===== Commands =====

^ Command ^ Arguments ^ Return Value ^ Operation ^
| ''debugState()'' | None | ''bool'' | Returns whether debug output is enabled. |


===== Example =====

<code cpp>
void setup() {
  debugStart(Serial, 115200, SERIAL_8N1);  // Start the serial port for debug output.
}

void loop() {
  if (millis() >= 5000 && debugState()) debugStop();  // Stop debug output after five seconds.
  if (debugState()) {  // Check whether debug output is enabled.
    debugln(millis());  // Print elapsed time while debugging is enabled.
  }
  delay(500);
}
</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.
