Thank you! This might save me some headaches in the future.

Effectively, yup, you're building a poor man's debugger using that technique. And for things like the PWM circuitry I usually do that approach (not without knowing the datasheet, of course). Then it's easy to play around with certain parameters and immediately have a result instead of having the need to re-flash every time. Really depends on the situation, but it's handy to have a facility like that IMHO :-)

Thanks for the great tips, these are very advanced techniques for MCU... any example codes for the AVR for all the tips you mentioned ??
