TCPmaker

[ronjodu]

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.

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.
