Miac and FC6

Post by markkkk »

I have just got a Miac and want to do a project with linear actuators. I downloaded FC6 but it doesnt seem to be able to do anything with it. What version of Flowcode is the best to use for the latest Miac and can someone post a link for it please

regards

Mark

Ok have been playing a bit more with it and I can import the older flowcode examples but most have some sort of warning but when simulating them it stops usually at a initialize command for the Miac. Is it just tha the older flowcode file can not be bought across?

Could you attach the program that you are having problems with?
Thanks

I have been using some of the example files I have found but they are older FC format and when loaded into FC6 and you go to run them the program does not get past the initializing of the Miac. Attached is the Miac original file and when it gets imported into FC6 it gets saved as the .fcfx file

Hi

The problem is that the example is for a "MIAC System", that includes an Expansion Module.
Flowcode V6 does not support Expansion Modules and the "MIAC System".
Flowcode V6 does support the MIAC itself.
Please have a look at the MIAC component Wiki page ...
