| Sep 5, 2017 at 15:48 | comment | added | RubberDuck | @PhillyNJ in order to get Arduino support it uses the vMicro plugin. Unless I'm thinking of v6 and they added it native in v7. | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 15:46 | comment | added | PhillyNJ | @RubberDuck Atmel Studio doesn't use a plugin. It's built on the visual studio shell. | |
| Sep 5, 2017 at 15:45 | comment | added | RubberDuck | Atmel Studio uses the same vMicro plugin that VS does to get Arduino support, so there's literally no difference here unless OP is interested in doing "raw" avr development. | |
| Jul 7, 2017 at 9:35 | comment | added | Michel Keijzers | I use Visual Micro and my opinion so far is that it works better than Atmel Studio, which I cannot get to work so far (at least to compile something with libraries without any problem). | |
| Jul 6, 2017 at 16:32 | comment | added | PhillyNJ | Its not a plugin. Is an IDE built off the Visual Studio Shell. Its free. If you want to step up your game, use Atmel Studio and buy the Atmel ICE. IMO Visual Micro is junk. | |
| Jul 6, 2017 at 16:26 | comment | added | snappymcsnap | so I'm confused then, what is the benefit of this plugin if it doesn't support debugging out of the box? Not even println() statements? | |
| Jul 6, 2017 at 10:35 | comment | added | PhillyNJ | For debugging you will need a debugger like the Atmel Ice which uses debug wire and interfaces with the Atmel Studio. It's worth the money if you do a lot of coding. As for printf, there are tutorials on how to hook standard I/O into your code. The IDE is irrelevant that that case. | |
| Jul 6, 2017 at 10:19 | comment | added | snappymcsnap | How does debugging work? Are you able to attach to the process running on the andruino and step through it? What about print() commands, how are they outputted? Thanks! | |
