Hi Ben,
Any further news on the BoostC upgrade?

Hi All,

Should you need the services of a PCB design engineer with over 20 years experience then
please get in touch with me.
Rather than explain everything here why do you not have a look at our website at ...

Hi Ben
I have just looked up BoostC and the device is supported.
Is it just an upgrade issue for Boost C or other issues linked to flowcode.
Regards

How easy is it to add new devices to the flowcode list for new devices from Microchip.
I have a project that uses the PIC18F46K80 family of devices and need an new FCD file etc.

FTDIchip do a nice chip and even a cable. If you look at ftdichip.com for the TTL-232RL cable, you can connect this directly into your PIC but be aware, the TX line from the cable goes to RX on the PIC and vis-versa. You could also use the chip itself and design the circuit for USB with an RS232 opt...

Can anyone suggest how to use two RS232 hardware components on the PIC16F86J60 and associated devices.
These devices have two hardware EUARTs built in but the RS232 component will only allow one UART to be selected.

For reference. Notepad++ is a very good text editor with line numbers and it has other useful features too.
It is also free under the GNU licence. Have a look on sourceforge for it.

Ok Steve. Thank you. Can you help with the Macro Substitution issue tho? How is this used and where is it compiled. It does appear to be something used before the Boost C preprocessor as the '%' is not a C preprocessor directive. If you was to create an LCD that utilises the full command and datalin...

Thank you Sean for that.
Do you know if the Novatech driver is an Hitachi compatiable?
It has the same command and data lines.

I am a bit confused about these LCD's. Most of the posts appear to show the Flowcode component as one based on a HD44780 drivers chip, but the datasheet for this device says it is only able to display 8x2 or 16x1 characters at 5x8 format. This is held up by the datasheet showing 16 row and 40 column...

Thank you.
Did you get the contact for the files? Or are you Steve@.....etc?
I am running version 4.2. Is the SDK only for V3? Or is the document only for V3 but the SDK is a higher version?

Here is another note on the SDK. Whilst using the word document to work through building a component, the section on adding the template text and macros talked about adding the Flowcode component type library reference. But my Visual Basic 6 did not have the library installed. I did a proper install...

I am trying to design a new component using the SDK to create an LCD with further options than the one used within Flowcode. Currently there is a bitmap that is placed on the panel. There is an external properties form that allows you to change details about the display (16x2, 20x2, black, green etc...

I have just got the pickit3 to work within V4.2. If you check your installation and see if you have a pickit3 directory under tools in flowcode 4. If you have this directory with PK3CMD.exe then all you need is to change your chip compiler option s to the following: Programmer: Location: C:\Program ...

Thank you. Apart from the dual use of the RS232 tranmission interrupt, which I will have to address. Can you see any other major problems with my code. This is the first time of using your program, which appears to be a very useful tool. And I would like to use it a lot more on quick dev projects. I...

I am still having trouble simulating the RS232 input.
Can anyone help?

Is it possible to look at a new component or change to the original component for the LCd to allow 8bit modes as an enhancement please.

Thank you Steve, I will try that. I have just set up the intterupt to operate the RS232 recieve but I am now having trouble getting the simulation to register the input from the RS232. Is there anything else special that I need to set compared to the code stated in the help files for RS232 USART int...

I am trying to use flowcode pro v4. I want to input a command byte into a PIC16F887 using the EUSART. The command byte would have each bit set or cleared for a particular command, ie 00000001 to instruct an LED on etc. But I am unable to simulate this using the RS232 component as this only allows an...

Is there any way of allowing the LCD component to use all of the inputs D0-D7, E, RS and R/W instead of just the 4bit mode and no R/W if required as I have a requirement that uses the faster 8bit mode.
