Sort of an odd question... Can you debug an Arduino UNO, an Arduino Pro Micro, or an esp-01 (esp8266)? Preferably with PlatformIO IDE (VScode). I couldn't find anything online...
I'm not the right person to answer this question, but I'll try anyway.
-
UNO (R3):
No, there's no debugging support for the microcontroller (?) -
Pro Micro:
Possibly, with the right programmer and some hacking.
ATmega32U4 and JTAG - #3 by anderscarlberg74 - PlatformIO Core - PlatformIO Community -
ESP:
Again, possibly, with issues.

Thank you sooo much! I have yet to try the pro micro, but the ESP works wonderfully! And in the meantime I've found this for the UNO (also yet to try): Debugging the Arduino Uno or Nano! (No extra hardware needed!)
Again, thank you.
(BTW the bug I was searching for was actually in the print statements LOL)

That's a very interesting setup! I wasn't aware anything like that was possible. There do seem to be a few big caveats; it seems to take over Serial, one of the timers and one of the interrupt pins, but still good to know about.
