Many, many thanks. This is a huge help indeed as to modify the 2014 component would be a lot of work, as you without doubt know.

Really appreciate the help you both provided and will keep you updated.

Hi

I have Norton installed and a day or so ago during a routine scan it decided that mLoader was a threat and quarantined it. From what I can gather this was based on low community usage. Easy to restore and add to whitelist.

Hi Benj Modifying those files you posted back in 2014 is a beast of a job, as I'm sure you realise. The difference between then and now is immense. So many things to change to try and make it compatible with latest ESP Firmware. Would it be possible to post the latest ESP Component so that I can mod...

Hi Benj I still couldn't get the ESP Client Example to work using the original ESP. Although I could monitor what the uC was sending to the ESP I couldn't see what it was sending to a server (if anything). I moved everything over to the upgraded module and after modifying the Flowcode component to l...

Hi Benj Moving the "old" component out of the directory worked fine. I can now see the "new" one looking for the "CONNECT" response when I check the "C code". Many thanks. Whilst I was doing all this I checked the responses to ConnectToSSID as well as ClientConnect. With the ESP running latest firmw...

Hi Benj

Thanks for that. I will try it later and let you know how I get on.

Regards

In another ESP related post, Benj posted the code for the component. I opened this and in the ClientConnect macro, I changed the CheckForData macro to look for a response of "CONNECT" rather than "Linked". I then saved the file and Exported it as a Component. I renamed the existing component (old_WL...

Hi It appears that the component Macro ClientConnect is looking for a response of "linked", as a line in the generated "C" is FCL_DONE = FCD_08181_WLAN_ESP8266__CheckForData("Linked", 7); As the ESP is returning "Connect" that is very probably why I am experiencing difficulties in using the componen...

I think there is an issue with the macro components. I monitored activity on the uC Tx and Rx pins whilst running the TCP Client Example. Direct connections on the actual pins, not on a breakout box or anything to ensure that I saw exactly what the chip saw. I saw the commands being sent to connect ...

Benj Do all the Flowcode component macros work with the latest ESP Firmware (AT = 1.0.0.0 / SDK = 1.5.3)? I didn't upgrade all modules to latest, so I still had the "original" ESP mentioned initially. With the initial module (which might be running the latest, jury out on that one), I can see it con...

Hi Benj I upgraded one of the ESPs to the latest version and AT+GMR returned:- AT = 1.0.0.0 SDK = 1.5.3 Running the Flowcode Firmware Test returned 00170901. Running TCPclient didn't work. After connecting to my AP it would display "Connecting" then nothing for perhaps three minutes, screen cleared ...

Hi I connected up a serial interface and using a Terminal interrogated each ESP with AT+GMR. ESP 1 AT 0.40.0.0 SDK 1.3.0 Build 1.3.0.2 ESP 2 and 3 AT 0.25.0.0 SDK 1.1.1 ESP 4 (which I was using) only returned a value of 00170901 ESP 5 garbage I think it clear that ESPs 4 and 5 require an upgrade but...

Hi Benj I think it best if I try and put the latest firmware from Espresif on one of these modules and try things again. Too many strange things happening. Guess I was overly optimistic in hoping that I could talk to the modules "out of the box". Do you have a recommended firmware version or at leas...

Hi I created an initialisation Flowchart and then sent a GetFirmware command to a number of ESP8266s. I have five of them. One replied with 00170901 (the one I was using) One replied with some garbage about a BTHub suggesting that that particular little gem has been in use before somewhere (I have T...

Hi I'm very interested in playing with the ESP8266 modules but despite seeing pictures and reading of an ESP Eblock, there doesn't seem to be a board to buy on the Matrix website. Never mind, I constructed my own and set about learning how to use one within Flowcode V6 and downloaded all the example...

Hi Thanks for your reply. I'm running Norton with latest signatures and when the problem first arose I disabled AV completely but it made no difference. I also whitelisted FC folder for good measure (but...... can't remember if I did this before or after the reboots that follow below). Hunting aroun...

Hi New machine running w8.1 and installed FCv6.1.2. First issue was getting the machine to recognise the EB006 v8 board. Problem due to missing "hash" file and a quick search of the forum suggested disabling automatic software verification which then allowed me to manually confirm installation of dr...

Hi There is definately something wrong with my account / license. Yesterday I reactivated online, but still got the same results under View > Licenses as medelec35 did. I Logged into my Matrix account and tried manual activation, downloading the supplied license key and file. This was a disaster as ...

Hi I bought Flowcode 6 plus Pic Chip and Professional bundle online, direct from the Matrix website. If I check on "my accounts" it informs me that is what I indeed bought. Good so far....... however now I've checked my original mail from Matrix of last December, it says I bought an Academic Pro lic...

Hi

I've just tried reactivating my copy online but it made no difference. I still see what medelec35 sees in his "View Licenses" image. Glad I'm not alone ..

Hi As I understand it, having a Flowcode Pro license allows me to use Flowcode for commercial purposes i.e. I am free to create with Flowcode, compile it to a chip and then sell that chip on. Within Flowcode if I go to Help > About Flowcode it tells me that I do indeed have a Professional Version. H...

Hi I've solved my problem regarding the Internet board not being initialised. As Benj had confirmed my config it really had to be my board, despite it working with the other chips. My connector has a 9-pin din at one end and a 8-pin SIL at the other. Only the three lines are connected. Using jumpers...

Hi Continuity is fine. Circuit is not disturbed other than to insert chip and as it works with other chips in.... +5v is derived via 7805 which has hefty tank and smoothing on input, and I have decoupling as close to the chip as possible. As it is on the underside I'm not quite sure of it's value bu...

Hi If it were configs, why would it run at all on the EB06 and not my circuit board? I apreciate that you have no way of knowing what I have but as mentioned it really is bare bones. All ports direct to connectors with only a crystal (20MHz) and a reset. Attached is a simple program to toggle a few ...

Hi Thanks for the replies. I'll check the wiki but the HTML coding isn't too high an issue as I'm sure whatever changed between V5 and V6 can be resolved quite easily. Funny though that the HTML code in the Web Server component runs fine when compiled etc using V5 but not V6. Another issue with this...
