DEBUGGING THE CODE
Assuming that you have modified the code to implement your own application on the
PIC24FJ256DA210, it is possible that it will not work after your first build and needs to
be debugged. MPLAB IDE provides an editor and several debug features, such as
breakpoints and Watch windows, to aid in application code debugging.
This section includes:
• Editing Application Code
• Using Breakpoints and Mouseovers
• Using Watch Windows
