c – programmer type being used to program the board Ensure you enter the path in quotes in case there are any spaces in your path. C – a path to nf, you can find this file in Arduino IDE’s installation directory. In Arguments text box put in the following parameters and values (please note that parameters are case-sensitive):.If you haven’t changed Arduino IDE’s default installation, the file should be located as per the below.Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\tools\avr\bin\avrdude.exe This should be located in hardware\tools\avr\bin subdirectory of Arduino IDE installation directory.

In Command text box enter full path to AVRdude executable.In Title text box enter an appropriate description ( Arduino COM3 in this example) and click Add.Launch Atmel Studio and once loaded, click Tools > External Tools….Stage 3: Configure AVRdude as an external tool Write COM port number down (in this example COM3), it will be needed soon.From left-hand pane select Device Manager, expand Ports (COM & LPT) and find your board.

This guide shows you how to configure Atmel Studio 7 to support your Arduino board on an example of Arduino Mega 2560. Atmel Studio seems like an obvious choice for replacing Arduino IDE. If you are bit more advanced with programming you want to write your code in plain C and get dirty with all features of your AVR processor. Arduino C++ wrapper is great when you are taking first steps in hardware programming world, however it hides a lot of aspects of what is happening under the hood. So, you got your Arduino board, installed Arduino IDE, started a new project and went: “Hold on a second?! This is not real microcontroller programming!”.
