We've now got a working PCB that we can write software for. In this stage, we'll test some programs.

<h3 id="sec-1-1">Pushing a program to a PIC chip.</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-1">
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Load Circuit Wizard, then open your FirstPIC.cwz program while your PCB is connected to the computer. Click the "Run Live" button, and your program will be uploaded after a few seconds. You can then unplug your PCB from the computer and remove the download cable. Whenever the PCB is powered up, it'll make the LEDs blink on and off.
</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="sec-1-2">Debugging a program</h3>
<div class="outline-text-3" id="text-1-2">
<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Connect the PCB back up to the computer, so it is connected in Circuit Wizard. Click "Debug Live", then the "Start" button.
</li>
<li>Ignore what's happening on the left-hand side of the screen for a moment, and click on the option that says, "View several panels at once".
</li>
<li>In debug mode, you can monitor exactly what your Genie chip is doing, and which instruction it is running in real-time.
</li>
<li>You can also see which inputs and outputs are turned on, and use this information to help fix any issues (bugs) in your code.
</li>
<li>The jog-wheel (shown as a circle just above the "Close" button allows you to slow the speed at which the program runs. This can be handy when there's a lot going on. Try this now.
</li>
<li>Remember that while you are debugging, you won't be able to control the left-most LED, which will blink constantly while you are working. As soon as your PCB isn't connected to the computer, it will behave as it should, though.

<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Load up your "my analogue program.cwz" work that you produced in step 1.
</li>
<li>Using the figures you obtained in step 3, modify the values of your analogue decision diamonds to make your program work.
</li>
<li>You might want to use the "Calibrate Sensor" option again. Double-check that the mode is set to "2 inputs, 3 outputs (G0-G2)".
</li>
<li>You might want to use the "Debug Live" feature to make sure the program is behaving how you expect before running live.

<ul class="org-ul">
<li>Take screenshots of your working analogue program, and write a few sentences describing how you modified your program, and the steps you took to ensure it worked correctly in a text document. Upload these pictures and the text document.
</li>
<li>For the platinum task, write the same analogue program in GenieBasic. The below video tutorial will help you to do this.
