A header wizard

[prstein]

I love Delphi two! But my source code is raw. I'm not professional programmer. And what for to you a code? May be, when I will complete, the source code will be shared, but I am not assured...

Hello Slazonger,

I am working on a roughly similar sort of program for the PICBASIC Pro compiler, mostly for fun. It would be interesting to see another person's way of approaching some of the problems.

I've learned most of my programming by reading books and practicing. I do get paid to program, but mostly because I work in a very specialized industry. If there is anything I can do to to help with your program let me know--I talk to very few Delphi programmers. I will make the source code for my program freely available in about a week.

Best Regards,
Paul

Hey Bert,
Something more for you to play with.

I am glad Paul is doing one that actually works.

I, as well as you, studied delphi a trial and error method, looking periodically in books. Don't misunderstand, but I don't want to spread source code from the left unfinished program. This program was developed only for two languages - Russian and English, and contains some decisions to which I guessed itself, and also the lines containing Russian words. I consider that this code isn't optimum and isn't practical. It will be simply a shame to me with it. And I want to correct it taking into account many factors. Also GUI leaves much to be desired. While the program is accessible in a network to users. I wrote it to lift interest of the Russian users to PICbasic. But, as I have already written, it is difficult to find a place where it is possible to find PBP or Proton in Russia. All know pleasure which you test at use license software. Here with it it is difficult and expensive if to buy abroad.
Simply, get acquainted with carried out functions. If there are questions, write [email protected]

Hello All,

Just wanted to let you all know that I've been working diligently on the header wizard. I've had to effectively re-write the whole thing. I also wrote a utility that parses the various files (dev, inc, and some spreadsheets I made) to create a single text configuration file. This way the app won't have to depend on files from anywhere else, but can easily be updated as new chips are added.

On the down side, my self-imposed deadline for having a new beta for the weekend is going to slip. I've got some actual work-work (the kind that pays bills) with a hard deadline coming up.

On the bright side, I really have been working at this project obsessively. The time I've spent reading datasheets and trolling through the inc and dev files will pay off as the project is expanded.

So I'll figure another week. Don't hesitate to harass (gently) if I go too long without posting something...

Best Regards,
Paul

That sounds like the BRIGHT side!!!

I've been spending my free moments working on this application. I think I've gotten it basically working (at least for some basic PBP defines, pull-ups, port latches and states, and now the ADC) and I'm doing some debugging and prettying it up a little. It detects if comparators and usarts are present but doesn't do any of those configurations yet.

But, I'm gonna take the rest of the night off...8^) Just wanted to let you know it is still active and moving forward. Possibly Wednesday for the next beta.

Best Regards,
Paul

Thanks again Paul.
I am looking forward to it.
