Enjoy  [^]
I dislike the Arduino IDE myself, but there are ways to program the Arduino using Visual Studo or Atmel Studio, like the plugin above.
|
|
|
|
|
It's a very popular addin/extension but I use the bare IDE and write mostly C++ code, occasionally C and rarely Asm code.
|
|
|
|
|
At least the plugin makes Arduino bearable, the default IDE is pretty annoying.

Yes it is!
The Atmel Studio IDE is annoying at times, it has come a long way since they released it a year or so ago but like VS it has it's little "Quirks".
I'm starting to branch out and investigate other platforms like the Beaglebone Black, etc. but don't know where it will go just a curiosity or something I will pursue?

It's mostly just tinkering for me for now...I have lots of learning curves to deal with for work so I just want something that's easy to deal with...with the Visual Micro plugin, at least I can work in my Visual Studio...the Arduino IDE is pretty crude...need it though if you're going to burn a bootloader or program a 'tiny.

Just stick with what you're using then, it's simple and you already know it. When you are ready you can always switch!
I took the time to learn Atmel Studio because I've been using VS since it's Beta many years ago so was familiar with it. Also the last job I had we used VC++6.0 so was familiar with that aspect.
It just made sense for me.
Whatever the choice the object is to enjoy it and create amazing things.

Did you look at Eclipse? I have been using it with the avr plugin to do Arduino development in c++. It works fine for me particularly as I had already installed it for Android development.

When I first got into embedded I did a lot of research and Eclipse was one of the IDE's I looked at but it's lack of debugging and complexity scared me off. I started using AVR Studio which was a precursor to the Atmel Studio and just stayed with them.
I'm really pissed with them right now though because I had an AVRDragon, nice tool when it works and when I updated the IDE they always ask for the tools to be updated and the Dragon failed to update and it bricked it. It was $50 so I'm not happy about my $50 paper weight.

Congratulations. I looked at the BBB but am waiting for the Arduino Tre. I hope it materialises.

The Tre looks interesting, a BBB plus an Leonardo...sweet!
Hope it materializes for you!

My original MS account was setup using an ISP provided email. My Windows Phone was setup a few months before I dropped said provider and switched everything over to an outlook.com address, setting it first as an alias, then as the primary. Last week, my email started acting up, (using the old email address for replies) so I deleted the offending alias. (the original MS email address that I dropped) One problem solved, and another lurking. Yesterday, I decide to let my WP apps update, but it says it is having trouble logging into the MS account...wrong email address. Bad news, you can't change the email address without resetting the phone to factory settings first.  I know what I will be doing tomorrow.

You would think so! The place isn't new, its 30 year old. They maybe just found a set of hospital plans lying around and thought "they'll do" when they were building it!

It looks like them old time horror movies. Pretty neat though. You guys have pool tables and that is enough for me to love the place. Just add a bar fridge and I will send out my resume to you.

You'd be surprised, the now torn down R&D facility I used to work at (built by a well known multi-national oil company) was exactly that, a set of hospital plans.
Operating theatres = Chemistry labs
Private rooms, examination rooms = Offices
Storage = storage
Wide corridors, lifts etc. etc.
The old ones are utilitarian, simple and probably cheap to build. Job done, not eactly inspiring but it was 1970 (ish).
Not sure the new, modern, stylish hospitals would work quite so well...
