Debugging tool with breakpoints

[sk8board]

Is there a debugging tool with breakpoints available for MicroPython?

If not, is there a plan to develop a debugging tool with breakpoints?

I've been gradually working towards full debugger support in micropython, however it's a stop/start process when I get time: micropython/micropython-lib#499

I've seen a few people use sys.settrace to build simple debugging tools before but can't find them right now, I haven't really used any myself.

Having a debugger could benefit everyone. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. Is there a tutorial or video demo of how this debugger functions?

[andrewleech]

I don't have any docs or similar yet, there's still some groundwork to finish before it's usable.

This is intended to provide pdb which is the debugging module from cpython. You can google how to use it manually, but it's also the engine used by pretty much all standard python debugging tools so I'm hoping to work towards getting vscode debugging working on top of this.
