pic code help

Maybe it was "left as an exercise for the reader". ;-D

Cheers! Rich

I built a "home alarm system" published in Elektor electronics magazine, january '99 for my school asignment. The problem is that I don't have the code for the processor. So if anyone knows where I could get it or maybe has it and would like to share it, I would be very gracefull.....

Elektor usually supplies programmed chips for their projects, in many cases the source code isn't available.

Ahhh........... *for sale* - lol.

Considered writing the code from the flow diagram ?

First: Do not multipost. If you want to post to different newsgroups, address them at the same time.

As you seem to have the equipment to program the PIC, learn PIC-programming. Tools are available from Microchip for free. As you have a flowchart already, it can not be that difficult and you really learn something but copying from a magazine only.

Well, you have four choices:

1. Buy the code on a floppy from the UK and have it shipped (mailed) to you. You might have them e-mail it for a small fee.
2. Code it yourself from the block diagram plus what ever you want the device to do.
3. Employ a PIC expert to program it for you. Maybe you can get a friend to do it for nothing if it's a moderate project.
4. Forget about it! Do something else.

In any case even if you have the code, you may have to compile it and someone will have to program a part before you have anything useful. Are you prepared for that part of the project? Bob

Why is it 'hard to get'?. Elektor will ship to any country in the world, for a small extra fee. Email them, I had their CD, including all the articles for 2003, sent to Soutn Africa for a friend, with no problems at all.

Best Wishes

looks like that's just what I'll have to do.... I asked becouse I'm a litle short with time but I got some book on pic programing so I'll give It a try ....thanks anyway!

AFAIK elektuur has a UK branch, so you could buy from them.

Alternatively: check EPE magazine.
