Just looked at goldwingers mod. Yeh your'e right. I forgot about the options of the "loop until" icon. But I do use the loop for de-bouncing a switch input, so that the program does not continue until the switch is released (otherwise the switch operation is carried out X number of cycles). Output B...

Hang on Ben, I'll just have a look.

It's 3.2.1.38

I think there's a later update, is it 3.22?

Carl

Hang on, that doesn't work.
For some reason the Switch needs to be changed to a toggle switch, yes now it works!

Ben: Is this a "glitch"?

Here's a copy of the manual EEprom reset routine I described earlier. This programs all cells as 00h data. Ok you may not want all Zeros but in some cases it's better to have a predicatable value, for instance, one of my programs uses the EEprom to store stepper motor data for animated figres, in th...

I use flowcode in my designs for sound and lighting effects in theme parks, ghost rides etc. I have a range of MP3 based music and background effects players and sequencers which all use a Flowcode designed interface. The best use I had out of a single PIC16F88 was a for a 5 target shooting game whi...

Has anyone noticed this: When creating very big flowcharts spanning a couple of screens the individual icons get very hard to edit, especially toward the top right hand side. For instance when placing or moving an icon the "target" arrow (little yellow arrow) often dissapears off screen and releasin...

....and if you are watching a particular variable whiles running a step-by step simulation, tha damn thing will move about in the list - has anyone noticed this?

A useful tip to clear the EEprom cells first time they are used is to create a variable (eg: "count") with an incremental value for example: "count=count+1". Starting from address "0", Loop the counter to run up to 255, each time send a write command to the EEprom. Specify in the EEprom settings "co...

Unless this has been suggested before that is! I have created many Flowcode projects which work and wish to share some of these solutions with others who could, if they wish, improve or add to the basic program. For instance I wish to submit a trackball-operated camera PTZ control (Pan Tilt and Zoom...

A random number block is needed to generate a random number to a pre-defined variable based on n=max.

We are interested in some of the E-Blocks sensors for our atmospheric research. Why does the E-blocks "Sensor board" have an A-D converter when the analogue in of the PIC could be used instead?

I actually managed to get some characters sent from a PIC16F88 to HyperTerminal via RS232. I also got the LCD working, but not both at the same time, even when I use one of the big "16F77's and wire the LCD to another port. They also seem to want to operate at different clock speeds. Using the above...
