Debug Arduino Uno using Microchip Studio

The Arduino Uno is easy to debug:
During developement we use an Xplained Mini Board, which provides real hardware debugging and is available at low cost.
From now on we use this IDE: Microchip Studio.
Alert: With version 7.0.2542 the name "Atmel Studio 7" has been replaced by "Microchip Studio" - the functionality didn't change.

Not sure why I'm only now seeing this. Thanks for making this video. This will help me debug time-critical interrupts, unlike COM port solutions.

Great instruction, really stepping up from Arduino IDE. Thanks from Spain.

many thanks. don't know why this video is not viral . did you try also the Arduino Zero? what do you recommand as starting point for HW debugging with arduino today? thanks

Question - LOL, totally off topic but what is that background music? I love that jazzy sound!! I caught myself bebopping to it while watching your video. Thanks for the video's and all your work, great stuff, I subscribed to your channel, Saying hi from Canada
😀

Thank you, great vid and very useful.

Thank you! That's exactly what I'm looking for...

Did anyone else have trouble getting the DebugWire to work on this ? I created a simple nativ ATMega328 blinking program, and tested it using ISP. Then I tried to debug using DebugWire. Atmel Studio (Microchip Studio 7.0) asked permission to enable the DebugWire fuse. Then it failed saying that DebugWire doesn't support chip erase. But now it's stuck with the DWEN fuse enabled. Only ISP shows up as the interface, but it won't let me do anything like get info or program or see the target voltage (all of that worked before). It can not read even the device signature, and only ISP interface mode shows up in the tools/programming window. I tried power cycling the whole thing. I don't get why Atmel Studio won't show the DebugWire choice.

looks like you simply moved from Arduino IDE to Atmel Studio 7, didn't you?? What exactly Xplained board adds to the debugging process??

[thorstenfricke]

Hi, kann ich das xplained mini auch mit Visual studio debuggen?

[V_baddict]

Does this work only for Uno? How about Arduino Mega 2560? Thank you!

Kann ich Atmega328P Xplained Mini in Deutschland irgendwo kaufen?
In Holland kann ich es nicht finden?

Is there an option like this, but for the Arduino Mega?

So I tried to run a simple Arduino program that plots a sine wave to the serial port; it just sends integer strings to the port, viewable in Arduino IDE's serial plotter tool. But all I get is garbage instead of numbers, at any baud rate. That also is the case in Atmel Studio's data visualizer terminal. But when I program a real Arauino Uno with the same source code, it works fine. The xplained board is giving a 16.0 MHz clock to the mega328 as expected. Has anyone else gotten the Arduino serial code to work on these Mega328 Xplained boards ?
