A walk through of installing the Visual Micro Extension for Visual Studio, in conjunction with the Arduino IDE. Read on for links and more information..

If you are using VS2022 please follow this video: youtube.com/watch?v=q_CUukaO-FA

Only Visual Studio 2019 is required before following this guide, and if you have never used Arduino or Installed Visual Studio Extensions before this is the best place to get started.

Change Note: In VS2017/VS2019 the extension has to be manually downloaded and installed as shown on our downloads page:

NOTE: You may need to manually install the C++ Workload into VS, if this is not installed automatically with Visual Micro (see Getting Started Link below).
