What's the purpose of the thread? I mean since the developers of the PBC and PBP do not read the forum, what is the purpose to suggest improovements here? Just for the sake of the discussion I suppose...

Hi, Ioannis
I think your answer is in the 7.5 chapter " life after 2k" ... some words about PbP libraries max. size !!!
...
Alain
PS: These days, I've tried "PsOC Express" ( PSoC "Miniprog" for 35 US$ )and "Processor Expert" ( Boooo..., but got the Spyder discovery kit for ... 15 US$ !!! ) made me really feel PbP a bit " old fashionned way" ...
Would be great to use the MPLAB "Visual initializer" within PbP .... just as a first step !!!

Politicians ??
<br>
Darrel's query is right I think. Politicians promise but do not fulfil. The Melabs usually keeps the promisses if any... So? I too do not understand the term.
Alain:
I think we passed the 2k...! So now what?
Ioannis
Hi, Darrel
Yes, Politicians ...
Those who always answer :
" It's really a good question ... we'll create a commitee to look at this !!!
Next Question ??? "
And so on ...

Hi, Sayzer
What I really think is PbP has reached its maximum possibilities and cannot have more extensions now ...
All its structure might be changed ... as if you'd like to make a new version of DOS with visual interface - or vocal interface !!!
Hey, Darrel ... am I wrong ???
Alain
PS: Politicians always create the commitees ... another way to take money from the citizens !!!
My guess is that it's not generating enough revenue to warrant new refinements.Quote:

Time for an upgrade!
(and I feel another student question coming on...)
i have to agree there's place for new stuff and improvements. But it really do what's listed on their website... not much, not less, mature and stable. Just no more new bells and whistle.
Hi, Steve
Let's see what will come ... !!!
