    well I really only have 4 different chips. The benefit for me is that I don't have to pour over the data sheet to find all the different setup options and make sure they are turned on or off. And I really don't do stuff with them often enough to retain a good working knowledge of them.

    I guess it would be more useful for the programmer who doesn't work with it all the time.

    Thank you for the input.

    Well that is why forums like this are handy. There is almost always someone with an answer.

    A very usefull tool that answers some of the questions is mister e PicMultiCalc.
    It has a baud rate calculator, time calculator and some other stuff.

    Then the config options can be found for each chip in the Pxxx.inc file in the MPASM directory.

    But again. It is easier for us to answer questions than it is to make a large data base.

    Hmmm. Might be good extra credit for a student...
    Or a community supported data base.
    Darn it. Now you got me thinking about how something like this could be put together.

    Community supported database, that's the words I was looking for in my first post.

    I posted this here in the "wish list" section, assuming the GUI part could be done by the pbp developers, so it would be an integrated part of mcs. Then "we" the community would build the database based on our needs.

    I suppose an alternate solution would be, either a: if mcs supports plugins, we could develop it. Or b: just a stand alone app. I don't like that approace as much, cuz it won't feel intgreted.

    The forum is a canned system from V Bullitin so we can not do anything tied directly to it.

    But Lester has made free websites available to forum users so maybe we could play with something there.

    I will do some poking around. Could be fun.

    I was thinking something along the lines of SQL with a web interface (python of course).

    To add data a form page would be used, so we will need to figure out what all this thing should do so a standard form can be used. Might have to have a couple standard forms, 16Fs and 18Fs.

    Then a form for to set the parameters for the header.

    Just a bit of planning to do.

    Anyone else with ideas?

    Maybe fuse configuration would be a good place to start?
