Visual Micro shares the same configuration as the Arduino Ide. The Arduino Ide is based on the wiring framework and Visual Micro is also compatible with other Ide's that are also based on the framework. This means that all hardware that conforms to the wiring/arduino build process is automatically supported by Visual Micro without the software having prior knowlege of the hardware.

Visual Micro is an Add-In for Microsoft Visual Studio 2008-2013 and for Atmel Studio 6.1-6.2 that allows any Arduino project to be developed compiled, and then uploaded to any Arduino board. Visual Micro is fully compatible with the Arduino development environment and uses the same libraries, source code, and development tools. The difference lies in Visual Micro's user interface which provides an advanced and professional development environment, and allows for more advanced development than the existing Arduino IDE. Visual Micro also includes an optional (not free) Arduino software debugger.
