*.hex to picbasic

[leonel]

Allow me to do one stupid question...
There are any way through an *.hex file know the source code?
The *.hex file was made in another compiler (i think "CCS")

Yes, i know how to see the code in assembler...
But my ideia it was to read the code in "C" or "PicBasic".
I think when you say: "Thankfully there is no reverse compiler back into PICBasic" i think that's not possible what i want to do...

There are NO reverse compilers for PIC chips (regardless of what higher-level language the code was written in), so the only thing you can do is view it in Assembler. Enjoy.

Hi Melanie-

Since this thread is quite old, I am wondering if there still is no "reverse compiler" for PICBASIC or PBP. If a person has a known-working program written in assembly language, it seems to me that this could be an educational tool for people trying to better understand this exciting world of PIC programming. Or am I just crazy?

Fortunately for everyone... there are still no reverse compilers. I'm afraid you're stuck with trying to understand Assembler.
