Hi, thank you for the reply. I checked and the pic kit is properly set up, but I noticed absence of the whole 16f18xx family in the »C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\Tools\PICkit2\Readme For PK2CMD« file. Can this mean it is not supported? The connections are all ok I tried on demo boa...

Hello. I have a problem with programming pic16f1828. I am using pickit2 programmer (the pic is listed as supported) and flowode v4. Pickit2 v2.61 software does not recognize it and neither does flocode. I am currently using bostic compiler, is this ok or am I suppose to use hi-tec compiler? Has anyo...

Hi,
I had reset the compiler settings and it works so thanks for the help.

Sorry I forgot to erase the LCD I used it to check if the counting works properly (It is not needed and was not there when I tried compiling). I'll try using Boostc compiler.

Hello, I am working on a school project and the debugger returns me an error. The error states I should check C code I wrote, but I did not use C code at all (only block diagrams). The simulation works flawless except for a switch which does not change state (On D3). I am using Flowcode V4, pickit 2...

I didn't know how to insert it so I uploaded it on my web page under name test(.fcf or .c) (onely one) you can find it here https://sites.google.com/site/janbozeglav/Home/projekti/test As I stayed the program is just a test program to test the keypad Jan

Hi, I was working on my next project and as always I tested the parts of the program before the whole thing. When I did a test of receiving a number from a keypad 4×4 and displaying it on an LCD I discovered a big error. The keypad was giving me different numbers (mostly around 1-10) even when no bu...

Hi, I am trying to make a watch with witch I would control relays. This relays would change position with time and with temperature, but I came across a problem. I am still a beginner in Flowcode, but I am a quick learner. At first I wanted to use for clock real time clock chip but I am not very goo...

Ok, I made program for two PIC's (one for transmiting and one for receiving data). Transmiting from "transmiting" PIC is OK which I saw in Pickit2 UART tool, but on the other side (in "output" of recever It gave me a lot of "noise" (saw in Pickit2 tool). Maybe, betwen this noise is data which I tran...

So, under post is a program, where I send command AT+CMGI=? to GSM modul (Falcom A2D). GSM modul then must give me answer OK, but I don't give anything. Maybe do you know where is a problem? (Maybe in delays or in recieve macro?) The answer must be shown on LCD in second line. I use PIC16F876A and a...

Thanks! Ok, so now…I took RS232 component… From one INT variable, I made two BYTE variables round your prescription, but…in Send mode (RS232), I can chose SendRS232Char (INT) or SendRS232String. STRING I can't use for BYTE variable, but If I use INT, then I get only ******* in RS232 component (Chara...

Hi! I have one (or two :D) problem(s). For my own project I am making (in Flowcode V4) device which measures temperature and humidity. This two physical quantities I displays on LCD and min/max values for this two quantities too. OK, this work very well ;) I am trying to measure outdoor temperature ...

Hi In the last month I was writing a program for two pic micro controllers and when I programmed them I found out that I have a 2-10 second delay in response from when I turn the potentiometer to when pic responds to it. I am using pic 16f73 and 20MHz crystal. When tried to program the device I coul...

Hi, I am tiring to use ds18s20 or ds18b20 temperature sensor but I don't know a lot about it. I saw that it is in Flowcode, that it uses one wire communication and that there are already macros made for these sensors. But I heard that that macro setting is useful only if I use the right crystal (196...

Hi When I tried to translate it says I left out the file name... Launching the compiler... C:\Program Files\HI-TECH Software\PICC\9.70\bin\picc.exe --CHIP=16F1937 -N48 Flowcode1.c (100) unterminated #if[n][def] block from line 51 (1273) Omniscient Code Generation not available in Lite mode (warning...

Hi I received the Flowcode V4 and updated it but when I tried to program my pic it didn't translate instead it turned errors (20-30 errors) and in the end it said: If your flowchart contains C code, please review this carefully. If your flowchart contains no C-code or you have thoroughly reviewed th...

thanks for the info

Hi I was wondering haw is it with updating Flowcode from V4 to V4.2 or the latest V4.3? I just ordered Flowcode V4 and the store where I ordered it didn’t know haw this goes. Is the update free and if I can just download and pres update or is there something else I have to do? Jan

Hi I had a look at the list of pic microcontrollers in V4 at my school but I still could not find this one in the list that opens at the beginning of programming assembly. I have had some similar problem using another program to create PCB circuits but the problem there was when you were in the libr...

Hi I just bought pic 16f1937 and when I tried to program it in flowcde I came across a problem. In the list of pic microcontrollers I could not find it. Is there a way to program it as an similar pic or is there a file that I should download so that I would add this pic to my pic library? Jan

HI I have entered a license key about a month ago but a few days ago it has expired. At this time I realized I have forgotten to enter the second key. I tried to re-enter the key and to reinstall flowcode but it still didn't work. My question is if there is something I have to do before entering the...

Hi I saw you mentioned the distance of the cable. The distance of the cable is about 35m or 105 feet. In order to work a friend that is helping me with the project suggested me to use two max232 and place them one next to each pic so the amplitude of data being transferred would be higher there for ...

Hi I am quite new in programming pic microcontrollers and I was wondering witch connection pic to pic would be the easiest and best to perform. I havent decided on witch pic to use but I am thinking about using PIC16F1933 or PIC18F2331. I want to use three adjustable resistors an LCD display (4?20) ...
