Interactive Debugger/Monitor

[duane]

I am a spoiled professional programmer. I spend a lot of my day in a source level debugger. I miss that when I am working with the team on programming the robot.

I was wondering if anyone had tried to build a debugger for the FIRST robot?

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?
