BASIC Stamp II
DEBUG outputdata
Show variables and messages for debugging purposes.
usage:
DEBUG “Here we are!”
Show message when executed
When executed, the data after DEBUG will be sent to the PC for dis-
play. DEBUG data can be displayed in several modes. Straight data
can be relayed to the PC, or you can have values printed in decimal,
hex, binary, or ASCII. In the number-printing modes, the result of an
expression can be printed or a complete relation can be shown between
the expression and its result. For example:
DEBUG dec? X
Show X in decimal with relation
will yield (if x=1):
X = 1
DEBUG dec X
Show X in decimal
yields:
1
When printing numbers, these prefixes can be used before expressions:
ASC?
Show ASCII value with relation
