CAS Debugger Not Working

By the way smart idea, I never thought about calling the debug function to test subroutines or other functions that my main function depends on that is pretty cool.

Edit: And I found this from another thread called "Debugging With an Orange Bang" and mentioned in "HP-Prime: Documentation and Tutorials" that "Your program is a CAS program and unfortunately, the debugger does not really work with the CAS...". Maybe this is something they fixed in the G2?

This is my first time programming, and I have been programming on both calculators and the simulator to test speeds and differences. So it's possible I may have thought I debugged on the G1 before and was actually on the G2 or simulator and the CAS debugger was always like this. Although I think his debugger at least "worked" not crashed the calculator.

The debugger is supposed to work on CAS programs (I think), but it runs in the terminal instead of the nice interface it has for standard PPL. As far as I know there's no particular reason it shouldn't work on the G1 as long as the FW is up to date.

HP didn't stop rolling out updates for G1 models when the G2 was released.
