someone is using Arduino Plugin with Visual Studio 2015?

Projects Programming

Hello ,
I'm trying to use Visual Studio 2015 to work with the Arduino
and from what I have read I can use this to do debug and break points
it's seem like a great idea!

I have install everything like it said - but I can't run the code , I can't even see him
I can see the serial monitor
but when I do
file->open->arduino projects - blink.ino
it doesn't show me nothing on screen - doesn't open me any window

can someone help me ?

Thanks ,

If only it were even remotely true. The Arduino can NOT run a debugger that Visual Studio can do a damned thing with.

I have install everything like it said

Whatever it was that said whatever, I seriously doubt that it said that it worked with VS 2015.

"Visual Micro debugger plugin for Atmel Studio. I tried it more than a year ago, so please check this for yourself if in doubt, but at that time I did not consider this to be a real debugger. It dit not support stepping through the code and it was based on hidden code inserted into your program before build to communicate with the debugger."

so you are not recommend this ?

is there any other way to to debug (line by line) for the arduino?

Thanks,

I don't.

There is not ANY way. Being able to debug code requires a lot of modification to the code AND a way to communicate between the code that is being debugged and the debugger. The Arduino does not have a way to communicate with a debugger, so the compiler is not triggered to build debug-able code.

O.K.
thanks anyway !

I haven't tried it, but Visual Micro (http://www.visualmicro.com/) is an Arduino add-on for Visual Studio. I think this is a newer version of the project that Whandall mentioned above.

The debugger is not free, though, and it has some limitations (can step between breakpoints, but not single-step lines). Even without the debugger, the Visual Studio integration looks pretty good with full IntelliSense and project management.
