(I've never used Debug).

Hi Dave,

Bruce did a great write up on how to use it here: http://www.rentron.com/PicBasic/MCS_X3.htm

I used to use it, and it is pretty cool. When I needed to try to debug things that were using the serial port already, I had to find other ways to debug (not necessarily better). But I would say it can be pretty helpful when you are starting out.

The way it debugs is that it adds code into your program to talk back and forth through the serial port. That way it updates registers, etc so you can see them in the ICD. It uses a fair amount of resources, so it slows things down a great deal, but it is fast enough for a lot of projects.
