Cannot build

Hi, new to Arduino IDE but not Arduino or programming.

I have a problem. I installed everything quite easily and loaded a pre-existing project, which compiled without problem. However after a reboot of my computer, the build / upload buttons are now grayed out and I cannot find any way of re-enabling them. All directories etc. are set correctly in setup, I cannot see anything wrong.

Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

Hi,

Visual micro will only be active for arduino projects. so please check the following rules:-

1) The project folder contains a .ino of the same name
2) The project name and .vcxproj file in the project folder also have the same name as 1)

Does this help?

Hi, thanks for getting back to me. I checked everything and it all seemed OK, but I had moved the directory from a network to a local location, and it seemed that this wasn't liked by the software. After deleting all of the visual studio project data, reloading the arduino sketch, and starting over, all seems to be OK.
