Hi, Recently I had a bad PC failure and hard dish crash. All my files and programs are lost. I purchased a new PC (with window 7 32/64 bits OS). I need advise how to reload my FCv4 pro in my new PC. What sort of step I have to do to re activated my FCv4 pro again, your kind advise & help is very muc...

Hi, Steve, Sorry to trouble you again, you did mentioned about the "help..register" menu in your mail. By the way where can I find the"help..register" menu? Is it in the FC CD supplied or on the matrix web site? I can't locate this menu at the supplied CD. Please kindly indicate where to look for th...

HI, Sorry I have to make use of this forum as I do not know where to call for help. Recently I had received upgrade version to Pro FC CD. When I run the CD in my PC, it does not ask for the activation licence code, instead it asks to select for modify, repair or remove. When I select modify, it just...

Currently I am possing the FC4 student ver, and wish to upgrade it to the Pro. or single user version. What is the upgrade cost and what product code I shall be used for ordering? In the ...

Hi Benj & Daniel, I manage to compile the fcf file if I cut & paste into a new file. The problem of unable to store the EEPROM date once downloaded to the PIC. I attached herewith the screen print of a sucessful download that I had noticed a WARNING EEPROM(0)statement stating" this licence is not ge...

Hi Benj, Please find attached" programmer compile error message". It seems that both of you are able to store the data into the EEPROM, I wander what is going wrong at my end. Is it possible the programmer itself has problom? I am using windows XP with service pack 3 , my PC is having a Intel dua co...

Hi, ncc1502
Can you kindly tell me where to set the eeprom code protect fuse? In the Expert configure screen I had put a "off" in the "Data EE Read protect" col. during the PIC config. Is this the correct place to set the eeprom code protect fuse?
TQ

Hi Daniel, Thanks very much of your response. I did tried with your attachment download to PIC16F877A & 16F870 (I do not have PIC16F887), the programmer compiles with "floating point not loaded" error message and program fail. I had tried so many time but the error message persisted. I do not know w...

Hi Benj
I attached below an simple EEPROM test example FC that demonstrate it works fine with FC simuluation but not in the PIC itself. I do not purchase the Flowkit yet, so I am not able to check the problem. Can the flowkit works with E-006-6 version board?

Hi Benj, Yes, my program does carry out read & write to the EEPROM. I had tried with other chip like 16F88, 16F870 & 16F877A. I had downloaded the matrix web page program --"EEPROM experiment with 16F88" that has the same outcome. ie. can't readout the EEPROM contents. Your help is very much appreci...

My FC program is not fully completed yet, once I get it refine and complete I will post it. Meantime you can try to make use of the FC example program "EEPROM example for 16F88" that posted in the Matrix web that I had tried . This example program exhibits the same problem that I had encounter, it s...

Hi, I need some expert advise here to help me solve the above problem. Recently I had done some FC programming invole making use of the EEPROM write & read instruction. I encountered with the problem not be able to read out stored data from the EEPROM that had written with some data before. The FC p...

Hi Benj & DavidA,
Thanks a lot for your help and responds. I manage to find the problem and now the programmer is working fine. The problem is not the program, it is the delay loop in the program that caused the problem.
TQ

Hi DavidA, I did configured the chip at Flowcode4 with either "xt" or"HS" and select chip PIC16F877A. the results are the same. One more question, if I download the hex file from Flowcode4 via the "compile to chip" button, there is no error reported. Whe I download the hex file from the PPPV3 --> op...

Hi, I brought the above programmer last year and now I am starting to make use of it the first time. I had played around Flowcode V4 for two years this is the first time I am using the programmer. I set up the programmer by using external power supply and set J29 to "PSU", J12-J14 to "USB" J11,J16 &...

Hi,
I had recently discontinue my present email address and migrate to a new hotmail based email address. Do I need to inform Matrix to amend my email address in my member login process or I can still make use of the old address?

Hi, All I had received the Flowcode 4.0 CD sometime ago and had a few bugs that need update. Can anybody let me know where is the right site to down load the flowcode 4.1 version or latest. Do I have to delect the original version 4.0 for the new download? Do I have to re-register online when I run ...
