Or use a well-placed oscilloscope. ;-) I have done a few embedded projects in the past (using C/assembler) where that was my only debugging tool... not so much fun for a programmer, but a good learning experience. Unfortunately, I don't have my own oscilloscope (they are really expensive), but I hope one of the engineers will have one.
