This is a modified version of the code made by Timothy and it's under GPLv2 License. This project is intended to work with LSDJ, Nanoloop and mGB.

But I believe this may be due to the library not having any comments on its functions as to the first party Arduino IDE does not show the comments on function inspection.This project is meant to make a functional Arduinoboy with boards that mounts ATMega32U4 chips (Eg: Arduino Leonardo, Arduino Micro, Sparkfun Arduino Pro Micro).Īs stated by myself and by various users around the web, the code made by Timothy Lamb (aka Trash80) works only on Arduino devices that has the ATMega168/328 chip (Eg: Arduino Uno, Arduino Mini etc.).

With my experience developing Java in Eclipse, I expect more documentation on the various functions. In order to test the USB connection, I uploaded the blink led tutorial to the Arduino.ĭeveloping in Visual Studio 2012 seems to work well with the Arduino. To the extent of my knowledge, the debug/release builds are identical for the Arduino. There are two ways to run the project, either pressing F5 or clicking on the green arrow. Under the Tools > Options > Visual Micro, set the “uploading using” to false.Įnsure that the correct serial port is selected. When using an USB cable or serial cable to program the Arduino board, the programmer option needs to be disabled. Then fill in the Arduino installation path under the Arduino Application option. Under Tools > Options dialog, click on the “View all settings” on the bottom left hand side to show the Visual Micro settings. In my current setup, I use an Arduino Uno revision 3 board with a USB cable to communicate with the board. For students, the Visual Studio 2012 IDE is available as a free download through the DreamSpark website.Ĭurrently the Visual Micro installation offers the basic installation overview for version 2008 to 2012, but if a developer is not familiar with Visual Studio, the installation instructions may be a bit confusing at first glance. Although the Arduino IDE works, it lacks functionality that a polished IDE delivers such as code completion or formatting. Visual Micro is a plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 through 2012 that allows us to develop for Arduino boards.
