Versions 2.1.0.0 or higher of the Swordfish compiler now generates a debug file (*.cof) which can be used to single step code and view variables in MPLAB. This article assumes the reader is familiar with the MPLAB environment and has access to a suitable In Circuit Debug (ICD) module. For my tests, I used a Junebug board which is available from [[http://www.blueroomelectronics.com | Blue Room Electronics]]. The Junebug is powered from your computers USB port and is a PICkit 2 compatible programmer and debugger based around the 18F1320 microcontroller. The Swordfish code used is shown later in this article.
