PDFSUSB.exe source

[yba2cuo3]

Has anyone come across the source code for Microchip's PDFSUSB.exe USB demo software?

I had heard that Microchip started providing it to customers but were flooded with support calls to change the program, rewrite it in a different language, port it to other computers, add features, etc. The source was apparently complicated, and not particularly well commented. They have since pulled any reference of it off their forums.

I don't really care what shape it is in, just hoping to learn from it.

Thks,

If you can give you an email address that can receive an attachement of 5mb, I can send it to you. It is in Borland C++ Builder 6.0.

Hello: I'm a new member and want to ask your help.
Is there any way that you can send me a copy of the source code for PDFSUSB.exe ? I'm stuck testing a PIC18F4550 board when using the exe file.

Thank you

Juan

I would be very greatful if you could send me the PDFSUSB.EXE, as my software won't work with Windows Vista, but PDFSUSB.EXE does.
Thanks in advance

Sorry Everyone.

I no longer have the source for this as I now have switched over to Mac OS X and didn't see a reason to keep it.

[yba2cuo3]

For those who are still interested, I have a copy I can send.

Cheers,

Marc

yba2cuo3, I would like a copy of that source please
bartlee.anderson nospam comcast.net
replace " nospam " with @ for real address

Thanks, Bart

[bartleeanderson]

I've agreed to pass on the source to the next person that asks.
If you would be so good as to do the same if you request it from me.
I guess we're starting a handed down tradition :)

[Hunter2]

bartleeanderson, could you please send the source to me?
email: klamspam at gmail.com

I solemnly swear to pass on the torch :P

[caerzura]

to bartleeanderson, please bless me with the source, it may help me and my future junior [email protected]

thanks

I've repackaged the source, after deleting some unnecessary(?) files, i.e. debugger symbols, object files, temporary backup files, compiled binaries etc. I've attached the now manageable-sized file (PICDEMUSBFSDemoTool.zip) to this post.

Note that I deleted PICBOOT.dll since it was taking too much space. This can probably be built from the COMPortDriver source in the project directory (there was a PICBOOT.dll in that folder), using Visual Studio. Alternately you can just copy the file from the binary distribution of PDFSUSB.

Good luck everyone :)

[viewgsm]

there are some missing headers

would you please email full copy to me

viewgsm_at_hotmail.com

thank you

[Hunter2]

Tell me which headers are missing, so I can post them. I don't have Borland, so I can't compile the project myself.

[viewgsm]

hi, too many headers ,
if you may send me a full copy , I will post an easy web link .

Thanks

VrBitmapDial.hpp
VrControls.hpp
VrAngularMeter.hpp
VrLabel.hpp
VrLeds.hpp
VrSwitch.hpp
VrCheckLed.hpp
VrScope.hpp

[Hunter2]

Hi,
Sorry, I just checked the full ZIP and there are no .HPP files. I didn't delete anything in the smaller ZIP except:

*.~* (e.g. file.~cpp, file.~h, etc... since these are temporary files)
*.o (generated when you compile)
*.tds (debugger symbols, generated when you compile)
(possibly), *.obj (not sure - might be generated when you compile)
*.exe (generated when you compile)
PICBOOT.dll (available from binary distribution)

Everything else is still there :( It looks like the source I have is incomplete.

[viewgsm]

still , do u mind sending me the full copy , I will try to test it

Thank you

[djohn]

can someone share the source code thru a file hosting site like rapidshare, mihd etc. and post a link here. It will serve all.
Thanks.

[viewgsm]

its already attached above ,,

sorry I was wrong , I source above is fine , it was my mistake

I didn't installed borland C++ right ,

everything now is ok , and again , the source code above is working

Thank you all

You go ahead. The file is attached to a previous post for all to download, feel free to redistribute via rapidshare etc.

I will try to attach a split file of PICDEMUSBFSDemoTool.
This may take 5 posts.

[Dong]

I've got the source files you posted above.
And compiled&rebuilt the project successfully.
It runs ok.

Thanks a lot.

[paketorro]

I have downloaded the files and I have found that there is still some header files missing regarding with Controls of the DemoTool page. In my case these file are not so necessary, since I just want to build a simple application for downloading HEX files, so I have deleted them.

Now I can successfully compile the project with Borland Builder 6.0 but there is still a linker error: [Fatal Linker Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'VCWB6.LIB'

Can anyone help me, since I am not used to Borland Builder. If anyone can post the source files for Visual Studio will be fine as well.

Thanks.

[Dong]

You need to install TMS Instrumentation Workshop in your bcb6.0.

[radio]

hi, too many headers ,
if you may send me a full copy , I will post an easy web link .

Thanks

VrBitmapDial.hpp
VrControls.hpp
VrAngularMeter.hpp
VrLabel.hpp
VrLeds.hpp
VrSwitch.hpp
VrCheckLed.hpp
VrScope.hpp

I also miss those header, I saw someone said it is because install the BCB wrongly, can anyone tell me how can i install the BCB correctly.

[PJALM]

No its part of a separate custom control suite and not part of Borland's suite at all.

Thanks to Hunter2 for posting the ZIP of the PICDEMUSBFSDemoTool source.
It's done in Borland C++ Builder, so I ported it to VC++.

Now I can successfully compile the project with Borland Builder 6.0 but there is still a linker error: [Fatal Linker Error] Fatal: Unable to open file 'VCWB6.LIB'


I'm currently working on recompiling and building the PICDEMUSBFSDemo software project with C++ Builder 2007. I've installed the TMS Software from the link above for Builder 2007 (although the installation locked at the very end). I'm also getting the error pertaining to VCWB6.lib. I've searched my hard drive for this library but cannot find it, I've also tried googling for it although end up unsuccessful. Is this library even required for what I'm doing, or should it have installed with the installation of the Instrumentation Workshop software? I'm really new to all this, I appreciate any help.

Thank you

Ok, never mind. Thanks to dlchambers for his work with the visual studio route, I've been able to accomplish what I've needed using that rather than the original code with Borland.

[nigude]

please forward me the pdfsusb.exe to my mail address [email protected]

A ZIP of MChip's original FSUSB can be found here:

Look for the 'mchip_pdfsusb.zip' link at the bottom of the page.
