Just keep in mind to not exceed the length of the string - 1 with the index (number between the brackets) and to add str[last index + 1] = 0 if you are not using the entire string length as declared in Flowcode to avoid surprises.

The dot is used for local (in contrast to global) variables.

The percentage sign is modulus and is used to calculate the remainder after division. So 105 % 20 = 5.

You can ignore the warning, that will be issued in working setups as well.
The 1 wire component is extremely timing critical. Make sure to get oscillator set to highest possible speed and Flowcode set to the correct click so it can calculate the delays correctly.

Writing a bootloader is not too complex, however most of the time a bootloader needs to be as small as possible, making Flowcode a less than optimal choice. (I’ve written a couple and am about to start on a new one which will probably be plain C code) Also, you don’t specify what programming languag...

As a work-around you should be able to enter the required value for _FOSCEL manually in the value column.

Guys, no need to feel offended. I’m just asking to keep the other forum members up to date with developments so we can learn as well. I understand the frustration of not getting things to work very well, I’ve been there many times, even a couple of times last week while working on a project at work....

It helps others if the dialogue is in the forum. If the code is sensitive then please provide some information on how things should be done so others can learn as well.

Looking at the documentation you are sending the right sequence.

What voltage is the Arduino you are using? If 5V you might need to add pull-ups to RX and another signal (according to the manual see page 6 at the bottom)

After using Altium Designer, Eagle and Design Spark PCB in the past, last year I started using Kicad for a commercial project. I had looked at it a long time ago and decided to stick to what I was using at the time but this time I was pleasantly surprised with its capabilities and decided to keep us...

Have you checked if those chips are supported already? (They might be part of an eblock)

The BL0106 itself is passive. Any components would need to be created for the click inserted into it. Which click do you want to use?

To get updates: open your Flowcode project, now go to the 'Help' menu and choose 'Check for Updates'.

Why are you asking the same question here you asked in the FC5 forum where you state that you’re using FC5 and do not want to upgrade?

I2C graphic display require ram to store screen contents. When displaying new information you are adding pixels to whatever is on screen. The controller needs to know what is already on screen to add the pixels. The amount of ram required depends on the number of pixels on the display.

C code is not simulated in flowcode 5, so if you are looking at simulation only (which your screenshot suggests because there is no output) you are right.
You should upgrade to flowcode 8 which includes simulation of C code (and is supported, which flowcode 5 is no longer)

How about using the C code to flowcode conversion option available in FC8?

You need to run the file. Msi files are installation packages.

First of all, please use English on the forum. First question I have is what you are trying to achieve. The functions to get the number integers (or floats) is simulation only so will not work on the real hardware. Is that what you want? Why do you use FloatToString to go from an integer to a string...

LEDs with SPI? Nice. Got a link for them?

I don't see any chip select being asserted in your program. Normally for SPI I would expect something (Output Icon) that drives an output pin to set the chip select (SS) line of the receiving SPI device to the required level. (Usually to 0).

Rule of thumb: use hardware if possible. Less overhead and less chance of timing issues.

If you want to use this for Flowcode variables you will need some magic to include the right modifiers when it’s generating code. Ben will probably know what magic to apply as well as the right directive to use.

Forcing the PIC compiler to use specific memory locations should be doable, however this will have a huge impact on the optimizations the compiler does to fit variables and arrays into the available RAM. PIC RAM is not exactly the easiest to work with due to the way memory banks are designed and by ...

Variables are stored in RAM. Starting any external program would very likely wipe the contents of that RAM or at least initialize part of it. Also, how do you want to run two programs one one controller? There might be ways to force FC to use a specific RAM location to store a variable, however what...

Flowcode 7 is no longer available for sale. Flowcode 8 is the new product that is being sold. If you buy a license it will be valid 'for life'. However support will stop when Flowcode 10 is released.

I'm not suggesting using a fingerprint sensor at -5C is impossible. However it would not be a pleasant experience to have to press your finger to a freezing object.
