Thanks for the image

1)
What happens when you click "tools>visual micro>reset user interface"? Can you then restart the ide without multiple serial objects?

2)
What is the full version of atmel studio that you are using? help>about

3) a minor question?
Why are you using atmel studio and not visual studio 2013? The esp8266 is not atmel hardware Smiley

Thanks

1) yes, this reset the interface, but changing architecture and restart AtmelStudio, recreate other serial Object, and Now recreate also serial speed and mcu clock object

2) AtmelStudio 6.2.1.5.6.3 - SP2
-  VisualMicro 1.1505.19 - SP6

3) Normally i use Real hardware debugger, Atmel-ICE, on Atmel project, so i prefer have only one ide also on micro where i cannot use Hardware debugger

Sounds like you don't need Arduino Smiley

I suspect that another addin or extension is conflicting. Visual Studio 2015 has fixes for this by discontinuing support for add-ins. We will soon produce an extension instead of an addin so conflicts can't happen.

You can use "file>open object file for debugging" to debug an arduino build.

yes i know, i use this way on AtmelStudio+Visualmicro also

If I undertsand your tip is use VisualStudio2015 free edition for all visualmicro project (so Arduino+Esp), and only when I need hw debug i can use    AtmelStudio ?

I "born" whit Arduino, after i try to explore a little bit under, whit hw debugger  Wink
I hope that you integrate the hw debugger support on VisualMicro, whit the ArduinoZero the debug is directly on the pcb  Wink
I know that you sell the sw debugger and that it is you "money", but the people that know what is a debugger hw, and how it work is very limited, and this kind of people do not reduce your money on the sw option.

Hi,

Thanks for the info.

No I do not recommend VS2015 yet. Visual Micro is not yet available for 2015 but it will be in a few weeks.

I recommend VS2013 for ESP8266 etc.

I want to integrate to the Atmel debugger but the fact that we use .ino files is a problem. I plan to support .cpp only projects (no .ino) files then it will be a bit easier to integrate to the atmel debug system. However there is still the problem of how libraries are discovered so we would also need a way to handle them that atmel is happy with.

Atmel are producing an Arduino conversion tool which will convert arduino projects to native atmel projects. This is how they plan to support zero debug. I am not sure how good the converter will be, after it is released I will review what is or is not required.

You can build with Visual Micro then use "file>open object file" which will give you a solution to use with debug but it's a clunky system. I am also reviewing how the process might be automated so there can always be a native atmel solution which is a fixed copy of the current arduino project.

Multiple objects on bars

On the boards options tool bar. Try to "right click>customize" and delete the bar then reset the interface.

If that fails one not so good way to at least contain the problem is to force the reset every time the ide starts by editing the short cut you use to start the ide. Add the /resetaddin command as follows....

[path to atmelstudio.exe] /resetaddin Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.Helper

Very good, we await news on this  Smiley

If i delete the bar Arduino Boards and reset, when i start AtmelStudio automatically is added the Arduino Boards.

It is strange that this start after the esp8266 core installation, do you think it is my atmelstudio corrupted, or it is a bug on visualmicro ?
Are you tried to install esp core ? this is the BoardManager link that i used (i used it inside Arduino ide, not inside visual micro board manager function)

Hi

If missing then the bar is recreated when you click tools>visual micro>reset user interface

yes, for now i do this at every start of AtmelSTudio  Cry

Arduino 1.6.5 is officially supported or we will have a new VisualMicro version?

Hi,

Thanks for the update. 

1)
Did you add this to your atmel studio shortcut?  It means you do not have to reset manually every time. It performs the reset when atmel loads.

Code
Select All
[path to atmelstudio.exe] /resetaddin Visual.Micro.Visual.Studio.Arduino.Helper



2)
With the new boards manager Visual micro is not very reliant on the Arduino version. 1.6.5 is supported
