Re: Problem with the WS2812B component in PIC32MX370F512H MCU

Hi Lagoda, Sorry that you haven't had a reply for a while. Sometimes posts get missed or forgotten about (on this and the new forum) as everyone is always busy, and I think this has happened to you here. We're still actively supporting v8 and so if you feel we've forgotten about an issue then please...

Re: Decision ignores calculation text length

I think the calculation works like the other icons.

The "display name" text of any icon will not affect the decision branch position and it will overlap the branch as shown in your image. But the calculation text will affect the branch position, as with other icons.

Re: program using PIC18F87J50 not opening after activating

Reinstalling Windows is a drastic move and hopefully you can avoid that. The problem is with just this project file, so the installation of Flowcode should be fine and perhaps you are missing some components. Try loading Flowcode, updating the full database of library files, then restart Flowcode an...

Re: program using PIC18F87J50 not opening after activating

I've tested the project file here and there seems to be no problem opening in, so I assume it's something on your PC that is causing the problem. It's probably one of two things: 1) Some other program (antivirus, etc) is preventing Flowcode from running. You could try running Windows in safe mode an...

Re: convert two Int to one Float

It sounds like the FLOAT is being represented by 4 bytes. An INT is 2 bytes and so reading the 2 INTs gives you the 4 bytes representing the FLOAT. Once you have these 4 bytes, you need to know how they represent the FLOAT. For example, see here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-precision_floati...

Re: Installing Flowcode Ver 8 on a new Laptop.

The install for the v2 of the PIC8 toolchain was implemented to work for v9 of Flowcode. For v8, you should use the v1 of the toolchain. The download for this is available in the Flowcode v8 section of your account page ( https://www.flowcode.co.uk/accounts/ ) If you are comfortable with manipulatin...

how the number increase from 1 into 2 when i push momentary push button second time?
Don't think about the state of the push button. Instead, think about the change in state.

i.e. don't react when the button is down, react when the button changes from down to up.

Re: "Device is not selected"

Compiler information is not stored in the Flowcode project file, so I can't see how opening an older project file would have caused this problem. To fix, I think you should reinstall the PIC (8-bit) toolchain. These are no longer on our matristsl.com site, but I think you can access in from your acc...

Re: "Device is not selected"

It appears you have changed your compiler settings and are 'pointing' at ipecmd.exe as the compiler rather than XC8. Try selecting a different option in the "compiler settings" window.

Re: Clock setting

Hi Martin,

Thanks for identifying this glitch. I've checked Flowcode v9 and this problem doesn't happen there. I've also identified what's happening in the code for v8, but I'm not going to fix it as it's a minor issue that doesn't cause any other problems.

With so many on/off sensors, I'd suggest having multiple "slave" chips each directly connected to 8 or 16 sensors. Then connect these slaves to a single "master" chip via a serial bus.
