Wiki: Instructions to Revert to Original CatGenie Program #2

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. User follows wiki how-to on programming the CatGenius software
2. User realizes that they prefer the original CatGenie software
3. User realizes that there are no instructions on how to go back

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
EXPECTED: The wiki explains to use the PICKIT 3 to read the original program 
and save it to a file before programming CatGenius.  If not possible, then 
include a note that it is not possible.  Additional instructions on how to 
revert to the original product software would be helpful, if they deviate from 
the current how-to.
ACTUAL: Wiki how-to with instructions that will overwrite the original program 
w/o saving it.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm not using CatGenius because of this issue.

Additional info.
I do not know enough about PICs to be sure there is a route to revert back to 
the original software.  I'm reading the 16F1939 processor doc and I've read 
enough to figure out that there is a code-protect feature that may prevent my 
PICKIT3 programmer from accessing the original image.  I just don't know enough 
to figure out if this is really true (or if it is enabled in the original 
product).  I'd prefer for someone knowledgeable to state it in the wiki before 
I proceed to use CatGenius.
