How to read Serial number programmed into PIC

[falingtrea]

Now I'm confused. I ran MeProg and looked everywhere, including the ini file and could not find anything about changing the location where the serial number is programmed, when using the automatic Serial Numbering option. I agree that you could put the serial number anywhere, but my point is that MeProg seems to hard code the Serial Number function to the ID memory locations. I am using the beta version of the software, which may or maynot make a difference.

Look at the JPG in the original post. The third textbox is "Starting Address." Not only do you get to select where the serial number goes, but you get to select the size of it, too.

Tenaja,

So there is indeed a way to read the programmed Serial number during run time. Can you show me an exmaple on how to read it? I am a rookie at reading EEPROMS from PIC's.

I have done it with a different compiler, the commands will not be the same in PBP.
Since MELabs makes PBP and the programmer, I think a short call to them will get you a trustworthy answer.
