- Fri Sep 30, 2016 4:09 am #55900 Hi. Apologies if this is covered in other places but i'm new to c++ and though i can compile load run a program i'm finding following code very timeconsuming due to my inexperience. Normally i'd turn to a debugger or stick in a lot of print statements. Debugger being first choice, thought i'd ask if there is one which is recommended for this environment please?


Thanks very much!

You can use it from Tools and then Serial Monitor.

You should also check The Engineering Projects because they have posted a lot of Arduino Projects and PIC Microcontroller Projects and have also designed many new Proteus Tutorials and C# Tutorial. I hope you guys are gonna like them.

I wonder if there's a simpler way of doing it than manually inserting print statments. I was hoping that there might be an automated way to do this, highlight bits of code and the debugger temporarily inserts relevant monitoring prints or somesuch.maybe I'll try and knock something together, but probably less effort to read more carefully and think a bit more!

Thanks again for your help, now I know I'm not missing an easy solution!
