is there a way to retrieve the source code again?

[guest]

Hi,
I accidently deleted all the source code, but I still have the object flashed in the chip. I could read the object file from the chip out ( I hope!)
Is there a way can we convert from the object file to the source code again?

Many thanks.
Jim

yeah, you can retrieve the assembly, but it will be all hexadecimal digits and assembly code. You're better off re-writing the program from scratch.

I think you would use MPLAB to do that. And the chip must not be secured from reading.

A disassembler will get you the assembly code. There is probably one out there somewhere for your PIC. I know of no way to get the C code back.
Beware some may suspect you are trying to steal someone else's code!

The list file includes the source, with editing its posible to recover the source.

Look in the recycle bin
