SS bit not able to use on PIC18F86J60-i/pt in flow code

[karthik.devaraj]

Hi all,

I cant able to use the SS pin ( RF7 ) in PIC18F86J60 when using flow code. I referred data sheet about it and that was only for slave set bit. Kindly help me in order to use that IO pin where I'm in short of Io pins for my project.

Thanks in advance !

You can try this. Open the file 18F86J60.fcd located in C:\Program Files\Flowcode\v5\FCD with a text editor. Just below [PortMasks] is PortMask5=0x7E. Change it to PortMask5=0xFE. Save the change, close it and restart Flowcode.

Thabks kenrix And it's working. Same I'm struggling with the pin "RJ4" that I cannot use. Help me out pls.

Change PortMask9=0x20 to PortMask9=0x30. If you convert the hex to binary you can see what is going on. 0x20 = 0b100000, just bit 5 is set.
0x30 = 0b110000, bits 5 and 4 are set.

Hello,

Which version of Flowcode are you using? Maybe you could post up your edited FCD and I will have a look.
