Hi, Olin,

Application is NOT for automated programming, but this is an interesting
item. Would it be possible to program PICs with individual serial number or
similar? Up to now we do this by entering a serial number via RS232, but
some devices don't have an USART and or EEPROM so for these it would be
interesting.

To let you know: There is a customer who is making many tests with a device
of us and therefore we constantly have to send re-programmed PICs. So my
thought was to give him a PicStart+ and a simple utility to let him
re-program the PICs by himself, only by sending a new hex file to him. I
don't want to let him install a complete MPLAB for I know, that he will make
many "strange things" for he is somewhat technophobic....

Regards

Peter

What application is this for?  Are you trying to automate programming bare
PICs in production?  If so, there are better ways.
