Hi Ben I am running Win 10 X64 Pro with all (as far I'm aware) updates. Its so obscure I don't think its worth spending a lot of effort on, there are more important bugs. Might be worth a test if anyone else wants to see if they can replicate it. I'll try FC6 when I get a few minutes see if it does ...

Hi Ben Not sure if I should call this a bug or not, but its a strange occurrence. I've just tried programming a 16F1937 in one of my EB006 v9 boards. A program I know works fine. Flowcode shows the message Launching the compiler, the row of dots start across the screen and just keep going. I found t...

Weather Station (V2) Introduction. This is a follow-up to my original project, this time using 2 independent external sensors. It should be read in conjunction with the first part for a full in-depth description of the project. Including connections etc. Hardware Required. 3 x EB-006 Programmer Boa...

Hi Andrew

If you are already a licenced user of FC6 you can login here and download / purchase.

It looks like its still active, I believe FC6 will still be supported for a while.

Hi Monie

A few years ago I used one of these in FC4, so had to write the code myself.
Is this any help.

My latest project is a Weather Station with remote sensor and real time clock. Currently the system only has 1 remote sensor, but this can be expanded. This project is only compatible with Flowcode 7 as the nRF24L01 component is not included in earlier versions. Equipment Required. Remote Sensor(s) ...

Having proved the boards & the component all worked as expected, I tried to send more than 1 data value in a loop. My initial program did not work, so after a bit of thought, I came up with these small test programs which send 2 values in sequence and display them on line 0 and line 1 on the LCD. My...

I also have a pair of the cheap ones, I originally bought to use with the Arduino, but never got them to work. Just tried them with this program and they don't work with FC either. Just to double check I connected the new boards back and they still worked. Conclusion, the cheap ones are duds :( With...

Hi Jorgen You are welcome to the test programs. They are basically the same as Bens, except they are for a 16F1937 Ben's programs are further up the page. Pin Outs EB006 - RF Board C2 - CE C3 - SCK C4 - MISO C5 - MOSI C7 - CSN NRF24L01_RX_Example1_PIC.fcfx NRF24L01_TX_Example1_PIC.fcfx The boards we...

My new NRF2401 boards & aerials have arrived. Tested using Bens component and FC programs, Though tweaked to use a pair of EB006V9s and PIC16F1937's as I don't have a EB091. Pleased to report it works fine sat on the bench. Now to see what sort of distance it will connect over. Board.JPG Rubber Duck...

Hi Jorgen
I've not used these yet myself will be starting with Bens sample flowcharts and go from there.
Should be interesting project.

The boards should be here tomorrow. I've ordered a pair of Sparkfun BOB's with a SMA connector and built in voltage regulator so they can be run from the 5v supply and a pair of 2.4GHz rubber duck aerials to match. At least I will know they are going to work. (unlike a Chinese special that may have ...

Hi Ben

On your FC component properties you have Port D.1 connected to SCK and on the bottom line its called CLK Remap. Why the 2 different names?

Flowcode 7 can now handle 32bit PICs, so I decided to invest in a simple inexpensive development board and give it a try. The board is based on the Arduino Uno and will take some of the shields. Care must be taken as the board is a 3.3 V device but most lines are 5V tolerant. The digital and analogu...

Hi Docara If the device you need is not included in the free version then you will have to buy that chip pack. The free version only has a limited selection the most popular devices included. http://www.matrixtsl.com/resources/files/datasheets/flowcode7-datasheet.pdf This is a link to the FC7 data s...

I've just received a new toy today, a Mooshimeter mooshimeter.jpg https://moosh.im/ Its a very nice data logging multimeter that connects by Bluetooth to a smartphone or tablet (IOS or Android). It can measure current and voltage simultaneously too. Basic DC accuracy is 0.5% which for most things is...

That's great Steve The 6502 was the processer I learned to program on. (Sadly never did anything on Z80) Basic using the good old Apple II. Then Vic 20 and then onto the Beeb Machine code (no built in assembler) on the Emma Board http://forum.6502.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2388 Yes those are 4mm I/O s...

Hi Alan Going on previous releases (I've used from V3) each new version can open files from previous versions, but once opened they will save as the new version, so wont open as the old version again. i.e. open V5 file in V7 and once saved it will be a v7 file and wont open in V5 again. So Make a co...

Hi

All the MIAC info is here

Hi Bill

According at the manual (Page6) it looks like you use a uUSB phone charger for the buggy

Merry Christmas to all at Matrix and on the forums

Hi calimero88

The new drivers pointed to by medelec work fine with the EB006 on my systems too.

I Have got some issues with the AVR and 16bit ECIO but everything else is fine.

Hi
I think the process is automated so it should have come back in a few mins.
Have you checked your spam folder in case its gone in there?.

Otherwise, if you are outside the UK you may not know its a bank holiday on Monday, so Matrix will be closed till Tuesday.

Hi Ben I've just done a clean install of windows 10 x64-pro. Flowcode 6 pro and all 4 versions of Flowcode 5 installed and activate ok. (Flowcode 6.1.2.0) Hardware. Most of the new signed drivers installed ok. (Not tried the USB serial & slave yet) Just 2 problems 16Bit ECIO When trying to program g...

Hi Are you planning a Rpi case for the new style RPi Just put one together for my old type pi, very nice case, and very high quality (laser cutting I assume) hardest part about assembly is getting the protective film of the parts. Couple of personal observations 1) I would have preferred to have bee...
