when 128k is not enough

[towlerg]

due to issues concerning the developer that we were using for the PC-side executable.

So what part of a compiler isn't PC-side?

Anyways, even if they released a new compiler tomorrow (which they clearly are not) you'd still have to port your code to a new compiler (would you base a commercial product on version 1.0.0.0 of a compiler?) and there are already several mature options , one you've already mentioned and Proton24 (which I see supports several 256k Flash PIC24 devices). It looks like you've got to bite the bullet one way or another.

As I said before, fascinated to hear your progress.

587000 floating point records extracted from a 14 million record database plotted and displayed on a hdmi screen , converted and exported to a png file , time < 15 sec
raspberry pi -python
data is fed from wireless weather station every 48sec captured by a pic 12f1822 with rfm01 wireless module and uploaded to the pi via i2c
its a good combination.
its going to leave a pic24 for dead


ps the graph is interactive when viewed live on the pi
