That worked fabulous, all fine up til now.ĭebugWIRE communicates with the target by toggling the Reset line very fast. The Arduino Nano I used for my first steps in debugging has a broken USB chip, so I had to rely on SPI for programming the chip. Since this was my first encounter with Atmel Studio I had some difficulties finding thoseĬorrect settings in Atmel Studio to use the ICE as programmer via SPI and as debugger via debugWIRE, respectively. Now I was able to attach my ICE to the Arduino Nano for the first time. For doing so I had to abrade the inner sides of two one row pin headers to achieve the correct distance of the rows. I found cable with 1.27 mm double row sockets attached and so only had to DIY the conversion to 2.54 mm In retrospect, I would refrain from this not so brilliant idea since adaption of the tiny 1.27 mm pitch sockets on the ICE to the more standard 2.54 mm sockets on theĪrduino is nearly impossible over here in Germany. To get hands on this Atmel-ICE without spending too much money I ordered the PCBA only version, no housing, no wires. Now we are ready to start debugging, but wait, we need a means for connecting the Atmel-ICE to the Arduino. Integration of Visual Micro into Atmel Studio 7 worked like a charm and after getting acquainted Visual Micro with Arduino IDE V1.6 I was able to compile the unchanged.

Somewhere buried in those pages of Visual Micro you find the statement “supports every programmer” so I downloaded the 45 day trial version and gave it a try.
Dealing with debugging Arduinos one will stumble over Visual Micro sooner or later and so did I.
How to use visual micro code#
Searching information on debugging an ensorcelled Arduino without garbling the code with myriads of println() statements, I put hands on an Atmel-ICE without doing much research on tools empowering this
