Hello After getting my license key reset I tried to open a existing  arduino project and I get a error "unable to open project in visual studio". I messed with some stuff and now I cant see in file /new project any "arduino " project. Do I just need to reinstall visual micro?

Don't know haven't heard of that.

I suggest uninstalling visual micro via tools>extensions and updates, restarting the ide and then run the install again. restart the ide and see if it is fixed.

If not it sounds like the c++ install for vs isn't there or working so maybe try a repair.

A screen shot of the error might show something. It's not related to adding the license key as far as I can tell. However you can switch off/pause licensed mode in tools>options>visual micro>system>pause pro features then restart the ide.

OK,

      I got VisualMicro to show up in the Atmel6.1 IDE. I still can not open or create new sketches. I get the error message
" Unable to create an adrunio project for atmel studio"

Please advise.

Hmm, we better step back a bit.

What do you mean you are using Atmel Studio 6.1?

Well I tried to attach a screen shot and I also tried to save the version info. in a text file but that did not work. If I go to Help/about it says Version 6.1.2730 SP2.

Hi,

Atmel studio is free and changes dramatically each time so little point in supporting older versions.

There are two visual micro gallery entries for Atmel Studio.  One for As6.2 and one for AS7.0. 

7.0 is the current version and AS6.2 uses an older version of Visual Micro that is semi-supported. It's mainly for users who can't upgrade to Atmel Studio 7 for hardware reasons.

If you plan to use the latest Arduino IDE's then you should also be using the latest Visual Micro because arduino also change things.

You can see how fast everything moves by the Visual Micro release notes

I suggest uninstall the older addin version of visual micro using control panel>add and remove programs.

Then if your hardware allows, install atmel studio 7 and then use tools>extensions and updates to install visual micro.

I recommend atmel studio 7 because then you can be on the latest visual micro version and more importantly the newer  "tools>extensions and updates" system makes installation of plugins less prone to problems.

The "Open object file for debugging" doesn't work for me in as7 but I am about to release a new version of visual micro for atmel studio 7 which allows one click "build and upload via visual micro" > then seamless launch of the Atmel Studio Debugger. This provides a better solution to "open object file for debugging"

nb: The breakpoints directly in .ino files won't work in the first version but you will be able to step into the [project_name].cpp from the build folder (confusing but useful).


Otherwise install AS6.2 then install the older Visual Micro plugin version

OK so now Im getting some where. I open Atmel Studio 7 I see the vm in the tool bar. If I open the Visual Micro Explorer In red letters it says "invalid ide locations" So I clicked on configure, I put the path where arduino is located,but I still have the red error message. How do I fix this?

OK I have this sorted now. I had to select arduino1.6. If I try to open or create a new Arduino project. So I really didn't get anywhere. I will just stick to the Arduino IDE.

OK I am up and running. I installed VS2015 Community and then went to tools/extensions and updates and installed VM from there. Thanks.
