    Default TCPmaker

    anyone have any experience with TCPmaker? I currently use siteplayer and a pic 18f2680 to control some lighting thru LAN. Am considering trying tcp but the cost is kind of steep for one project. Any comments welcome.

    ronjodu,

    No I haven't used this program but it looks very promising.

    It's a shame they don't have a demo to download to test the software. Also, they don't say what program they use to generate the PIC code. The software is kind of pricy but I will keep it in mind for my own projects.

    If you are doing this for hire, depending upon your tax bracket, it might only cost 1/2 that in real dollars, and you will have it for next time.
    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.

    I just do this as a hobby for the most part although I have spent a fair amount having pcb's made. Maybe if I convince wifey to eat mac&cheese and hotdogs and beans for a few weeks I can use the grocery money for the software.

    I will admit that it seems like a fair price for the capabilities they say it has.

    Seems it only generates C source so it won't be easy to integrate with PBP, or am I missing something?

    The add for it in the Melabs flier I received with my 2.6 upgrade said soon to be compatable with PBP. I would wait till this is confirmed before I tried it.

    Ahh, that sounds promising, will have to keep an eye on it then.
