ARDUINO → Functions and Variables → ARDUINO MEGA Functions Debug


The debugger in ROBOTC allows you to see all of your sensor, motor and variables while running your program. ROBOTC also has a debug terminal called the "Debug Stream" that you can use to output a terminal-like stream of information to have an additional way to monitor your program.

You can open this debugger window from the "Robot -> Debugger Windows -> Debug Stream" window when in Expert or Super User mode.

Function:
Variable:


writeDebugStream

void writeDebugStream(const string sFormatString, ...)
(void) The Debug Stream functionality allow the user to output formatted text to a debug terminal. This command works similar to a print to LCD command, but displays the information to the "Debug Stream" ROBOTC debugger window.
Parameter Explanation Data Type
sFormatString A formatted string following standard C-Style convention for showing data inline. void 
  int fooBarVar = 503;                       //Create a Variable to Display
  writeDebugStream("Value: %d", fooBarVar);  //Write the string "Value: 503" to the Debug Stream


memset

void memset(void &pToBuffer, const short nValue, const short nNumbOfBytes)
(void) Sets a block of memory at pToBuffer to the value nValue. nNumbOfBytes is the number of bytes to set. This is a useful function for initializing the value of an array to all zeros. Identical to the function found in conventional C 'string.h' library.
Parameter Explanation Data Type
pToBuffer buffer to set void
nValue value to set buffer to short
nNumbOfBytes number of bytes to set short 
int kSendSize = 1;                                   // we will be sending 1 byte
ubyte BytesToSend[kSendSize];                        // create a ubyte array of size 1
short nMsgXmit = 0;                                  // we will be setting them to 0
memset(BytesToSend, nMsgXmit, sizeof(BytesToSend));  // set the Byte Array to 0


nVexMasterVersion

const word nVexMasterVersion
(word) Variable contains the firmware version for the VEX master CPU. 
int MasterFirmwareVer = nVexMasterVersion; // stores the value of the Master Firmware to a variable


version

const word version
(word) Contains the firmware version number. 
displayNextLCDNumber(version);  // display the current firmware version on the LCD
