3v0 said:ICD all the way for me, a emulator or logic analyizer would be nice but is outside my budget.

gramo said:Thats a structured approach you've got 3v0.
Just on the logic analyizer, have you considered POScope? Or is that still out og the budget?
This **broken link removed** offers less digital debugging, but it has up to 100 Ms/s real-time sampling rate and 100MHz bandwidth compared to the 200K/s on the POScope
Download the software for each and see how it works.
I've heard the programs are a lot slower than that of normal PIC programming, is that the case?
For some small simple programming projects I'll dive right in and code away.What kind of programmer are you? Do you make a sketch/pull out the white board/make lots of small routines/randomly write things until it works?
I'll use a SIM for basic debugging and an ICD for anything that is hardware intensive. I have been known to talk to my code.What are your debugging techniques? ICD/VSM/Attack the computer?
Maybe its a flapjackrabbit?Hank Fletcher said:Am I going nuts here, or does anyone else see a rabbit with a pancake on its head? I don't understand the reference - am I missing something?
To paraphrase Freud, maybe sometimes a flapjackrabbit is just a flapjackrabbit?3v0 said:Maybe its a flapjackrabbit?
ericgibbs said:To assist in any in circuit debugging I paste a LCD and UART subr in the program, writing short diagnostic subr as required to display/transmit the status of program variables.
Its also useful have a program 'strobe/sync' output pin on the PIC that can be called from the program in order to trigger
the external scope.
The PIC pcb is self made, with ZIF sockets and 4*16 LCD and MAX232 etc with two project boards along side.
To debug I use the Oshonsoft sim, I write my own external sim modules, using VB, for the sim to suit the project.
Vladimir of OS has made a recent change in the sim's refresh rate, the sim rate is much improved.
Using a PICstart+ ICSP programmer its nice and simple. For harware debug I use a scope etc.
It works for me.

I see from the pic props that its a 'pancake-rabbit!'.

Just curious

The graduate with a Science degree asks, "Why does it work?" The graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" The graduate with an Accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?" The graduate with an Arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
