Re: Idependant flash rates needed

Hi timo , this might sound a bit obvious but maybe you missed this. As the program only does one instruction at a time, and you are using your adc to cause a delay....a delay as in halting the program in it`s tracks....the rest of the program will also be delayed until the delay ends which then all...

Re: flowcode Help

Hi steve22, you ought to have a list of demo programs in your instalation of flowcode but you need to go through them one at a time as they are listed with a number. I have attached one of these demo files here, this one uses a switch to cycle through a number of leds , these leds represent an incre...

Re: PWM input?

Hi flint, i have just had a look at the great little program of yours that you sent me via `pm post`. Although i have no hardware to try it out on it is the sort of program that i would use so i have added it to my ` program toolbox `and even better, you have managed it without using `c` code. Well...

Re: pic chip freezes on startup

Hi walkover , thanks for the tips. I have a voltage divider setup using a 1k potentiometer to get a spread of 0v - 5v, this then supplies the ADC. I am supplying the servo from a separate battery. Yes i have the 100nf capacitor in place....with other capacitors as well. I can get a small test progr...

pic chip freezes on startup

Hi guys , can you please help with this problem?. I have got my pwm servo program to read 2 voltage inputs via ADC, the program generates PWM signal then the program adjusts PWM signal depending on the outcome of the ADC.

Re: Using modulus

Hi ondra, i thought i would go one better than my last post. i have put a demo simple maths routine together, dowload the program `mod` and just run it so that you can see flowcode variables.

Re: Using modulus

Hi ondra, i used it in my servo program , this is what i used :

servo_val = ( servo_pos[port_counter] )
servo_l = ( servo_val MOD 3 ) * 85
servo_h = 31 + ( servo_val / 3 )

Re: PWM input?

Hi flint, I have a couple of thoughts that you may be interested in. You mentioned you had a 10mhz oscilloscope, assuming this means you are able to read 10mhz signal and not got a max bandwidth of 10mhz ie. You need an oscilloscope rated 20 - 30mhz bandwidth, some say you will need a bandwidth 10 ...

Re: PWM input?

Hi flint, Just one other point i would like to mention. As it is inevitable that you will end up using `C` code within flowcode, this renders the flowcode debugger pretty much unusable as the debugger does not read `C` code. So while your pondering about how to tackle your project, i would also have...
