I was wondering what all of you use to test your code before you push it to the controller?

I would like to be able to add printlns and run the code to see what variable values are during runtime to ensure that the controller is doing what I expect it to do.. What is the best way that you know of?

Serial.println() function. Then view in Serial Monitor

I try to step through the logic of the code. then I add the debug print statements (like Lee said). and then I push it to my controller to test.
we don't have an emulator for the controller to test out before you run it.

Thanks! I'll do that once I get my replacement cable.

What do you use to serial into it?

I'm used to using putty. I'm assuming that it will work as long as I select the right com port.

The arduino gui has it built in. Look for Serial Monitor under Tools I believe

It's the little magnifying glass in the upper right corner.
