Title: Downloading the EEPROM to a computer
Post by: 555 timer chip guy on February 22, 2008, 11:01:44 AM

Can you download the contents of the EEPROM of a PICAXE or PIC onto the computer?

using ic-prog you can.

Also you can just get the pic to read it and place the values onto the serial registers to be read through the uart. Maybe you would benefit from programming a serial report function into your programming.

ie
char reportchar = read_eeprom(address)
uartputc(reportchar)
