Dear all, is there any program which can help in debugging the program?
Also are there any simulators for the Arduino?
Tnx

I am using AVR Dragon/AVR Studio for debugging Arduino programs. Works quite well.

felis, does someone need a programmer to debug? I'm considering it. Is the software free? Thanks.

AVR Studio is free. AVR Dragon is a debugger as well as programmer.

So if I had the AVR Dragon I would be able to poke around in arduino SRAM and Flash, stack and hash pointers, flags and unassembled code, correct?

I have relatively good luck debugging Arduino sketches (well, libraries) by compiling on a unix system and poking at them with a standard debugger (gdb, etc) You have to create a phony framework of arduino core routines, and watch out for differences in the size of "int", but it is pretty helpful...

In theory there is no difference between theory and practice, however in practice there are many...

Awesome! I'm saving up money right now! Dragon, see you in 10 years!

I'm saving up ... Dragon, see you in 10 years! A dragon is only about $50... I wish the debug protocol were public, and an Arduino could be used to debug another arduino... |
