Hi Peter my success is much higher than that BUT I have found some PICs wont
program correctly on some programmers though the s/w indicates the ought to.
I would say if you are not using a Microchip programmer and s/w this might
be part of the cause.?? This is one I have run into.

Reasons for lack of source inclusde, shyness and not wanting to be cricised
for poor or naive programming. Producing commented source is quite a labour
intensive job. If an "outsider" is to understand exactly what you have done.
Many who reuse chunks of code cant be bother with the hassle

Then I have seen code "stolen" and used for profit making ventures, or 98%
copied, without any reference to the originator. Does it matter.....well it
does to some people. The code is the majority of the investement in a PIC
project. Remember a assembly coders stock-in-trade is a large collection of
small routines which he used continually to achieve standard operations.
Because these are used more than once they are usually well tested.

I like to see source because I can learn how to write it myself from other
peoples approaches. The most exasperating thing is if you suspect a bug (not
just not working, but an exotic one)  you have no way of. helping the
originator

Subject: LF: PIC Projects with no HEX code




Success rate is about 10% on projects with the HEX code attached.

If people don't want their projects duplicated then don't publish them
FCS!!!

Its pointless!


M0fmt exasperated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
