code download from dsPIC33F MCU

[yokel]

Hi,
I am a beginner in using MCU. I am using a dsPIC33F MCU for a project. I loaded my firmware in my MCU and it works fine. The problem is I have lost the firmware file in my PC. Is there any way to retrieve the code from my MCU?

thanks a lot in advance

hi

it's good that you start with the 16 bit controller at the beginning
you could have tried some 8 bit controllers and upgraded to the higher one
any way, the answer is
if your controller is not locked, you can read it
else forget it
better you use some software to retrieve the lost data from the PC
will be easier than cracking a locked controller

Please tell me how I can retrieve the firmware in this case.
