Hello Mister-e,

M>>This is maybe off topic but is there any existing program to take an EEPROM dump (.bin, .hex...) from a PC an send it by COM port??? I know that can be done easily but why reinvent the wheel???<<

Lets first get this straight.... Are you wanting to take data from your computer and transfer it to the PIC chip? or Take data from the PIC chip and transfer it to the computer?

Either way, PBP has serial communication that you can do data transfer with... Both directions. You may have to go at a slow baud rate...2400 or less (probably 300 for solid reliablity). I have used the old Procomm communication program for dos, to send/receive data to the PIC chip.

If this is not in the general direction of your question, I am sorry... I guess I misunderstood your quesiton.
