Hello,

Have you tried the final solution listed here?
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/support ... f=15&t=416

If this also does not work for you then please can you let me know what OS you are running and exactly what error message you are receiving when you try and program the device.

Hello Benj.

Thanks for you reply, but it doesnt work with that solution.
We have contact with the board in both Flowcode and PPPv3. I think the problem is the connection between Flowcode and pppv3. Maybe in the compile options

This is the following error message we get:
"Return code = 1
Flowcode was unable to compile flowcharts c code of following errors:
If your flowchart contains c code, review it closely. If your flowchart doesnt contain c code and you have reviewed the code, contact Technical."

We had a demo version of flowcode 4 and it worked finde compiling to the print.

This is the path we have in the compile options:

Compiles:
Location: C:\Programmer\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V3\BoostC\boostc.pic16.flowcode.exe
parameters: -v -t PIC%p "%f.c"

Links/Assemble:
Location: C:\Programmer\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V3\BoostC\boostlink.pic.exe
Parameters: -ld "C:\Programmer\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V3\BoostC\lib" libc.pic16.lib flowcode.pic16.lib "%f.obj" -t PIC%p -d "%d" -p "%f"

Burner:
Location: C:\Programmer\Matrix Multimedia\Common\PPPv3\PPPv3.exe
Parameters: -cs 2 -nogui "%f.hex"
"Use burner to enable configuration options" is on
Location: C:\Programmer\Matrix Multimedia\Common\PPPv3\PPPv3.exe
Parameters: -cs 2 -chip PIC%p -config

File Viewer:
Location: C:\WINDOWS\notepad.exe
Parameters: "Blank"

The OS is Windows XP

Thanks

If I saw this, I would assume it can't compile flowchart which means there is problem with the flowchart it's self perhaps a C block without a semicolon ,or a component macro without a pin connected etc. A flowchart will not transfer to the target in the programmer until Return code = 0.
Have a read here:

If you are happy to share flowchart, then we can see what the issue is?
It would be helpful to also post C file and .msg text file.

Hello Zkov79,

Please post the complete list of messages that is generated during compilation so we can understand better what is going on. It will also be useful if you post the flowcode file (.FCF) and the C code file it generates too.
