Re: LCD display showing Japanese Characters

Hi Ben

Thanks, I will try the fix on V5.

I do have a licence for FC8, but using FC8 has the same problem (with all the patches and all updates).

If I add the delay in the folders you suggested, would this prevent the stander LCD's from working correctly when compiled?

Thanks

LCD display showing Japanese Characters

Hello All I have been using the WH0802A-YYH-JT display for a long while now without any issues (datasheet attached). But I have recently redesigned the PCB to make simpler use of the backlight. So in order to do this, I changed the display to the RC0802A1-LLR-JWVE (again attached), however, the char...

Hello Everyone I did a program a while back in FC6, I then did an update to the program where I needed to add Modbus Slave back in November last year. Back then it seemed to work fine, but now I am having issues... And its defenitly based on FC8 and its updates... So, I have attacehd the FC6 Program...

Re: Bluetooth, android App & Bootloader

Hi Kersing I guess doing the bootloader in C would be OK as we could embed the code into a flowcode program (or compile to C and embed into the bootloader). I am not too familiar with bootloaders so let me know if I am wrong. There is no specification for the Android app language. Preferably written...

I have not had many takers on this, do you think its too much? Should I break the requirement down into smaller tasks?

Another question... if the 3 pairs of advanced PWM were used for the 3 half bridges would there still be 4 normal PWM's for other outputs?..

Re: PWM - 180 degrees out of phase

With this... Is there not a better way of doing this rather than using a timer interupt? If we can somehow use and interupt on change, but rather than a change on a pin use the ccpril variable? Would this not make a much more responsive inverse PWM with a smaller phase shift? pProblem bieng is that ...

Re: LCD's on FC8

Hi Martin

Thanks for the reply. I have updted to V8.1.1.11, and this is what I currently see.

If I do a search for Config I get the generic LCD, but not the same as yours.

PS - Is there a way I can get notifications of any Patches? This is now the second time I have missed one.

Thanks

Has anyone done any comparason testing between hardware and sofware serial protocols?

I am doing a layout for a prototype PCB and need to make a decision on which pins to use with SPI.

I am using a dsPIC30F3011 wit ha fast clock speed of 117964800.
