Propeller Chip "KISS" Debugger Program

The KISS Debugger is an indispensable tool for writing and debugging your software applications.

A debugger is a great time saver and can serve as a test bed to get your project up and running quickly.

This debugger is also a great source for code to incorporate into your own project.

A simulator can't provide a real time development environment like the KISS Debugger. Many routines that run on a simulator won't run on the target machine.

There is just no substitute for testing your code in the real time Propeller environment. This simple debugger is designed to use very little of the RAM in your development Cog while providing valuable information on what is actually happening in real time.

Look for a series of articles in the near future in ROBOT magazine on the construction of an autonomous robot based on the Parallax Propeller. This sophisticated robot, built with off-the-shelf components, is controlled by multiple Propeller processors. It features touch and auditory inputs, ultrasonic object detection and binocular vision. The KISS Debugger is the ideal tool for customizing your own robot.
