By 'debug' I mean: - display program variables - set breakpoints - advance the code step-by-step Click to expand... Goto in your Project Folder and select the Objects\src folder. Start Visual Studio with installed Visual Micro Plug-In. Start new project and import the code src.ino from B4R. Compile with debug information and set your breakpoints. As you know the B4R toolchain generates C++ code. It's not easy to debug but sometimes it helps. Upvote 0

Yes, thanks, I know the Visual Studio + Visual Micro procedure My question was about understanding how to debug using the B4R environment What I wanted to say is that I see that with the other B4A and B4J environments it is possible to perform the classic debugging I wanted to understand if it was I who could not find a way to do it even with B4R or if the development environment does not allow it Upvote 0

Click to expand... That's great. Pitty for me that none of the boards that I have can work with it. Since it is based on the cli version, I suppose that @Erel can take advantage of it for the given boards (and the boards to come) in B4R to add Debug capabilities in B4R. I do not know about the others but I would be willing to pay a minor yearly fee (or a donation) for B4R if we could take advantage of such environment because the Log(".....") is not always the perfect way to debug.

Erel B4X founder Staff member Licensed User Longtime User Mar 14, 2021 #9 The whole purpose of this thread was to promote a different development tool. Just last month the OP made a feature request about this topic: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ogram-variable-view-cpu-register-view.127882/ I don't understand this approach. If you want to use a different tool then use a different tool. Why promote it here? Upvote 0
