Temporary fixes for V4.5 PICmicro release

There are a number of small fixes to the recent V4.5 release that we will make available here. If you are experiencing these issues, you can download and use these new files in your copy of Flowcode.
The "C" code files should be placed in the "Components" subfolder of you Flowcode installation.
1) 18Fxxk22 devices: ADC component wrongly converts port pins to analog after sample. (datestamp 01/08/11)
Edit: Above files have been updated to solve a second problem related to defines.
2) EEPROM compilation problem (redefinition of symbol) (datestamp 28/07/11)
3) gLCD simulation problem (coordinates do not work properly) (datestamp 29/07/11)
4) The WLAN component is installed but hidden. Download, unzip and run this batch file (
reg_wlan.bat).(datestamp 04/08/11)
If Win 7 or Win Vista, you will need to run the batch file with administrator privileges (Right Click on the batch file and select "Run as Administrator")

Hi,
In following the forums, I have noticed that a number of bug fixes have been made since this last update, particularly in relation to the .c files.
Is it possible to provide an updated consolidated list please. It will save a lot of trolling thru the forums to get all of the relevant updates, particularly when you have built code that doesn't quite work as it should.
Many thanks
Best regards
Pete

error: unknown identifier 'VCFG0' if using VREF+ for Vref option
Devices affected
18F23K22, 18F24K22, 18F25K22, 18F26K22, 18F43K22, 18F44K22, 18F45K22, 18F46K22,
18LF23K22, 18LF24K22, 18LF25K22, 18LF26K22, 18LF43K22, 18LF44K22, 18LF45K22, 18LF46K22,
Fix is:
If 64bit windows go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\Components
or
If 32bit windows go to C:\Program Files\Flowcode V4\Components
Make a copy of PIC_ADC_29.c
then replace original with attached file
Hopefully flowchart will compile successfully.

Corrected Timer1 errors:
unknown identifier 'TMR1CS'
error: invalid operand 'TMR1CS'
error: failed to generate expression
error: invalid operand '~(1 << (TMR1CS))'
error: failed to generate expression
Also altered definition file to allow timer2 to be selected.
Fix is:
make a copy of 16F723.fcd
which is located in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\FCD
If 64 bit windows
or
C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\FCD
if 32 bit windows
Replace original with attached file.
You will need to either restart Flowcode or selected a different target device,then reselect 16F723 for fix to work.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the updated definition file. Sorry it has taken a while to fully test the solution. Unfortunately the day-job got in the way rather!
The update did the trick and the file compiled correctly. Unfortunately, it now fails to program

I don't think PPP can reprogram the 16F72x range of devices. You may need to use an alternative programmer.

16F1847.
Memory size wrongly reported as 4096 words, should be 8192 words.
This would mean any Flowchart with memory size greater than 4096 will fail to compile.
Fix is:
make a copy of ppp_config_data2.cfg
which is located in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\Tools\PPP\
If 64 bit windows
or
C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\Tools\PPP\
if 32 bit windows
Replace original with attached file.
You may need to select a different target device, then re-select 16F1847 for fix to work correctly.
