Troubleshooting
If you've verified all of the previous options with no success, you can enable "Message Tracing"
to put ROBOTC into a persistent communication mode.
Begin by going to Window > Menu Level and selecting Super User to switch your viewing
preferences to the Super User level.
Then go to View > Preferences and select Detailed Preferences...
On the Internal tab, select Messages under Message Tracing to put ROBOTC into its persistent
communication mode. Press OK to verify your setting.
Now when you download a program, ROBOTC will also open the Message Log with the
Cortex in a new tab. You can switch back and forth between your program and the Message
Log by clicking on the desired tab.
