™ Here is a short overview of which debugging commands are supported in mikroElektronika compilers. You can see what each command does, and what are their shortcuts when you are in debugging mode. It will give you some general picture of what your debugger can do.
Input/Output Group One of the most distinctive features of mikromedia ™ workStation v7 are it’s Input/Output PORT groups. They add so much to the connectivity potential of the board. Everything is grouped together PORT headers, PORT buttons and PORT LEDs are next to each other and Figure 6-1: I/O group contains PORT headers, tri-state pull grouped together.

ADC inputs Digital signals have two discrete states, which are decoded as high and low, and interpreted as logic 1 and logic 0. Analog signals, on the other hand, are continuous, Enabling ADC inputs and can have any value within defined range. A/D converters are specialized circuits which can convert analog signals (voltages) into a digital representation, usually in form of an integer number.
Piezo Buzzer Piezo electricity is the charge which accumulates in a sequence of logic zeros and ones. Frequency certain solid materials in response to mechanical pressure, of the square signal determines the pitch of the but also providing the charge to the piezo electric material generated sound, and duty cycle of the signal can be causes it to physically deform.
Additional GNDs mikromedia workStation v7 board contains two GND pins located in different ™ sections of the board, which allow you to easily connect oscilloscope GND reference when you monitor signals on microcontroller pins, or signals of on-board modules. GND is located below the mikromedia board socket on the left side.
Breadboard area mikromedia workStation v7 contains Breadboard area as well as additional 1x52 ™ female header, side by side. That allows you to expand your mikromedia ™ workStation v7 board with additional functionality. That can be done by placing your additional components (such as resistors, LED diodes, motors, DIP IC's, etc.) on available Breadboard area.
