Hi Guys, Bit melodrammatic but this seems like a final association with Flowcode and ALL my projects now, unless I can somehow get ONE issue resolved which suddenly appeared early in 2016! I spent most of last year 'struggling on' but as my projects have got more complicated, needing increasing twea...

Hi Steve and Dave,

Many thanks for your respective help and advice - much appreciated,

Cheers,

Chris

Hi all, Currently have Flowcode 4 plus HP-488 development board but as they are both out of date and un-supported I am thinking of possibly purchasing Flowcode 7 and an EB006 v9 board. a) Can I use them both on my 32 bit Vista Ultimate lap top? b) I really don't want the additional cost of another c...

Hi Martin, Yes, I looked at the post you mentioned and that is interesting because I currently use a PIC12F1840 and I have no problems with it at all from flowchart right through to programming the chip and runs the hardware perfectly and predictably! That is using both my HP488 development board AN...

Hi Martin, No I dont have a PICkit 3 - only a 2 and that doesn't 'do it'. It seems to me that the Flowcode re-work for that chip to iron out the bugs is just not recognised by earlier programming software and what concerns me is that I am informed by Matrix M that Flowcode 4.5 will PROBABLY work wit...

Hi Martin,

I have never moved it but I* gave it a 'wiggle' to make sure it was making good contact just yestrday in fact - but all the other chips programme ok!

Well spotted re the square bracket which was because when I DO select defaults, it comes up with a word ( I cant remember what it is and don't want to mess anything up at this stage to check) inside square brackets and way back a year or two, this problem came up and is fixed by replacing the square...

Sorry - they were bothe the ends but this one is the beginnings:-

....and these are the current Compiler options (two 'cos I can't get the 'whole' lines to show) :-

....and when I click 'Yes' it finishes like this:-

Hi Martin,

This is now how it looks and the dotted lines are still continuing so will send you this and click OK and send you the result (bearing in mind that I still have this problem of all my charts still taking 8 minutes instead of a few seconds)!

ok I giving that a whirl now....

Hi Martin,

This is with PPP

Hi Martin, Thankyou for coming back on this query - unfortunately had to dash off so couldn't answer straight away. I have the old HP488 programmer and have no trouble with any other chips but this one - as you have said in previous post - the PIC16F1823 has had some bugs with it but having tried a ...

Hi Martin, While you are 'there'..... I just wondered if you could give me a clue here - for the PIC16F1823 which simulates and compiles to hex but fails to compile to chip in the last few lines: Can you tell me or point to a link which shows me what needs changing in 'Compiler options/Programmer' f...

Hi Martin,
Thanks for that, that's one less thing to worry about if I go down the Windows 10 route!

Many thanks,

Chris

Hi all,
I use currently use Flowcode v4.5 on Vista - I am thinking of changing to Windows 10 so will I still be able to use Flowcode v4.5 for existing and new projects?

Hi Ben, Under Flowcode v4 /Tools, I have PPP, PICkit2 and 3, mLoader v3.4.0.0 (which I downloaded from Davids link but could you give me a link for v3.4.1.0 which you mentioned to be the latest?). What is the 'DoNothing exe' about? I presume I just leave them in place and compiling in Flowcode will ...

Hi Ben, Thanks for your reply. Still don't understand why it doesn't programme the chip WITH mLoader installed. David A. sent me e-mail with link to the latest mLoader software which I downloaded so I guess it IS 3.4.1.0. but I can't see anywhere which says what version it actually is. Is it not pos...

Hi all, This chip simulates perfectly and compiles to HEX successfully but will not compile to chip. It gets to within a few lines of the end and presents panel saying chip has not been erased, click on 'continue' or 'no'. Choosing 'continue' adds a couple of lines showing failure: <config2>. My HP4...

Hi Martin, Yes your post(s) do absolutely help a lot and it looks as though I am just about sorted. OK, thanks - I now understand the UART 8 and 9 bits things so a nice bit of knowledge there! I have addressed the various 'material' possibilities that you mention re the PIC micro not being erased an...

Hi Martin, Thankyou SO much for spending time sorting this pesky but useful chip out and it now does appear to compile without errors and download to chip OK and will put onto hardware during the morning. I just have a few queries perhaps you enlighten me on:- 1) Viewing C code I notice the referenc...

Sorry THIS is the attachment I meant to send (the previous post was the compiling but Interrupt info NOT not filled in).
