Hello Ben, many thanks for this Powerstep example! Still had problems sending the right SPI protocol so we had the first system build with a simple digital pulse controlled for now. With this example can try to change it to the better PowerStep01 driver, indeed needed a working basic example wich i ...

Hi, after struggling some days with sending bytes from Arduino/ATMEGA328P to a L6470PD steppingmotor driver chip, using the SPI-master component, please your tips how to sort out this function. An Arduino.INO example for this L6470 chip does work on the same hardware configuration, so this is good. ...

Many thanks LeighM,
with this knowledge now i can cross these settings to the corresponding SPI Modes!

Hi, using the SPI master function for programming an Arduino / ATMEGA328P, we would like to setup the SPI mode and Bitorder. In the SPI Master component found no settings for this, and copying the C-code from a arduino.INO file does not work because of missing SPI.library.... Like to set these 2 par...

Hello, searching for a Component or Flowcode example for controlling a PowerStep01 driver chip (ST) as single chip or on a X-nucleo-ihm03a1 prototyping module. See https://www.st.com/en/motor-drivers/powerstep01.html My hardware setup runs in a factory demo application, but now try to control it tro...

--SOLVED-- Oops, just found out the cause for this errors.. At placement the Stepper motor components it is standard initialised at PortA0-A3. The Arduino chip has only PortB-PortD. Configuring the coil output properties to Port C0-C3 did the trick, now works fine without errors. Anyway Medelec35, t...

Hi, trying to get a Stepper motor working in FC8 with Arduino Uno R3 SMD. Tried with both OUTPUTS/GENERIC and NEMA8 components in a new file. At compiling only getting ERROR CODE 1 after a series of Undeclared.... lines, see below. Updated version of FC8.2 and the Stepmotor components seem to have n...

Hi, using FC8 and Arduino Uno SMD rev3 i would like to readout ADC6 (pin 19) and ADC7 (pin 22). These pins are available directily on the TQFP-CPU, but they are normally not connected to the headers on the Arduino Uno board. After transferring this CPU circuit to our own PCB board design they are av...

Thanks for the quick reply Ben!
While waiting for a corrected Mloader version we will use the PPP workaround.

Hello, after upgrading from Flowcode PIC v4.5 to the new V6.1 we would like to start using PIC18F4523. However, at programming the PIC18F4523 at the EB006 programmerboard, via PROGRAM TO CHIP command, the Mloader Error message appears: Onboard chip does not match the given chip. Version 3.01 Board T...

Thanks Ben, will leave unused pins floating then!
regards, Luuk

Hi, in most digital designs the un-connected input pins of any chip have to be connected to the GND or VCC level, as floating pins can pickup noise etc, causing instable circuits. In wich way this is neccessairy for the Microchip PIC-controllers? Now using Flowcode4 at a PIC16F883, wich has about 12...

Hello, for a new project i need to display an actual temperature value on the 4x 7Segment display E-block. For normal positive values this is working fine: the integer-variable Actual_TEMP is separated in 4 digits (by the MOD/100 etc. lines) and then via an TRM0_INT send and multiplexed to the LED-d...

Thanks for the quick reply Steve!
i understand, this must be useable.

Hi, as new user of Flowcode with little C/Pascal experience i really think this is a great way of programming, in just one morning have created a full functioning switching thermometer with LCD display. Would have not done that in any way on the good old MPLAB environment ;-) But, still some questio...
