A header wizard

[Slazonger]

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.

Hi All,

Got the new version for you to try out (attached).

Incidentally, from now on I'll just keep updating this file with the latest version.

There are now two files within the zip file. Jut unzip these to the same folder. No paths to MPASM or PBP are required. It will create an ini file (again in that same folder) that currently just retains the last PIC selected.

If you've followed the thread this far you should be able to figure out how to work it. There are extra tabs that appear (Comparator, USART, etc.) that don't do anything yet other than appear when appropriate for the selected PIC. The output is rough but accurate, I believe...

Please let me know any errors, bugs, problems, or inconsistencies, you run into. I'll work on any of these that show up over the next few days then dive back into comparator setup.

Best Regards,
Paul
