Um, what beta testing did you do exactly?

I mean, beta testing implies that you're in a "recognized" group of beta-testers who are testing stuff and providing performance feedback to the developers.

It also implies that you are "slightly higher up the food chain" than the average user.

I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this Steve.

Regards,

Once i buyed AND register my compiler, i've been asked to join the BETA TESTER team (yeah no freebies, no better price, not much advantage than other user but a newer compiler version... also named BETA version ). I WAS a beta tester for few months, trying, get issues, trying to find fix, posting in the 'Hidden' BETA TESTER area, got some reply from a person X, finnaly post 1-2 question elsewhere, never gpt any replys.... SO i found that it wasn't my place and more than likely the people who i posted those comments/question/fixed didn't care so i finnally gave up but keep my 'kind of privilege'.

Few months later, i post my comment on a specific thread, wich seems to have chucked some sensitive CROWNHILL'S developper and/or developper's friend... so they gently remove me from the team. Period.

i think it's enough. Wanna have more comments and the whole story, the related thread? => PM.

Oh by the way...

If you're so totally in love with Proton, why on earth do you spend so much time on the PBP forum?

Why are you not sharing your obvious wealth of knowledge with Proton users on their forum?

Yeah i know you`re e registered PBP owner but, if PROTON is the only you use...

Also read the Proton todays post under 18F8722 AND Consider this

Added support for devices: - v3.1.7
18F6310, 18F6390, 18F6410, 18F6490, 18F6520, 18F6525, 18F6621, 18F6622, 18F6627, 18F6722
18F8310, 18F8390, 18F8410, 18F8490, 18F8520, 18F8525, 18F8621, 18F8627, 18F8722

When all you have done is to copy/paste "14-bit core" header files, is this really added support?

No one could have ever tested a "single line of code" on these new processors with this
NEW version of this compiler, so how the hell do they know the compiler works with them?

Why should anyone trust a compiler when they can't even get the header files correct?

I simply do NOT have the time to sit & verify hundreds of header files against a datasheet
before I use the compiler or a new PIC. Even an old PIC. How do I trust the header files if
I don't sit down & verify "every single one" first?

These files are "WAY" too important to simply clone for all new processors.

Do "I" trust it. Absolutely NOT.

Oh well i guess i'd go "WAY" too far this time. Sorry for sensitive ears

Well, first of all Steve, in answer to your question (which kind of sounds like my 13 year old is asking it), I actually come in here to help people, and rarely to "start" a conversation about PDS versus PBP. If you hadn't noticed, I didn't start this thread. Besides, your question is kind of silly. You have more posts on the PDS forum than I have on this forum so, "if you're so totally in love with PBP...", well, you get my point.

Anyway, I browse the PBP forum and see if there's something general that I can help people with (i.e. hardware, logic flow). For instance, I noticed that someone wanted a program that would back up code automatically. So, I wrote a piece of software that works with PBP and PDS. I did that to help other PIC programmers. But, maybe, I shouldn't bother contributing on this forum any more.

In any case, I didn't join this thread to start trouble, just to provide a little balance. And, as for your "Proton beta tester" contributions, I've heard both sides of the story regarding this and, personally, I wouldn't rate you too highly as a Proton authority. Something tells me your DJ skills are probably suspect too.



Have a nice day.

As i told i was a BETA TESTER

Have a nice day as well

Sir:

Have you tried Porting PDS "SD file system" fom Proton to PBP? I am in need of help using MMC and SD as a scoreboard logger and directly output as excel file

Yours Trully,
Ryan

Uh. You've picked a strange thread to place your post on, and an even stranger choice of member. I don't use PBP anymore.
However, I'm sure that there are some members here who oculd help.
Post your question in the "mel PIC BASIC Pro" section maybe.

Cheers.

Too bad!!!

I have made several Industrial project on PBP, i using PBP since 1999, All my prjects are running with great stability. I have also purchased ( Second hand PDS with usbdongle) only for 32 bit ( LONG ) variable. but stability not seen ( Strange Wrong behavior in industrial environment in my NC Milling machine. ).

But. Now PBP have 32 bit var. & I think mister_e's keypad routine and Darrel Taylor 's LCD BARgraphs, Instant Interrupts and enypin routine makes it easy and more powerfull.
