Hello:
I'm using Atmel studio 6.2 with visual micro plugin. I am trying to use breakpoints. Watch window is stuck at "waiting for debug breakpoint data". Could anyone please help

Hi,

Did you read the debug docs on visualmicro.com and set the breakpoint "When Hit" {expressions} ?

Yes, I've added expressions at "When hit" it is working for main .ino file. I've defined some functions in C++ .h file. The break points in that functions are not working

Ok thanks

Does the trace show the breakpoint is being hit?

Just now I read in a thread that break points are supported in library files. is that true? if so is there any alternative way to watch the variables other than using serial.println()?

You made two questions...

1)
The c++ is not in the project but in a library and you want to debug it. You can do this by making it a local project library. To do that you can right click the project and "add a new library". Then you will see where to place local libraries. Copy the library to the project into the same location the new library has been created then you can debug. Use the small icon above the solution explorer to "show all files" (it's easier)

2)
Yes please read docs. The breakpoint "when hit" can contain messages and/or a list of {expressions} to watch. There is also an old youtube video which shows how it's done.

my library files and .ino file are in the same location.
\examples\GettingStarted\Cntrl.h
\examples\GettingStarted\GettingStarted.ino

Cannot we have breakpoints in .h files?

An arduino library is something different. You appear to be referring to normal project source code?

No .h files are not processed for debug but it's a consideration.
