Thanks for the python info, i will download and install tonight. I was running out of new things to learn, down to only 4 or 5.

I agree with the updating and the web access.

I also agree starting with the configs will be a great start and instantly useful.(always a good thing)

new file vs database vs direct read on the fly. hmm, I am not sure about the extra time for the direct read. do you think we are talking seconds, minutes? big pro to me for the direct read would be the .inc files are maintained by microchip, so in theory they will always be up to date.

sounds to me like the operation and use is the same as I was thinking, so I second that.

instead of copy and paste, I was thinking the file itself would just be opened and start coding from there.

Sorry if this is a stupid question,but how a web based app will find those *.inc files?

Aren't they stored locally in he MPLAB folder?

They would have to be uploaded.

[Ioannis]

OK. I feel very stupid... Thank you!

No reason to feel that way.
I tried finding them on MicrChip's website with the idea of scraping from there. Looks like the only place to find them is on our hard drives.

I wonder how often they are updated?

[Ioannis]

Hmm, Every time a new MPLAB appears? I can do that.

I have never paid any attention, even "old" chips have their *.inc changed/updated?
That would make this project only usable to those with a certain version of MPLAB.

I have not updated for awhile, still have MPLAB 8.0 .
If your are using a newer version does yours match this?
