Debug problem

[chrismcl]

Hi

When I use the debug command, I get output to the debug window on the PC first time the program runs after a program download. When I restart the PICAXE program by powering the circuit down and back up, the debug command no longer outputs to the debug window. Am I missing something?

You have to manual bring up the debug window ( F6 ) first. Is that what you mean?

I leave the debug window open from the first (successful) debug. When I repower the circuit and the program runs, there is no debug output to the open debug window.

Will need to see the program then.

OK - thanks for your input. I'm at work and the program is at home so I'll post it later.

Cheers

I had a bit of a think about the problem and realized that I was using a variable name after the debug command. After removing the variable name it is working properly.
Thanks for your input sghioto.

Chris,

Your welcome, and welcome to the forum.

That's odd, it shouldn't make any difference. The ability to add a variable is for historical compatibility; the code generated should be the same and the entire variable space updated whether a variable is given or not.

Which PICAXE type are you using ?

Hi Hippy

18X.

I am pretty sure that was the only thing I changed to get debug working. If you want me to, I can put it back in again and see if I can repeat the problem.

 

[hippy]

It is worthwhile putting it back in to see if it does recreate the problem or not.

If you can reliably repeat the problem, please post the code together with the Editor version and 18X firmware version.
