Hi Leigh,

Happy New Year!,

I have the RTC MCP794 and the Serial EEPROM on the same Channel and Pins for the SDA and SCL, I know the two can work together but somehow I can't seem to get them to work together even though they are in separate routines and not call simultaneously, do you have any ideas?

Regards,

Gavin

Hi Gavin,
You are right, the EEPROM does not work when RTC is used, I'm looking into it.
btw. What version of Flowcode do you use? V8?

Hi Gavin,
Please drop this fixed component into your directory,
\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\Components
(auto update not currently functional)
Thanks
Leigh

Hi Leigh,

I updated and replaced the file in:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode v8\DefaultData\FlowcodeV8\Components

I assume this is correct?

Regards,

Gavin

Hi Gavin,
No, that's the directory where Flowcode keeps the default installation files.
You need to drop the new component into
C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\Components

nb. C:\ProgramData is usually hidden by Windows

You might need to enable the viewing of hidden files and directories,
don't ask me how to do that, I hate Windows :lol:

To make life easier,
I have got a shortcut of the FlowcodeV8 hidden directory on my desktop.

To do that paste in windows explorer

Code: Select all

C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8
Then right click on FlwocdeV8 and select Copy address:

Finally, right click on your desktop and select Paste Shortcut.
Then its always handy for when you have to manually update component or fcdx file.
