Run without debugger

Dan Davis

Hi Peter,

Hope you had an enjoyable weekend.

Is it possible to get the Javelin running - without the debugger - but still able to access the serial port.

Meaning, I do not care for using breakpoints, stepping, or anything like that, but I would still like to use System.out.println to send characters to my serial port. Is this possible?

Best regards,

Dan

I'm not Peter, but I can answer your question

Instead of using the "Debug" button, use the "Program" button to program the Javelin.
You can still send debug messages with "System.out.println".

Kind regards,

Thanks! Peter knows from some other posts that I was having trouble with my serial port and the debugger. My next question would be, will this remove my errors in executing my program? I was getting some IDE errors that we think has to do with my crappy Dell serial port. I would think that, if I'm not debugging, these would no longer appear. Any error on the serial port would simply mean I do not receive the data from System.out.println. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
Dan

Communication between the IDE message window and the javelin is done
in packets. If you have troubles with receiving some of those packets
will be corrupted and simply discarded, meaning nothing will be printed
to the IDE message window.
