Cant get the app to run on 32 bit windows 7 machine

[Shantanu-Daithankar]

Hi - I am trying to get the program to execute for the first time but am not able to do it. Also the instructions are not clear.

The following the Build/Run instructions given in the read me section as are being used.

1. Download and install above cpp dev compiler
2. Download ArduinoDebugger.zip from this github repository
3. Unzip ArduinoDebugger.zip to C:\ArduinoDebugger
4. Open C:\ArduinoDebugger\prjArduinoSimulator.dev in cpp dev
5. Compile and Run, Open a project
6. Rebuild All if the sketch.ino changes
7. Set breakpoints, Debug

I have done everything till step 5 above and I even get the "prjArduinoSimulator.dev" opened and compiled in the IDE. But this is where the confusion starts.

The compile and run instruction does not run any program - the compile log just shows the Compilation succeeded message - when I saw one of the demo video, there was a window popping with the title "High Level Menu" -which was what I was expecting but it never shows up.

I tried executing the prjArduinoSimulator.exe file(assuming its the high level menu app) directly but it shows a popup saying the version of the file is incompatible and that I need to check if I need the 32 or 46 bit version of the program.

Even when I debug - it does not allow me and shows the same message as above.

The second part of step 5 instruction ("Open a project") is not clear to me. Is this supposed to be a project that was created for my Arduino application in Arduino IDE or something in the ArduinoDebugger? The entire workflow/steps for creating a board with wired components and running my code against it is not clear.

Also at what point and why would the sketch.ino file change - requiring a me to rebuild?

I think all the problems maybe due to the compiler settings generating incompatible binaries that are 64 bit. Once the UI is up maybe the workflow will get clear and I will be able to test my Arduino app.

It will be extremely helpful if some one take the time to help so that I can get this awesome app running and use it for my project.

Thanks!
