Has anybody done the same work for the LCD on an SPI port expander?

I use Easypic5 from MikroElectronica

I have added at programmer location: C:\Program Files\Mikroelektronika\PICFLASH-mikroICD\PICFLASH.exe
with Parameter: -f"%f.hex"

I use the older picflash, i think it should probably work also with the newer Mikroprog suite.

Hope this helps.

Dan81, I am not a C programmer and i do not understand the code of components, so how to change that is even more a mistery to me. After i import your 232 component, what do i have to do to send/receive in odd or even parity? I have looked at your sample files but at the extende properties of the RS...

Just a thougt.

You do not set the fuse that code protect the eeprom from writing/reading when programming?

Thanks Steve

When you put your mouse pointer over a decision, a balloon pops up. In Dutch translation (perhaps also in other languages) the text in the balloon is: "AlsVariable = .......", while it should be "Als Variable = ........" (In english IfVariable =). In FC3 it is the same. Perhaps in some update this m...

In the veriable window the value of a variable is displayed in decimal and hexadecimal. Is it possible to show the value in binari as well? If you input or output a value from/to a port you can see immediately at the binary value of the variable in the watch what inputs/outputs are active high or low.

In simulation it would be verry handy to have an overview of the state of inputs and outputs. I think of a picture of the processor with all ports on it and lights on if a input or output is active high and lights off when input or output is active low. It would be something like a logic analiser in...

I was struggling with the same issue.

If a program gets bigger it is sometimes hard to find a variable, a search function would be verry welcome.

When i choose delete all breapoints from the Edit menu not all breakpoints are deleted.

It seems as if breakpoints which are attached to a loop do not delete, while all other breakpoints are gone.

Perhaps a bit ofline, but when i read articles i often see some strange signs (I marked tham Fat): ......... from the same port! The ‘Enable’ has been .................................. another Port in the ‘C’ code. Do i need to adjust something in my browser (IE7) to get this right, or did ...

Thanks for your reply Steve. What i am concernd longint is needed, unsigned integer is sometimes handy, but not nececary (if needed a longint will do the job). A bool would be nice, will it cut memory usage or is it the same as byte? With bool type variable, will things like: if name then..... be po...

Unsigned integer and longint would be verry welcome. I can't imagine that the c-compiler the code is transformed to does not have these type of variables.

MM guys, any coment on this message would be appreciated.

It might be an open door, but........ My experience is that when you simulate a program, almost all variables have (automaticly) 0 as a value at the start of the program. When running this program on a microcontroller, this is for sure not the case and unprodicted things (or nothing) will happen. Th...

New update solves everything.

Box dissapeares at first click, thanks guys.

I need parity on a project (only sending). simple Pics don't have parity, but there is a possibility to choose 9 databits, so the 9th bit could be the (self calculated) parity. The 9 bit option is greyed out, how do i set this up? How do i send the 9th bit to the uart register (txsta.tx9d)? I assume...

I use 4.2.3.58, but it does not dissapear always, can be annoying.

Dear MM team, When i click the stop button, i know that the simulation stops, i do not need a messagebox. It irratates me verry much that it has to be closed by a click. Please make a setting to get rid of this box. If there is a reason why you must show this box, let it dissapear within 3 seconds o...

Is it possible for matrix to create a model for simulating a Port Extender, so inputs and outputs can be connected to the Port Extender in simulation.

Is it possible to connect LCD display to Port Extender, i could not find a item on that.

I did get my V3 pro version only this year, are there any options to upgrade for free?

Is there a way to connect a LCD to lines of 2 different ports?

For instance port A for the data lines and port E for the controll lines?

I am new to flowcode (have V3)

I need the same function (sending and receiving characters),

Is there a sample for this routine for download?

Best regards
