Hi Anyone, I have a problem with the 433 meg rf modules. I have had them working but now they have packed up. I believe it could be flowcode v4, I am running the very latest or so I believe v4.5.18.74 When adding the rf component to my code the chip does not work, when removing it, it works fine, th...

Hi John,

Thanks for the relay and help, the Co-ordinator program is fcf but the end node is "c" think maybe the wrong type you posted ?

Can you forward the end node and I will try once more.

Thanks Again
James

Hi Everyone,

Having problem with zigbee talking or doing anything.

Hi Guys,

Maybe you can help me with my problem.

Two eb006 boards with EB51 attached one co-or and the other end node.
Program downloaded attached.

Help please

Hi, I believe the 18f14k50 would be a better choice due the limited room for programming using flowcode, the 13k50 seems fairly useless to be honest, but still have the issue with the family not being reconized by the pc ! maybe something to do with the setup ? , When I get a 18f14k50 I will test an...

Hi, My device is a custom descriptor that Ben wrote for me, it originally was for a relay switching unit running through VB2008 from microsoft using the 18f4455 chip, that works no probs, when using the usb converter e.g ft232bl that works fine with any chip supporting a uart on board. So not new to...

Hi james,

Yep tried that and still no joy, the issue I'm getting is this below: Cheers
James

Hi Ben,

I have attached my program for your perusal regarding still not working, if you would be so kind and have a quick look and you proberly will see what is wrong knowing you ?

Thanks in advance

James

Hi,

Thanks for the info sparkoids.

Ben have you managed to sort this issue so I can get going on the development of this chip ?

Thanks
James

Hi ,

To anyone who has used this PIC successfully, I have used the 18f2455 and the 18f4455 family and have successfully used them with HID setup, the PC does not like the settings in the 18f13k50 PIC.

Any Help much appreciated.

Hi,

Does anyone have details on the Siemens MC55, basically will it work with flowcode, reading the data it says the comms is done over uart and should be fairly straight forward.
The sample flowcode program supplied by matrix, will this work with the MC55 module ?

Thanks for any help

Hi, Forget the last thread, the flash command is all part of the configuration after studying it. In the original custom code it did work, but the flash command did not, now I know why, when the custom code was done for me by matrix they had the flash code incorrect on the "start" command. All is wo...

Hi, Yes I tried that but it would not work for me, and another thing the display is flashing all the time, the data is working and is displaying, just won't stop flashing ?? I have tried a few displays and they do the same, must be something else in the custom code or flowcode itself ?? Not sure rea...

Hi,

That works, what did you do ?

Best Regards
James

Hi,

Thanks for that, but when I use the custom code the program "flowcode v4" closes, use any other component and it works fine.

Same on the both computers !

Help

Hi,

I can't read the "C" file details on the pc at home, I'm running win7, at work I can see the details on xp ?

Don't understand the "start tag" command ??

Cheers
James

Hi Steve,

The custom code is attached.

I am running version 4.5.18.74 flowcode
Thanks
James

Hi, Anyone had any issues regarding custom codes. I had a custom code done for me by Ben Rowland and have updated flowcode a few times since then, why when I place the custom code in flowcode directory I cannot see it ? The current version of flowcode starts with "PIC" my custom code I had done just...

Hi John, Have found the problem, one of the development boards I'm using have been left from a previous project with 18f4455, USB HID project, the usb port selects jumper settings C3, C4 and C5, when returned back to normal position the rf modules started talking. Thanks for you pointers. Regards Ja...

Hi John, Yes I agree, I have a counter that displays on the lcd, this counts 8 bit, this works fine and keeps working, only when I introduce the rf component into the circuit, the counter does not work ? It's as if the program does not get past this component in the sequence of the software ? I have...

Hi John,

Thanks for your examples.

Unfortunatly I have not been able to get the devices to talk, I have loaded your examples directly into the chips no mods etc.. and still not working, about time the boys from matrix shed a little light on this to be honest.

Regards
James

Hi Ben, Yes I got it working but had to change a few software settings that were enabled. Just an update:- EB058 works with - 16f88, 18f4455 EB058 Not Working with - 16f877a, 16f873a EB051 works with - 16f88, 16f877a EB063 works with - 16f88 EB063 Not working with - 16f877a, 16f873a The pattern emer...

I feel your trying to put your finger on something hardware, it's not hardware, it's the software, when I introduce into the current program which I have attached, the program does not run, when I remove the RF send byte component the program runs, there is a problem with the software v4.5.18.74 flo...

Hi, I am running a one second flash on and off displayed on port A on my 16f877a, this works lovely. When I add the RF Component to my project and download it, the program stops running e.g the leds stop flashing, no other hardware and software changes have been altered ????? The RF component is con...
