Your Turn
The bulk of the commands that are added to the program when DEBUG_MODE is set to 1
are
DEBUG commands with strings of characters. The strings of characters take up a
considerable amounts of memory. You can compare how much program memory is
consumed by the diagnostic code as follows:
√ Set
DEBUG_MODE = 0.
√ Click the BASIC Stamp Editor's Run menu, and select Memory map.
The Memory Map you see should resemble Figure 5-3. Notice on the left that the blue
program codes are taking up less than half the BASIC Stamp's EEPROM.
