Is anyone interesting in pursuing a debugger (or in this case what would be more correctly called a monitor)?
The one thing that would be very useful that I've not been able to work out is break points. In order to create a break point, the changes have to be inserted into the code. As far as I can tell, the code is in a read-only area (I actually think its eeprom) so I'm not sure it's even possible.
If the problem of break points can be fixed, I think we solve the rest of the monitor.
Any one have ideas or suggestions?

Although I don't have names or links now, I know there are a few simulators, of sorts, that accept a hex file and will output the pwm and other data according to (very limited) input. These are pretty old though, and not too advanced. Your best bet for testing things, if you don't have access to a full size bot, is a Robovation kit.
