Hi Benj
It does appear that Bit defender may be the problem, hopefully our IT are allowed to add flowcode to the exclusions list.

Thanks Gary

Hi Benj Thanks for your input, yes It is frustrating for me as I just want to make it work We are apparently using Bit Defender Have just timed the download process, previously I had given up @ about 10 minutes, but have now sat with stop watch and ............. succesfully compiled and downloaded a...

Still No joy with getting flowcode to work. May have to rethink and drop using flowcode in our lab permanently and find an alternative solution using some other software and re design our lab practicals. Having to use a forum like this to resolve issues is not very satisfactory as I am relying on ot...

Hi
1.Looked at Task manager : process = boostc_16f.exe*32 is using 24% CPU

2.After clicking Cancel and Close the window task manager still shows 24%

eventually used end process to stop task

Hi Steve
Latest from our IT
Our Information Security team has reviewed the logs made in my area and we can see that Bitdefender hasn’t blocked or interfered with any activity.

Any other suggestions ?

Hi John
I only have the usb lead to the board attached, I have 9 PC's in my lab and they all have the same problem

We have had our computers replaced in my laboratory, and Flowcode no longer works.
It hangs at the preprocessor stage (see attachment)
Can you help ?
This is urgent as I am expecting students in the lab v soon

Hi Benj
I tried the channel advice but didn't work, so out of desparation / Inspiration I added another Restart after label "Send Module Addr Read" and it now works.
I don't understand why the V5 version worked but not V6, but it works so happy days.

Thanks Gary

Hi Benj
Have attached program to look at.

Thanks Gary

Hi
I tried using a previously successful working program created with Flowcode V5 which used I2C and HP488 to communicate with CMPSO3 compass module.
When I tried loading and compiling to chip the same program using Flowcode V6 it doesn't work.
Any ideas for a fix.
Thanks Gary

I don't seem to be able to find miac expansion modules in flowcode v6 6.0.9.0
having upgraded to v6 and bought miac + advanced expansion module bit dissapointed

Have managed to fix the problem

In compiler options / programmer /parameters :
was
-cs 1 -chip PIC %p -nogui "%f.Hex"
changed to :
config -chip %p "%f.Hex"
and all is working, I don't understand the parameters so if someone could explain I would be grateful

thanks for all replies cheers Gary

If I use the suggested address in the speech component I just get audible clicks, but if I guess an address value eg 14 it works fine. Is there any way I can determine the size of my program in bytes?. Then I can insert my speech address after this value. Or is it not as simple as that do I need to ...

Sorry for posting this as a new topoic but I did not think it would be read if it was posted as a reply. I am still unable to use the speech component. I have placed the new PIC_speech.c file in the component directory but still get the following message. "Error loading macro data from speech(0) Ple...

Hi Ben
I added the new speech component to the components directory and restarted flowcode, but still get the same error loading speech macro.
