Post by thread:[PIC]: Pocket serial

Hi all, Whew! Long lunch. The Pocket now has the abillity to keep a 16 bit serial number tagged to each HEX file and automatically incremented after each programming sequence takes place. This feature can be enabled or disabled and modified under a new menu item. -- Best regards Tony mICro's http://www.picnpoke.com spam_OUTsalesTakeThisOuTpicnpoke.com -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.

Sounds excellent! Do we get a choice of where in ROM we want the 16 bit number to be placed? ;o) -Roman -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.

Can we also choose the font? Can it be bold or italic? Variable font size? Proportionately spaced? Fr. Tom McGahee {Original Message removed}

Wouldn't that be 256 colors? Fr. Tom McGahee ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan B.

>could I... You could, if you'd do it the way I did it, which was to have a 32 bit incrementing counter for serial numbers and the following options: - At what address to put the serial number - How many bytes to use out of the 32 bit number (1,2,3 or 4) - Whether to use the number proper or a hashed version thereof In every case I had the program append a single line to a log file, containing the date and the number written, plus the counter value. I could also set the starting number. There is more detail on this in previous postings of mine to the piclist (some months ago).
