Arduino Debugging 101 - All About Arduino - 3

Debugging is the technique of transforming a non-working program into a working program.

This video shows some simple techniques that can be used solely with the Arduino IDE. It is based upon a tutorial I created on our reddit Wiki (link below).

The Arduino IDE is relatively simple compared to other IDEs and there are other, more advanced debugging techniques available, this video shows some simply techniques that can be used to resolve 99% (or more) of the problems you might encounter developing your Arduino code.
