Build the example project by running `make` from the terminal or the VSCode extension.

Debug in the built in simulator or in CSpect externally (example CSpect invocation on Windows would be `CSpect.exe -w2 -debug -remote`).
*Note: to use CSpect debugging from a Linux host you will have to edit the file `.vscode/launch.json` to change the `"hostname"` parameter to `"localhost"`*
