We have a Flowcode V1 demo on our website, which should give you an idea how Flowcode works. Most of the V2 changes are under the hood, so V1 and V2 operate in a similar manner. If you are an Educational institution looking at using Flowcode for your courses and will be buying site licences we can s...

CoCo locks up checking for interfaces.
Fix for potential problem with CoCo locking up whilst launching whilst checking for interfaces. If you have a Bluetooth or other Comms device that is using a number of COM ports (e.g. Bluetooh using Ports 3-22 etc.) then CoCo may be unable to check those COM ports and may jam. What you basically nee...

It is possible to use most programmer software with our products. All of our PIC courses and products use MPLAB to create industry standard asm and hex files. If your programmer can handle hex files it will most likely work fine with opur products. One simple method is to use your programmer to pick...

Hi, Are you running in LVP mode? If so please ensure that all the jumpers are in the correct position for LVP programming: PSU/USB jumper to USB. IO/LVP pins - set appropriate pin to LVP (B3 for the F88) In PPP Config set LVP to enabled. Note that Full power (a PSU) is required to enable/disable LVP...

Hi WayupThere,
Can you email me at support@matrixmultimedia.co.uk about this.
I have a ZNTPORT install exe that may help get ZNTPORT set up, or at least rule out it being install issues.

Hi, 1) I'm playing around with RS232 (with a PIC16F88). Is it possible with flowcode to choose between Asynch and synchronous (master or slave) mode? Is there a way to use the 9th bit? If not, can it be implemented in flowcode 3? Most things can be done within Flowcode using C or ASM. If you know t...

Working out Config words - esp. for other programmers.
One handy tip is to use PPP to calculate the config words. Use the Configure PIC option to open the PPP config screen. Manually select the chip you want in advanced config mode. If you have the simple config screen click on the Options button and uncheck 'use simple config'. You can then change the ...

It's mostly component connections and other settings etc. for components. E.g. if you are using the SPI component it will create defines like: #define MX_SPI_C #define MX_SPI_SDI 4 These are used to pass information on to the rest of the code. In this example we are saying that we are using Port C f...

PICmicro programs use CONFIG words to tell the Chip how to set itself up. E.g. whether to use XT or RC clock mode, whether to turn the watchdog timer off etc. These config words can be either embedded into the code, or set by the programmer. Flowcode assumes that you will use PPP, or your own progra...

You can get input from the dimmer as an analogue value, but all outputs are on or off digital logical levels. You can input the dimmer anlogue signal, get the dip switch position...

Using the internal clock on the 16F88 chip

The 31.25khz clock can be used as is by setting the clock setting to INTRC as Port IO or INTRC as Clock out. In Flowcode set t...

These two tutorials display a message and a clock respecively.
Hopefully that should help get you going.
