How do I use DEBUG ?

[kenpo]

hello, odd question, but I was previously a Basic Stamp user before using PIC's and I got used to having the debug command every now and then.

can I do that with PBP? I read in the manual on pg 54, that it sends out the serial data. and to hyperterminal (which is thankfully still included with xp) but how do I hook it all up? and is there an option to have a DEBUG screen WITHIN PBP? (anyone used the stamp and know what I'm talking about?)

I'm not really all that interested in using the LCD debug, I'd much rather simply use one pin on my pic and have a pc screen.

thanks!

i believe serout is the comand you refrence,

from my experiance, almsot every thing i learned on basic stamp i relearned for pic, as i said im only using this bs2 , cause i dont have the $ for all the parts i need for pic, and dont want to blow usefull ports on a pic when i could fry my bs2 ,, which in my opinion is useless.

but i believe serout is the comand, the pbp manual has numeous minimal configurations,, circut drawings, to run a pic, to have serial conectivity, reset butons, u name it the pbp manual has a drawing,

im sure steve will tell you more , but since i was here i figured id give ya some where to start reading

acctually, there's a command called DEBUG. I'm more interested in that. but thanks picman

well ,, again, the pbp manual, has decent explanitions of comands, do you have a copy?

[kenpo]

yes, and I've read it, pg54 as stated, I'm just wondering if anyone has a better setup to getting the info on screen.

as asked, I'd like to see the DEBUG info in PBP compiler, or in microcode studio if possible.
this is not covered in the manual.
