Hello How can I generate a DTMF signal with flowcode. I would like to generate the following signals The lower group has 4 frequencies; 697 , 770 , 852 and 941 Hz The higher group has 4 frequenties; 1.209, 1.336, 1.477 and 1.633 Hz These DTMF tones are similar as from a keypad from a telephone. I di...

Hello, Too bad, no response on my question, maybe later. I did found another way to solve the problem, but it costs more program memory Place two LCD macro's (select 2 X 40) on the panel, place them under each other. Select for LCD0 and LCD1 the same pin outputs data1 = B0 data2 = B1 data3 = B2 data...

Hello I have a 40 X 4 character LCD screen, for now I only can use line 0 or 1 on the screen with the macro LCD 40 X 2. Is it possible to redirect the E bit (lets say bit5) to (lets say bit6) in the software. In this way I can use the lines 0 to 3 and then can write something to all the lines on the...

Hello, Some questions and suggestions  How much extra program memory is required in the PIC when I want to use Flow-kit (HP-299- 30-1)?.  Before I can use the flow-kit I first must enable the ICD option in flowcode and compile the program before I can apply. Is this correct?.  When I stop the ICD...

When I use the ECIO microchip and I also want to use the USB port for the communication, do I still have to use the USB232 board EB-039.

Is it possible to make the command for the LCD visual in the simulation mode. I think at a blinking cursor, because I have more than one question on that LCD screen. In the simulation mode I can’t see where I am.

I like to buy the HP299-71 debugger but I have a question about this.
Can I also read the registers in the PIC processor like a status register and others.

The error below I get, after closing a project, without leaving the flowcode program, and than load an program in flowcode. See picture After many times clicking on the Ok button the program that I like to load comes on the screen, but with an empty panel. To be sure I close flowcode completely and ...

In flowcode you can look what the value of a variable is, at this moment it is possible to select and remove them one by one. Is it possible to add a button “remove all” or remove a selected list of variables all at once.

With the most software it is possible to search where variables used in the program by clicking on the F3 key. It would be nice when this also would be possible in flowcode. For example I select a variable in the variable list and then click a “search” button or F3 key. I already would be glad when ...

In spite of the new version of flowcode V4.3 that is much better then versionV4.2, I still get sometimes errors as below. The problem is that they occur often when starting a simulation. In that case flowcode leaves the program and does not store anything. My suggestion is to build in flowcode V4.3 ...

If in an existing macro in which already parameters are being used, new parameters are inserted, then an error (see fig.1) can occur when the inserted parameters are not adjusted at the macro properties. If then by accident is chosen for “continue” the next (see fig.2) appears. At this point the pro...

Hi benj Thanks, my fault. Stupid, I thought that I did check everything, my girlfriend did ask me before I sent it to the forum, “did you check everything”. That is also the reason why I would like to have it into the macro component. My idea was, only to switch off the common lines from the Led-7se...

Benj, thanks for your solution with the led7segment. Question 1 This clears one of my problems, but it does not solve the problem that I have to use separate output ports. These ports I have to check now every time when I use the macro in other programs. Again, how can I change this in the component...

Thanks for your response. Do you have a little sample of these, because I don’t understand it for now. Ok, let’s say I did understand it, how could I switch off the display for example for energy save. A second thing, why is it possible to switch off the single led7seg in that macro and not in the l...

Hi I have the next little problem with the LED7SEG4(0) component. That is as follows. The last digit lights brighter than the other digits, this depends on the timing. To fix this problem I now use an output (port) to switch off the common from the led7segments(0), See Leddisplaytiming. That works. ...

Hi,

I have a problem with Macro’s
One of them called “Local”, is with local variable into the macro.
The other one called “Public”, is without local variable.

The problem is that I can’t use the “Local Macro” in an interrupt macro.
What is the reason for this.

Idea Is it possible to make one ISCD and ICD (programmer/debugger) that can be used for private developments and the EB block programmers that are available now. In this option I am very interested, I think I am not the only one. When I read it right you already have developed this software for the ...

Hi Benj,

Thanks for your response.

Because I can’t find good information how to use the VREF+ with Flowcode V4, I do it this way: I am looking for more information about the VREF+ or a good sample, also for the VREF-spanning? I want to use the Lm35 as a temperature sensor. When I understand it right, the temperature should range fr...
