I installed Visual Micro, a plug-in for Microsoft Visual Studio, to debug a program that will go on an Arduino Mega 2560. Using the tradition Arduino IDE (Version 1.6.2), the Arduino Mega properly runs "Blink." When I use Visual Studio, I get the error: "Intellisense was unable to establish any hardware (boards). Please configure the ide locations." I have double checked the file path to the Arduino IDE is correct, but continue to get this error. I have also included a screenshot of the error after I build the program. Does anyone have an idea why this is not working properly?
Did you try to select "Arduino Mega /w ATMega2560 (Mega 2560)" in the combo between "Arduino 1.6" and "COM8" ?
[EDIT] just read Visual Micro website :
"news 29th march 2015 - visual micro does not yet support Arduino 1.6.2. You can download Arduino 1.6.1 or earlier from here"
You are using 1.6.2 !
