DEBUGIN on Chrome IDE and Chromebook IDE

kschmidt526

I am a teacher using Stamps in my classroom. I recently have started having students use their chromebooks with the parallax ide, but I cannot get the IDE to accept an input from the keyboard, using the DEBUGIN command. It works perfectly fine in the basic stamp editor. It will show output from a DEBUG command. Here is the chunk of code that can't get past...

debug "Player 1 - Enter a number between 1 and 10",CR   'CR means carriage return (ENTER)
debugin DEC number

Again, it works fine in the basic stamp editor

Have you any known issues logged for PIDE and the serial commands ?

Have you tried adding a small pause at the top of the code?

I just tried a quick experiment with Chrome on Windows, and Parallax IDE v. 2771
This worked on my PC

'{$STAMP BS2}
'{$PBASIC 2.5}

number          VAR     Word

Init:
  PAUSE 200                                     'short startup-pause

debug "Player 1 - Enter a number between 1 and 10",CR   'CR means carriage return (ENTER)
debugin DEC number
debug "Got: "
debug DEC number
