Arduino Extension by VIsual Micro

the Arduino Extension to Atmel Studio by Visual Micro is pretty sweet!!
i am not sure if its old or new because i never checked out the extension manager before

Remember earlier i posted i was having trouble switching IDE because of some AVRDUDE error and was having to use tinyISP
well now with this extension added to my Atmel studio

I can program in an Arduino enviroment , meaning upload to the boards without use of a programmer in Wiring language , also i just point it to the Arduino libraries and its all there
has buttons for the serial monitor to pop up as well as a frame with the online documentation and example code for the libraries etc...

I just like it because now i can use the arduino enviroment and avr c programming all in one IDE. just thought i would let you know, i know theres a couple of you who use Atmel studio.

I'm using VM with VS2008 at present and that's pretty good. I'll be installing AS6.1 shortly and will then start using that instead. All in all I find it to be a pretty good system and a gazillion % better than the IDE.
