Beginners question please ! is there a simple way to route the printF statements output to a window within MplabX debugger so we can get an immediate visual ?
Seen some web mention of DBPrint but that only seems to be for Pic32 , not accepted with pic18F.
You need to send the output to the uart and then to an output window... If you initialize then uart and write the putch(); to output to the uart.. When you open the serial output in MPLABX it will be displayed..
If you right click on your project... Select "Properties"... Select "Conf:[default]... select "Simulator" Then from the drop down box.... Select "USART IO Options" Tick the box and select window ( not file ) then you should see an output window when you debug...
