it seems a waste to just throw it...
it's too easy these days to just throw something away and get a new one just coz of a little problem...
What happened to adaptation and flexability?
What ever happend to the atitude, "I can fix that!"?

I have a bucket of parts like that. Someday I will use them to make "artwork" , might even be displayed in our local gallery.Originally Posted by comwarrior
At some point we have to let go. It was a good PIC, and will be missed by all.
Seriously, I would not trust it now. Who knows what other damage it has.

i've determined that PBP is putting a jump followed by the assembled MAC file (macro's?) at the start of the rom...
Somehow i need to find away to get it to move it...
I once made a borg cube out of dead motherboards...
:edit
their is some code in pbppic14.lib that it places at the start of the rom. I sucessfully got it to place the code in an area of uneffected rom by editing the lib file...
It manually assembled without error...
winpic shows jumps in the first un-affected row 0000-0007 and then lib code at 0040 and my program exactly when i want it at 0800...
Excelent...
However... unfortunatly... it failed to verify at 0048... when i read it back it looks like the entire rom first page is completely trashed and not just in paturns... all the way down to 07BF...
Result... well, now i know an intimate part of how PB works... but also, the pic is trash...
Was it a waste of time?
Hell no, i know tonns more about how PB compiles/assembles and how the rom in a pic is filled...

Well, i not sure if your taking the micky or not...
But yes, i is serious...
I learned everything i know, wether it's IT systems, Web developement / dynamic content / eCommerce through to electronics and laws of physics etc by doing it, trying things out, making mistakes...
It may be in a lot of comedy sketches... but what does actually happen why you press the red button?
My first employment was with a process control company... they were using 8086's as their core processor and the processor boards cost them £2,000 each never mind and DAC's, ADC's, comms cards or digital IO...
Since i started working with pic's I keep thinking back to those times and can't help but think I can make a process controll system that half the size and a fraction of the cost...
Today i had confirmation from crownhill that my order of 2 16F877A's, 2 20MHz res, 1 18F4550 and 100 100K resisters has been dispatched...
I'm looking forward to playing with a pic18...
i have mentioned people on the picbasic forum in one of my utube video's about my pic controled pulse motor.
Most of my free time atm is spent testing and perfecting my lenzless generator...
Thanks All
