We’ll admit it. We have access to great debugging tools and, yes, sometimes they are invaluable. But most of the time, we’ll just throw a few print statements in whatever program weR…

    Now try debugging on a microcontroller with none of that UART stuff Arduino gives you. Print statements? Ha, try debugging by blinking an LED.

      LED? Luxury! 😁

      I had one board with an improperly loaded power supply and I could tell what it was doing by the pattern and pitch of the squeal.

      It did have a debug UART though, but I did come to find the sound pretty useful too!
