MiPDebug

Class MiPDebug

Telnet and Serial debug server for real-time remote diagnostics.

Detailed Description

Inherits from Arduino's Print class to support formatted output methods (print, println, printf) over telnet network connections and optional hardware Serial.

---

setSerialEnabled

Signature: void setSerialEnabled(bool enable)

Summary: Configures whether debug messages are echoed to HardwareSerial.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
enable	true to duplicate output to Serial, false to route to telnet only.

---

setResetCmdEnabled

Signature: void setResetCmdEnabled(bool enable)

Summary: Configures whether the telnet server allows remote system reset commands.

---

setHelpProjectsCmds

Signature: void setHelpProjectsCmds(String help)

Summary: Sets custom project help text displayed when a telnet client sends the help command.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
help	Formatting string detailing sketch-specific commands.

---

setCallBackProjectCmds

Signature: void setCallBackProjectCmds(void(*callback)())

Summary: Registers a callback handler for custom sketch/project telnet commands.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
callback	Function pointer executed when a custom command is received.

---

getLastCommand

Signature: String getLastCommand()

Summary: Retrieves the last command string received from the connected telnet client.

Returns: String containing the command text.

---

clearLastCommand

Signature: void clearLastCommand()

Summary: Clears the internal last-command buffer string.

---

showTime

Signature: void showTime(bool show)

Summary: Configures whether timestamps (in milliseconds) are prepended to log outputs.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
show	true to show timestamps, false to omit.

---

showProfiler

Signature: void showProfiler(bool show, uint32_t minTime=0)

Summary: Configures execution profiler logging between consecutive prints.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
show	true to show elapsed execution time, false to omit.
minTime	Minimum elapsed time threshold in milliseconds required to trigger profiler output.

---

showDebugLevel

Signature: void showDebugLevel(bool show)

Summary: Configures whether debug severity tags ([INFO], [DEBUG], etc.) are prepended to messages.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
show	true to show level tags, false to omit.

---

showColors

Signature: void showColors(bool show)

Summary: Configures whether ANSI color codes are included in telnet log output.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
show	true to enable color codes, false for plain text.

---

autoProfilerLevel

Signature: void autoProfilerLevel(uint32_t millisElapsed)

Summary: Automatically switches logging level to PROFILER if elapsed time exceeds threshold.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
millisElapsed	Threshold duration in milliseconds between loop iterations.

---

setFilter

Signature: void setFilter(String filter)

Summary: Applies a text filter string to debug outputs.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
filter	Substring filter; only log lines containing this string will be printed.

---

setNoFilter

Signature: void setNoFilter()

Summary: Removes any active text filter string.

---

isActive

Signature: bool isActive(uint8_t debugLevel=DEBUG)

Summary: Checks if logging output is active for the specified debug level.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
debugLevel	Target debug level to check (default: DEBUG).

Returns: true if specified level meets or exceeds active threshold; false otherwise.

---

write

Signature: size_t write(uint8_t byte) override

Summary: Writes a single byte to active debug channels (Stream/Print override).

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
byte	Character byte to output.

Returns: Number of bytes written (1 on success).

---

write

Signature: size_t write(const uint8_t *buffer, size_t size) override

Summary: Writes a byte buffer to active debug channels (Stream/Print override).

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
buffer	Pointer to character array to output.
size	Number of bytes in buffer.

Returns: Number of bytes successfully written.

---

expand

Signature: String expand(String string)

Summary: Helper method to expand CR/LF control characters into literal "\r" and "\n" strings.

Parameters:

Parameter	Description
string	Input string containing raw control characters.

Returns: String with CR/LF replaced by escaped representations.
