Hola!
Today again is Visual Studio extensions Friday. Today extension is a great one: “Visual Micro for Visual Studio 2015“. There is an update for this one today, and this weekend is going to be some Arduino work, so let’s go for it.
I’ve written several posts about Visual Micro. I’ve got be honest: if you work with Arduino and Visual Studio, it is the best combination ever. If do not know you the description of Visual Micro it would be as follows:
Visual micro is a free Add-In for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008-2015 which allows you to develop, compile, and upload Arduino projects in any Arduino board. The extension allows you to uses the same libraries than the traditional Arduino IDE, and yu must add all the advantages of working in Visual Studio IDE : Intellisense, compilation on 2nd level, code with GIT or TFS management, etc.
Finally, and as a special consideration. The full experience of development for the Arduino environment is completely free, if you use
– Visual Studio Community https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs.aspx
– Micro visual http://www.visualmicro.com/
Another interesting feature in Visual Micro is the ability to debug Arduino projects. This makes it a very original way, and in any event I mentioned how it works. Important, this feature is not free.
Well, if you want more information I recommend you visit the home page of the product, and if you have an Arduino by hand, because you can change your IDE and use Visual Studio.
Enjoy your weekend!
