So a real example of how using a simulator would have just wasted time
From my own experience I would have just wasted more time than I would
have gained using a sim

I use a LCD where ever possible or a serial out (sure you can
temporarily free up one pin for this) to my PC where a LCD is out of the
question

Can't say that I would recommend using a simulator to anyone who needs
to ask

If it's a limited input, code intensive application EG. Scott Dattalo
DTMF Decoder pic app. Then they might save a lot of time

Scott did you use a simulator to develop it ?
