    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.

    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?

    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.

    Question

    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 !!!

    http://www.kitsrus.com/pdf/k149d_intro.pdf

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

    Program also FREELY available in English ...
