But if you want simple debugging without the need for a computer, you can send a single number to the numeric display on the OI. See the very end of the Default_Routine() in the default code, where it formats the backup battery voltage to be displayed as the User Byte. Last year, I used one of the joystick wheels to select among several feedback values as diagnostic display.
