mmm, interesting link but, sorry Alain, to me wasting my time (based on >50$/Hour) for a <2$ device is a real money waste... even with the recent things that happened...

If you lost your OSC calibration it might mean that you overlooked your PIC programmer options.. or simply it's a freeware. With any of the previous, the first sentence apply. BTW, if you don't need anything timing critical, even with a stupid RC osc, just don't recall it and it will work.

Hi, Steve

Comment vas-tu, maudit Canadien ???

We do not play the same championship ... you pro, me ... only amateur !!!

And ... I never overwrite the cal value ( MPLAB takes care for me ...)

Best regards

Ya know ...,

I think the first post was a perfectly valid way of regaining an OSCCAL value if it got overwritten or erased.

What's the Beef? :eek:

The one I use is local made.

I don not think you can find it in France, but if you like to import and trade, I can help you out.

Hi, Sayzer


If I try to understand Turkish ... I see "read","Ok","cancel" and "help" commands ( think to correct me if I'm wrong ... )


so, With that programmer, seems You could only read or modify the cal value ...


but, if overwritten ( by error ! ) ... you can't recover the initial value.

My Picstart also does read/modify ...


but I don't know any programmer in this small world able to recover a LOST value. ... would yours automatically retrieve that value ???

Alain

PS: By the way ... does " Oku " mean you got it wrong ???

Finally, I got it !!!

no Turkish product at all ... booooo !!!

and the "Microburn" program doesn't show any kind of auto-retrieving for the cal value ...

Program also FREELY available in English ...
