Arduino using Visual Studio

Workshopshed

Here's a free training course from Microsoft about using Visual Studio with the Arduino

I'm not sure of the licensing implications but there does seem to be a free download of Visual Studio Community edition

  • Another brilliant piece of software for programming Arduino's and the various derivatives is Visual Micro.  The basic version is free and runs under Atmel Studio (certainly version 6.2) or Visual Studio.  microsoft Visual Studio community edition is free.  If you want the debugger package with Visual Micro then there is a charge but it is still extremely cheap for what it can do.  Visual Micro (VM) adds loads of functionality to the basic Arduino IDE like 'intelisense',  better code highlighting, trace where functions are used etc.  I am only a beginner in programming but VM makes like so much easier.  The code developed in VM is totally compatible with the native Arduino IDE and can be opened and run in that IDE if desired.

    Naturally increased functionality adds to the learning curve but it is easy to get started and there are some good tutorials on line.
