===== Commands =====

^ Command ^ Arguments ^ Return Value ^ Operation ^
| ''debugStart()'' | None | ''void'' | Sets the port and baud rate for debug output. |


===== Example =====

<code cpp>
const bool DEBUG_MODE = true;

void setup() {
  if (DEBUG_MODE) {
    debugStart(115200);  // Set the port and baud rate for debug output.
  }
}

void loop() {
  checkInput();
  checkOutput();
}

void checkInput() {
  debug("AI0=");  // Output values only when debugging is enabled.
  debugln(analogRead(A0));  // Read the raw analog value of the specified channel. / Output the debug value followed by a newline.
}

void checkOutput() {
  debug("millis=");  // Output values only when debugging is enabled.
  debugln(millis());  // Output the debug value followed by a newline.
}
</code>

===== Precautions =====

  * Do not use the same port for Debug and product communication.
  * Rapid repeated output can slow the control cycle and communication responses.
  * Stop unnecessary Debug output before deploying for operation.
