Myke, Did you not receive my post? I sent that directly to you as well as to
the list and I received a conformation of the post via the list. I also
added your EMU-II to the list of development tools at piclist.com. I also
copied that post (with your post attached) to Tony Nixon, Dan Michaels, my
local FAE, and everybody else I could think of that might have an interest.

As I said in that post, I'm VERY interested in seeing things like this that
are low cost and allow good debugging / faster development supported by the
PICList.

Of course, the pros on the list have no interest as a primary development
environment as they have all purchased thousands of dollars of professional
equipment, but to students and hobbyists who are getting into the PIC, I
heartily recommend trying this as a way of reducing the initial cost.

Also, pros who want to have a remote debugging ability in each production
device, your EMU-II and Tony's ROMZap are a godsend. Errr... well... that
sort of conflicts with your license but I'm sure something could be worked
out.

Also, the EMU-II works without host dependency so Linux users should flock
to it as an ICD replacement.

When its not a pro tool, sometimes the pros don't comment on it and then the
newbies aren't sure if that means something bad, and they don't get on it.
So it takes awhile. Just give it some time, people will find it on the list,
I'll remind them, people will use it.

Subject: [PICLIST] No Interest in EMU-II?


Hi Folks,

I thought I would resend this email because I hadn't received any replies
from my one this weekend announcing that I had put up an initial version of
the EMU-II.

This is a PIC16F87x based Emulator which does NOT use the internal Debug/ICD
features of the chip - although it does use the built in Program Memory
Flash read/write capabilitys of it.  It is quite simple to build and should
be a pretty good 18 pin PICmicro MCU emulator.

It is source code compatible with MPLAB-ICD (which is to say that the first
instruction of the pplication must be a "nop") but allows full use of PORTB.

You can see the schematic (in PostScript) format, along with the source code
and instructions for using the EMU-II at:

http://www.myke.com/PICMicro/emu-ii.htm

I'm anxious to hear what you think,

myke
