Some questions about WRITECODE

[The Master]

Hello again! I got paid the other day so ive ordered PBP from www.crownhill.co.uk. If anyone doesnt believe me ive put "Spook Technologies" on the order and my name "Paul Smith" so you can check with them that an order has actually been placed.

I would appreciate it if people wouldnt jump to conclusions so fast. Either 1 of 2 things happened. I was using the demo in which case you think i should buy it anyway because i use it a lot, or i downloaded a version which isnt exactly legit and i didnt know it. Either way it seems you think i need to buy it so i have done. Hopefully this will proce that my intentions are good. I would like it if you didnt accuse me of illegally downloading software without good proof too. The only fact is that i hadnt paid for it. That doesnt mean its illegal. As i have said before when you said there was the possibility that it wasnt legal i removed it from my PC.

Just to clarify things. I do have web browsers installed on my PC. The correct statement should be "I do not have any P2P apps installed". I do not illegally download anything unless it appears genuine and i havnt picked up on it. That goes for software and music. Please, nobody make any claims that my vinyl collection was illegally downloaded (joking)

When PBP arrives i will make it my first job to read the manual that comes with it. Most of the questions i have asked here are about the circuits themselves so after reading the manual i shouldnt have many (if any) programming questions.

Hi Paul,

Great to have you on board, PBP is expensive over here and it is a shame the exchange rate is so poor at the moment, so that was a big decision. You have really stepped up to the mark

I was wrong to say that most of your questions could be answered by the manual, you are quite correct in that your posts are mainly general electronic, sorry

No matter what the green stuff is on the outside of a PCB, who on earth chose that hospital green on the outside of the manual!!

Ive not read the manual yet (not arrived yet) but its possible that most of my programming questions could be answered by it although im quite good at programming so i dont ask many of them.

I do agree, from the picture ive seen, i wouldnt have chosen that color for the manual

No reason not to have read the manual. It is right here.

I did find that the other day. Im gonna wait for the book though because if im reading it on the PC i will be tempted to stop reading and do something else and ive paid for the book so i might aswell use it.

Thanx anyway

I agree. there is nothing yet to replace hard copy certainly for me. I print out everything I am using, datasheets etc (relevant sections). Apart from the fact I have to make the "file" I have printouts of at least the summary of ALL components as I purchase them with the order ref and supplier noted.

I just find I cannot reference material properly from the screen, I too get distracted.

of course the advantage for Paul is that he will have the latest manual 7/07 or later, the melabs version on the web site is 5/02 and does not cover PBP 2.50


Time to put the kettle on.........anyone for tea??

Never noticed that, just figured it was being updated.
