OK I've tried the proximity program and could not get it to run on bluetooth. I wrote my own and to work like your program . Is there a way to get the buggy to speak the message? As it is now my laptop speaks message with the ir trigger (also works on light read) .I am thinking that maybe more peopl...

What is Formula AllCode Firmware V2 for ? Do we need to upgrade our buggies? Bill

Thanks for the guidance Ben, it seems to be that you can only have the API open if you want to run the cart threw bluetooth. I redid my octagon program and other than not stopping at the start point it ran fine. Now onto more advance things. Bill

OK frustration is building. I have had problems loading a program threw flowcode into the robot threw bluetooth. Very rarely do I get it to preform as I want it to. In your lessons you really do not put enough effort into instructing how to use it . Most program I try to run will not see the com4 fo...

OK , I've tried to load a program and I had no success . I am going out on a limb and thinking that the startup program you guys have in is an OS that I need to go into API mode to load a program? TIA Bill

I got my buggy today and now wonder where I can find out what is connected to what on the buggy. And when will the coarse online be available? Thanks, Bill

OK after hooking it all up it seems that I get the red LED to increase intensity but no others and my display works half assed . Back to the drawing board.

I had mad a rgb cube a while back and now I am trying to find what I like as the best colors to go threw it . So I have 3 5k variable resistors connected to acd and am matching that to 3 pwm's coming out of a arduino compatible board that I have laying around. I am also putting out the adc's numbers...

OK I figured it out. My Chip needed to be put to nano328 and then the comm speed issue went away. You guy had a hunch that I would figure it out didn't you? LOL

OK new problem with compiling to chip
avrdude.exe: invalid baud rate specified 'LCD_I2C.hex'
Error returned from [avrdude]

C:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\compilers\avr\batchfiles\avrc_arduinoA.bat reported error code 1

What does this mean ?

The LCD that I have is I2C and seems that you guys have that covered. Didn't get to try it yet (stupid American Football) but hope that I can try it tomorrow after work. Once again ,Thanks. Bill

Thanks Martin, yet another lesson learned by asking a question. Found what I needed to use for my new display.
Bill

Is there any components for a 4x20 serial LCD in FC6?

I don't know if anyone has asked this yet but are there any plans for Flowcode to be compatible with the Raspberry pi ? I got one from my son on Christmas and am just getting started with it. Thanks.
Bill

LOL, now that was easy . I looked at your 1st example and saw in the properties menu where you list each channel of PWM and saw that they have a output pin associated with it and that I kept using PWM1 in my program which would then relate to $PORTD.6 . Lesson learned - thank you once again. :wink: ...

Thank you , once again you have come threw and shown me how to do something in Flowcode. It works well. Now all I have to do is figure out how you decide which PWM pin get selected on this and I will be on my way. Thanks again, you guys never cease to answer a question that even I can wrap my head a...

Thanks for the sketch. I still am not getting the LED to light with pwm .Do I need the LED to be connected threw the resistor to ground or to the 5 v? I can get it to work using the Arduino compiler in "C" but not threw the flowcode software.
Bill

Sorry I forgot to attach it.

Can someone give a example of lighting a LED on digital pin #9 as a pwm. My attempts seem to be coming up short. I have the the LED wire threw a resistor to ground and when I use the LED component macro it lights fine but on the simulation my pwm meter work like it should but in actual circuit not l...

Has anyone tried to run flowcode on an android tablet system? Bill

Does flowcode support the Trinket AVR/Arduino ?

Bill

Sorry it took so long to get back .I've tested the program and it works as it is suppose to , but I've yet to try the circuit in a real world environment to see if it will do what I wanted it to do. A BIG THANKS once again to all who helped me out with this and educated me further in flowcode and PI...

OK, one more stupid question. The Master Clear Enable my choices are internal or external which on disables this?

Bill

Martin, thank you so much. I've now got 2 examples that both work doing it slightly different ways. I love it. I can't wait to wire it up and try it.

Bill

OK after playing with this for a while I noticed that if I get a fail the relay on (green LED) comes on but if the phase fail goes away the only way to turn off the Green LED is to power off or reset the program. I don't think this would be a big problem because the phase fail is usually a fuse in t...
