Have you? interfaces! - MLAB <-> ICD2 interface (RS232/USB) - MLAB <-> third party programmer software I am not stating that uChip is doing too little, or doing bad compared to others. I wouldn't know what to base such a verdict on. This thread started with a request for suggestions for how uChip could do better, compared to what they do now. Just that: suggestions. It is/would be up to uChip to evaluate such suggestions (as undoubtedly they evaluate their own ideas) on cost/yield, or whatever other criteria they want to use.
