Want to Debug Arduino
Nov 13th, 2015 at 10:53pm
Print Post  
I have been using Adruino IDE to write code for Uno and Mega, for a few months and wanted to be able to work with a debugger. I had loaded Arduino 1.6. Now I loaded Atmel Studio 7.1 and Visual Micro, in that order. I can’t get the Upload Code or the Debugger (except Simulator) to work. At this point I am open to starting over. If I did not install the correct tools please advise what tools to install, and where to get them.
Thanks!

I used http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Getting-started.html as a guide. 
Atmel Studio from (web installer): http://www.atmel.com/tools/atmelstudio.aspx
And Visual Studio from: https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0cb4039b-4173-40cb-86ff-96522bee0...

The 232 should be added to the link, but the editor will not include it. https://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/0cb4039b-4173-40cb-86ff-96522bee0...

Thanks for the link. That's AtmelStudio 7.0 not 7.1, you had me worried Smiley

1.
Can you confirm if you have followed the first steps in the documentation or if not how you created or opened an arduino project?

2.
Confirm if you have the "Visual Micro" menu at the top of the Ide?

3.
A screen shot of the ide with a project open would be useful

Thanks

1: Yes I got past the first couple steps of "First Steps".
2: Yes there is a "Visual Micro" menu. (see screen shot).
3: I included a couple screen shots that may be helpful.
I created the project from a Sketch made with the Arduino IDE.
I also created and uploaded (to Mega 2560 board) another Sketch with the Arduino IDE. One that has "Serial.Print" functions in it. After opening the "Serial Monitor" under "Visual Micro" toolbar in "Atmel Studio" and running the code. The proper messages were display on the serial monitor. But the "Micro Project" toolbar is always "Grayed Out" and under the "Debug" the only option is "Simulate".
Sorry about the 7.1 thing, I need to proof-read. 
Thanks for you assistance, I appreciate it very much!

Hi,

Please follow the first steps guide in our documentation

http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=index

The "Create project from sketch" feature is an atmel studio feature that converts sketch projects to native c++ gcc. This is not a feature of Visual Micro and does not create or open a standard Arduino sketch which is why the options are disabled.

Thanks

Thanks! All is well. I was a little confused about setting and clearing breakpoints until I realized I needed to re-compile to make a change.
