Hi Matt,

Serial.printf() will work almost everywhere (the exception is places like interrupt handlers).

If you only want the message in SITL, then you can instead use SITL_debug(), like this:

  SITL_debug("some message\n");

Cheers, Tridge

Hi Matt,

I have used Serial.print ('' ") for debugging quite a bit. Just pit it in a slow loop so you can read it and the digits don't flicker, and comment out other prints as needed. Like here at the end of the fast loop.

    // ------------------------------
    set_servos();

///test///    gcs_update();
///test///    gcs_data_stream_send();
    
}

static void medium_loop()

Add you stuff to the medium or slow loop.

Andrew I'm a bit confuse.

I wrote this code (bits of Test code) in ArduPlane:

-----------------------------------

case 4:

medium_loopCounter = 0;

delta_ms_medium_loop = millis() - medium_loopTimer;

medium_loopTimer = millis();

if (g.battery_monitoring != 0){

read_battery();

}

//****Test Code

SITL_debug("Sitl:Hey!\n");

Serial.print ("Serial:Hey!\n");

//****End Test Code

slow_loop();

break;

--------------------------------------

 

I do see "Serial:Hey!"....  in APM console but not the SITL one...

maybe I missed something.... please help.

Cheers,

-Eric

Thanks, for all the replies definately helped a ton.

I tired to go the route of writing my own flash log outputs in the Log.pde, just glad to know there is an easier way.

Thanks!
