To clear the first bit of your byte you can do this like this : "byte = byte & ~(1 << 0)" ( (1 << 0) = 0000 0001b => ~0000 00001b = 1111 1110b) If "byte" is set to 1111 1111b, then the result would be 1111 1110b Changing the value '0', from this piece of code ~(1 << 0), to 1 ...

Hello Jordy, It looks to me like your display is not being initialised so I would try the following: Have you tried removing the jumper from the LCD E-block. The fact that you have two displays connected to the same output may have something to do with the problem. Removing the jumper should essenti...

Hi Jordy What are LUT value 10Bit H and L. All Values of 10H when 10bit ADC>309 = 1 10Bit L = temperature x 10 - (10 bit H x256) e.g if temperature = 39.8 deg C then 10 bit low = 398 - (1 * 256) = 142 Why do I have to make 2 lookup tables. Why is it not possible to make one table with 100-400 import...

Hi, Martin I have made some changes to your flow code so I can Use it with my own program. And it works :) Thanks again. That's great! Glad you got it working OK. Your program looks very good! I used that flowchart because that's the one you originally posted, so at least I know the config settings...

Hello Jordy, Ah I think I see the problem. A normal 5V PIC can read a voltage of 3.3V on a input pin as a logic 1. However the UART is less tolerant and so will probably not be detecting the logic 1 on the input. I have come across this problem before. I think you have three options. 1) Run the GPS ...

Hi Jordy,

This should help and I've checked that it simulates on a standard gLCD so you can test things out before moving it over to your display.

Ok I have managed to fix the problem. It seems to be caused by the SPI running too fast and therefore the RF modules sometimes don't sync up quite right. To fix the problem you must use the custom code on the RF component in both of your programs. The function you need to edit is the [defines] funct...

You're welcome Jordy, and glad to be of assistance.

Just clicking the 'thanks' icon is usually reward enough


Good luck with your project,

Brendan

Hello,

As there are a couple of you waiting to test this here is the updated component. Simply drop into "Flowcode v6 Beta/Components" directory and restart Flowcode.

Edit - Attachment removed - update patchset 2 contains this fix.

An Injector component is a component that works with a communications component (e.g. RS232, SPI, I2C) and adds a simulation only method to parse the incoming data to provide meaningful outgoing data. An example of this is the GPS Injector which uses it's properties to generate a recurring stream of...

Hello, For anyone who wants to step in the world of component creation with v6, here is a quick how-to video I put together which should walk you through some of the basics. Full descriptions and explanations should be provided in the v6 help wiki for any details I missed. I can do other videos deta...

Hello,

Patch set #4 can now be downloaded here:-

http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/temp/FC ... hSet_4.exe

Note: Patch sets are cumulative - You only need to install the latest version of the patch to bring your files up to date.

… and just to add, if you did not know already, you can run the web server in simulation, just enter http://127.0.0.1:5000 in your local browser

Hi Jordy, You need to clear the area to the right of the bar yourself. Set the foreground color equal to the background color and draw the pixels between the bar and the end tick in this color (.BarInFill_Width to .Width-1). This will effectively erase the remainder of the old bar. (Do not forget to...

Hi Jordy. In this version the Auto Day Of week calculation has been removed because this the algorithm used was to complex and eats up allot of program memory. especially for small uC this is a huge disadvantage. I don't know the details of your component, but if you create a property when it is dow...

Few updates over the holidays, the cube is now built and tested but not yet wired up to my controller circuit. Maybe a job for tonight. 20131224_120311.jpg 20131227_170327.jpg 20131231_161631.jpg As soon as I have the cube up and running I will publish blog 2 detailing the build and test stage.

Quick video of progress so far. I'll post the files for this tomorrow. I also messed up again with the FETs it seems :( getting strange results with them anyway so sticking with the TIP122 transistors for now though I have changed all the driver ICs over to the new chip now. Need to work on my FET a...

Carriage return (how to get one entry per line) is working for me now. I am logging a temperature reading to log.csv as a test. the temperature is a string value so it was looking like this before: example: Temperature_String = 24.234567 Calculation: Log_String = Temperature_String + "," (...

Hello, After months of work we are releasing a new release candidate of Flowcode v6 entitled 6.0.6. This update addresses a wide selection of bugs reported on the forums, as well as a concerted effort to clean up and tidy up the Flowcode 6 interface as requested by our users. This release should pav...

I designed a breakout board for the DS3231 on Friday night last week and got that ordered. I also ordered some other components from Mouser this week. I'll test the component as soon as I have all components. Jordy is receiving a complete board as thanks for his efforts. I'll be using the DS3231 RTC...

Hi Jordy

I've just made up my DS3231 Break Out Board.
After reading the data sheet, I realised the basic functions are the same as the DS1307, so I've just tried it with your (DS1307) component, and it works fine.

Hi Jordy, If I've understood your question correctly, you should be able to do what you need via the 'Interface Manager' in the component properties panel. Each macro which contains downloadable code is able to have a 'Simulation only' alternative, which will be substituted automatically whenever th...

I'm lagging behind but I did receive the circuit boards today. Not the best surface finish unfortunately but hey, it's only cosmetics
