The Arduino UNO has no USB integrated into the controller but uses a uart port to drive a serial to USB chip on the board.
So you need to use a serial (uart) component, not the USB component.

It helps if you tell what part of the program doesn’t work.

Hi Ben,

I’m working on this already, my hardware should arrive tomorrow.

Is your display set to use scaling to increase readability? To 200% perhaps?

What kind of delay? What do you want to achieve?

Posting a screenshot doesn’t allow us to provide a lot of help, please attach your Flowchart.

You will need to take a close look at the data sheet for the compiler for your particular device to see if it is implemented. Last time I looked the 8 bit PIC devices didn't support 64 bit. However it seems some (all) now do if you use a fairly recent XC8 compiler. My (slightly older) FC8 install us...

Didn’t know we were obligated to help you out, but feel free to send me a kit and I’ll take a look at your issue...

I don’t have a computer with Flowcode handy for the next 48 hours so may-be you can try yourself and post the result here for me to take a look at after the weekend?

You could try to calculate a more frequency interrupt (like 5 a second) and use a counter in the interrupt handler to only execute the code you need to run at 1 hz when the counter reaches 5.

You only return a valid value if Test is set to 1. In other cases .Return is not set to a value in your Macro due to the decision at the end of the macro. For all other values of Test you are calling another macro from your macro. If you always want to set the return value you need to move the assig...

Something to take into account, you should always set the .Return to a value. In your macro you are only setting a value is Test equals 1, not if it is set to any other value. Nothing obvious looks wrong with the code, however during simulation I notice in "Zeit_Datum_Anzeigen_2" you loop 500 times ...

Can you attach your flowchart so we can check what you are doing? Calling the macro will not change what is already on the display, just newly items you display. Is that your expectation?

Not knowing this specific example, in general, what is the time between updates? If > 30 seconds the other party will be glad to have their resources back for another request so close the socket.

If I understand correctly you want to know why FC8 creates more efficient code? Normally people want to know the why when code becomes less efficient, not when it becomes more efficient...

I haven't used ghost for ages so I am not sure what is available. Hopefully someone with recent experience will chime in...

For icd and ghost you will need hardware that supports it. That can be a multi programmer with support or the separate Flowkit V2 board.

Check the data sheet for both devices to see if the commands used are the same and take the same arguments. For memory the larger devices requires additional address information in an additional byte in the command sequence.

Posting a flowchart would help. That allows us to see what is being used and build it ourselves to check where usage may be.

For Atmel controllers FC6 didn’t use BoostC as that is for 8 bit pic controllers only. FC8 does not use xc8 either.

Given the lack of information regarding the flowchart used I don’t think anyone can provide any useful feedback.

Please post your flowchart so we are able to see what you are doing. For all we (now) know your is is to show a couple of lines in which case the program works as expected

Can you post your flowchart so we can check what generates that statement?

Those are warning messages that can be ignored. Do you have real errors as well?

Please provide your flowchart if you want feedback, it is hard/impossible to read the screenshot and provide useful feedback.

Maybe there could be a option to add automatic cleanup the compiler files to be removed after .hex generation, so .fcfx file for Flowcode and .hex for programming targets are only left? Does any stand-alone programmer anymore use .elf files? Please don’t. I regularly use the other files. Automatic ...

Have you checked if the macro checkRX() requires any parameters?
