When compiling my code, there is theI've got Visual Micro installed in VS 2012 and Atmel Studio. It consists of a circuit board, which can be programed (referred to as a microcontroller) and a ready-made software called Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment), which is used to write and upload the computer code to the physical board.I am using Visual Studio Community 2015 with the newest version of the Visual Micro Arduino Plugin, however I also tried compiling my code in the Arduino IDE. Arduino is a prototype platform (open-source) based on an easy-to-use hardware and software.
This sample sketch will get a number from the Arduino IDE monitor and determine if it is between 1 and 100. :)Sample P1AM Arduino Program with Operators. I am a total noob, however, to Arduino, and have been doing all kinds of successful things using the Arduino IDE.

Great, how do I get Visual Micro to do the same? Arduino IDE makes this INSANELY easy by just dropping it into your libraries folder, and the files that maintain proper folder structure "just work". I cannot figure out how to reference external libraries.
Except my downloaded external libraries. It even shows things from ALL available libraries as I type. Intellisense is AWESOME. Why? (again, with Arduino IDE, they "just show up" when you drop them in your Arduino folder) But my external lib examples don't show up.
If I open an Arduino Sketch (mentioned above) and then close it, it asks if I want to save changes. Has no idea where the included header resides (cannot navigate to declaration, nothin) Open this same sketch in Visual Micro. Opening an arduino sketch in Arduino IDE that includes a header from an external library works fine.

Surely it is possible, else this plug in would not be pitched as "100% compatible" with Arduino AVR/IDE. Most everything about Visual Micro is awesome, but I just cant figure out these most basic things. Where are some good tutorials on that?I've watched several videos, read through several forums.
Arduino Undefined Visual Micro >= 100 Registration Requests Has
We hope to see your reg request if you have not already made one.1) You will see intellisense for all sources including core and libraries. It is impossible for us to monitor a large forum such as this for ad-hoc requests which is why we provide the Visual Micro forum. We have recently started to sell the debugger option which brings in a small amount of revenue but everything else has been provided free for many years and as such we avoid too much extra work on behalf of spammers :) You will read on our site and in the forum that response to visualmicro.com new registration requests has been slightly slowed this month due to some unique factors. Actually we get about 20 spam requests for each 1 real member so we use a system where by you apply via the registration page on the forum. I believe a kitten just died somewhere.I am sorry you found the forum registration a pain.
The path should normally be automatically discovered by Visual Micro from your Arduino Ide configuration, however, it has possibly been overridden and is pointing to the wrong location? (or we have a bug that has not been reported but it would be an obvious bug that I would have expected to have been reported by many others)Do you know how to see and change the Arduino SketchBook folder path in Visual Studio?Below you can see the config options that specify which version(s) of Arduino you are using, where they are installed and what sketchbook location you optionally want to use. Without this option VS or Atmel will perform exactly like the Arduino Ide2) If you can not see your libraries in the explorer or on the menu item "Project>Add/Import Sketch Library" then the SketchBook Folder path will be wrong in the Visual Micro options. (Click the menu item again to remove the additional sources). This additional option is for more advanced users, does not affect compilation but simply brings the sources from the libraries and core directly into the project.
I keep getting this error:Error: TimerOne.h: No such file or directoryTimeOne is the library i'm trying to get working but yeah, Visual Micro does not seem to be picking up new libraries added into the libraries directory. I'm having the same problem with trying to load in an external libary.I added the library to Arduino\libraries and it does not seem to be getting found by visual micro. I use it with the free atmel studio and absolutely love it.Question, since there seems to be a Visual Micro guy in here. You will see there is also an Arduino 1.5.x option availableHi! I downloaded Visual Micro and have been using it for a couple of days and it is A BAJILLION TIMES BETTER than the Arduino IDE.
You might not like Microsoft products but we do, so please stop wasting our time with abusive spam. This includes all Arduino library formats and possible storage locations.If you can please join the forum where I provide support and will ask you a few questions and confirm you have installed correctly.Tim Hey we have hundreds of thousands of happy windows users who have a really great Arduino compatible build environment. The user who opened this thread was trying to do something different to Arduino so the issue is different.Yes lots of users are hapilly working with Visual Micro and Arduino libraries. Nothing seems to be workingThanks for your message and positive words.It's a different question but same end result. I restarted the atmel studio, the computer, and pressed the "reload toolchains" button.
