arduino 1.6 rules and we have not had time to implement them yet. I also hear that teensy are driving some changes to the Arduino ide which will make it easier for them to produce more standard sources. So we will wait and watch for a couple of months before wasting any time with teensy for 1.6.1.

Teensy 121 and 122 work well with Visual Micro and the Arduino Ide 1.0.6. There is no benefit to you using 1.6.3

Thanks

Great just grab the zip. Don't bother with the installer. Then point the teensy 1.0 entry in the Visual Micro apps list to wherever you unzip teensy. Then use the teensy 1.0 option prior to selecting a board for your project.
