Noting the sensible suggestion elsewhere on this forum that the MK158 kit could be used to learn about interfacing LCD displays to PIC microcontrollers, may I ask if Velleman would consider releasing the source code for the application which is burnt into the supplied PIC16F630?
This could then be used as the basis for self-instruction or further experimentation and customisation.
The downloadable mk158.zip contains the VB source code for the Message Upload and Serial Display applications for a Windows PC, but does not have the source code for the microcontroller.
[Since the kit is supplied as a dedicated ‘appliance’ I understand why the code is not supplied by default, as it will probably be of no interest or revelance to the majority of purchasers, but I would find it very useful for my current project of interfacing a GPS receiver to an LCD display.]
