Hi, Im trying to load an existing programme from FC8 onto a new batch of arduino nano's. The programme has previously downloaded and worked fine. The programme compiles fine but will not download to the new batch of nano's, Im getting a "micro not responding" error. Im assuming this is something to ...

Hi is it possible in FC8 to PEEK (look at without removing) the first byte on a UART buffer? This woud be really helpful in synchronising actions a serial data stream.

Hi,
With the V8 spi set to channel 1, everything works . Sorry I hadn't noticed this difference so had not tried it!
CAN works fine with the 8MHz in the arduino at 500baud.
Thanks again to MARTIX and everyone for your help!

Hi, Ive tried altering the RX to both mask / filter and accept all, the problem still exists (see attached FC8 file...) However, Ive tried running the same programme in FC7 (I thought FC7 had been deleted during the upgrade, but found it...) and the programme functions correctly with the check Rx re...

Second test file attached, using different target (pic 16f1937) with ebloc 006 and ebloc CAN board. again messages viewed using can tool sugest hardware is okay but "checkRx" macro not working. How do I check to see if there is a reply to the bug report? Does anyone know of a fix or work-around for ...

Hi, When opening historical programmes (written in FC 6 or FC7) with FC8, the port configuration for CAN module is automatically set to FC8 default (usually port e pins XX XX regardless of the actual device) and the original old port settings is lost. Is there anyway to recover or preserve the origi...

After more testing , Im now sure this is a component macro bug and have reported it

Hi, Im using an old programme (FC6 that used to work fine) in FC8. All works okay without change EXCEPT that the check for CAN message macro does not seem to return a 1 to indicate message received. I know the CAN buss is functioning as other systems are using it and messages are visible and as expe...

Hi,
Thanks to all for helping! Issue now seems to be sorted (including the update check button).

??? The "Help" check for updates says there are non needed or available (see screen shot) How do I update?

As a test, Ive started an entirely new project in FC8, (see attached pic) with a simple led flasher programme. If the CAN coms Icon is selected from the library and placed on the dash-board (2D), then the programme will not compile to hex or down load, even though there are no macros in the programm...

Hi,

Hi, Im trying to down load to an arduino mega a program that did work under FC7. The programme will not compile to hex or further download and an error message (attached) is generated. If I delete the CAN macro components, then the programme downloads no problem. I've tried deleting and re-installin...

Hi, the version Im using is checked and up to date according to the help.
Ill g0-look for the spi connection /pin but any help would be great!

Chris

Okay, The problem is a new one, when attempting to compile in FC8 using the CAN coms macro (see file attached), the error message (also attached) is displayed. I have tried deleting all CAN macro's / calls and the programme downloads no problem, as soon as I include a new CAN macro (CAN initialise) ...

Thanks Martin,
FC8 is saying there are no updates available i.e Im using the current version. But you have given me a lead... Ill try re-loading the CAN module as that is the only one that uses SPI and the error message seems to have the most problem with that...

Hi, Im using FC8 and cant get it to down load to an Arduino MEGA R3. This may be the same problem as Ive posted before, as the symptoms are the same (compiles to c, but not to HEX or any further)... but the suggested work a rounds don't fix the problem. The error message is also now different as wel...

Thanks Benj
Now I know, Ill just go-buy a R3 version!

Chris

Thanks for all your replies
I had checked the build setting and all looked okay.... Ill go-try with an MEGA R3 and see what happens!
Thanks again....

Having upgraded from FC7 to FC8, Im having problems down loading to the micro (Arduino MEGA 2560), no programmes sem to get passed the compile to hex stage, they all worked no problem in FC 7. The very simple light flash test programme is attached as is the error message generated when I try to comp...

Hi, Im trying to use the USB serial coms macro to communicate between the arduino UNO and a Rasberry Pi The test programme is very simple, just flashing an LED. Without the usb serial initialise macro, programme compiles to chip and works, but as soon as I add the usb serial initialise macro, the sy...

Hi,
fix installed and all now working
Thanks for you help!

Hi, Ive just tried to programme a DSPIC ECIO, it compiles to C fine, but on compiling to HEX, comes up with the (attached) error message. This isn't a new programme, it has worked before Im sure... The error message seems to say I haven't got the right licence? But I when I check, FC 7 says I have (...

Really impressed with both your technical help and the speed of response to messages!
