xxPICxx, ARM, 8051, PSoC Sample code repository
#28118 - Tue Jun 19 2007 06:16 PM

We are entertaining the idea of setting up a public subversion repository which could contain sample code submitted by various sources (us, you, 3rd parties) and I'm interested in what peoples thoughts on the matter may be. There are a lot of people willing to help out other members and we would like to recognise that by rewarding user submitted code with discounts, t-shirts and possibly even free products.

Another question is... what sorts of things would users like to see sample code for? I2C, USB, bootloaders, let me know.

The repository would also be linked to from the source share forums where we could also provide direct downloads of release revisions available.

Does this sound at all useful? I'd love to hear your comments.

Yes it does. My first thoughts are:

The repository will obviously need some kind of logical organization/hierarchy.
Only the code's custodian and HI-TECH should be allowed to modify it.
It should be clearly stated that contributed code lacking any specific license assumes a "public domain" disposition.

I think the idea of a code repository is very good. As Dan says, it'd need to be disciplined, but that's not an objection.

I'm not sure until I see the offerings, but I might offer (for example) some graphics and character generator utilities (the latter for creating your own bit-mapped characters of any width and height as C const unsigned char special[] = {"n,n,n,n,n,"}; strings, using Excel).

Thanks for your thoughts Frank. We're working on getting a public SVN repository online so hopefully we'll get people making the most of it.

We already had some kind of this inside the source share forum for PIC.
Using a SVN repository for it was a good idea, IMHO.
