if other files in the projects directory (other than .fcf, .hex, .fcf.001) are made hidden, then also this error appears without any extra information

hi kersing,

thanks for reply,
i totally agree with your suggestion. and i tried non busy delays using timer interrupts but i didn't succeed. i will be grateful if you explain it with the example.

thanks,
Prashant

hi, the need for this topic is to discuss the disadvantage of inbuilt 'delay' macro within FC. although it works perfect in many applications but in some applications where many interrupts are used and it is not required to keep processor in busy loop. in these cases 'delay' creates timing issues eg...

hi Spilled,
i'm sorry for late reply..
as i didn't had much time to work upon those examples, i couldn't tried it.
as soon as i work on those examples with hardware, surely will update you guys..
thanks and regards,
Prashant

hey Martin,
thanks a lot... was waiting for your reply too.. ...
ok, i check the link and come back...
once again thanks..

HELLO BEN, as per your suggestion, i went through a search with keyword CAP TOUCH and i found a thread where you only have mentioned that in FC5 there is a option called 'ADC raw'. i would like to know how that works for cap touch. or do you have any example that uses adc raw feature? thanks and Reg...

hi,
i am planning to implement capacitive touch sensing using only ADC pin.
anybody has done this?
how can i implement this in flowcode?

Hi all,
got workaround for this... which is suggested by Ben.
measuring VDD on ine anlogue input and if that input is less than the full count then reset the micon..

thanks Ben for that

Hi Martin, first of thanks for the reply, secondly excuse me for the incomplete description of my problem, i have connected a 1000uF bulk cap across supply. BOD threshold for 16F676 is 2.1V, and the same for 16F628A is around ~4.2V, earlier i did not mention that on power down Display with 16f628A t...

just read reply of Ben in other BOD related topic, felt that is fine but difficult to implement as remaining device memory low for ADC function

Prashant

Hi,
I am using 16f676 chip and driving one 7 seg display, what my problem is the vdd is 5v and the rated BOD voltage for this chip is 2.1v which creates dimming effect on 7 seg display. if anybody has any idea to avoid that dimming effect of 7 SEG, would be greatly appreciated.
Prashant

hi,
same issue of using multiple port lines for driving 7 segment display..

yes got that in FCv5,
can someone please help me with it for FCV4.5

hi,
rocket6delta, anybody got the idea...?

hi,
i am also looking for the same.
i m going to use the controller 16f1936, which is equipped with enhanced pwm, where dead band delay also included.
i just want to know that how those some enhanced features used or controlled through FC4.

thanks n regards
Prashant Kamble.

Hi Martin, i am extremely sorry for such long delay to update you.. :cry: i have attached the image of power supply used for microcontroller and voltage divider circuit to read from mains. if live and neutral connections as exchanged then there is a chance of shock hazard in this circuit as power su...

hi bill and Martin, if you want and have some 'spare time :lol: ' you can implement lm34 with the help of opamp and lm35 as you dont have lm34 sensor. Using conversion formula of degC to degF. using opamp make circuit that will add 32 as an offset and anjust the gain of (9/5). collectively the circu...

hi Martin,

i checked the optocoupler, it serves the purpose but it will be a costly solution.

glad to have help from you.

one more thing Martin, i was thinking to use V to F converter as replacement for costly Linear opto. is it possible?
soon i upload the circuit diagram,

Hi Martin, If it was me measuring AC mains, I would probably use opto-isolator with a fixed CTR. can you mention the optoisolator name or no.? i practically implemented this technique, i used mct2e optosiolator and same config. as u stated Using this method you can directly interface the output of o...

hi Ben, so for separate DC PSU, i should use separate transformer? it may make the unit so bulky.. :cry: actualy i was using capacitive power supply for the electronics part as it working on very less current, but this capacitive PS is unable to drive Relay as relay's current requirement is much hig...

Hi All, i want the efficient way to measure the ac line voltage of the amplitude 250Vrms, tried several methods, 1. line coltage --> full wave bridge rectifire --> filter caps --> resistor divider network... almost all worked up to the measurements of amplitude. problem is that my project is having ...

Hello, First off thanks for updating... i am really sorry that i didn't mention the flowcode version. I have edited the FCV 4 component files. I didn't had much information about the compatibility of FC component files between different versions of the FC. Anyways, it is much easier to edit the comp...

Hi All, attached the edited component files of 7segment (single and 4 7seg.) components. just replace the original .c files with these ones in components folder of your FC installed directory. also make sure to back up the original files, not necessary but you can easily revert back if you think you...

Hi Martin, thanks a lot for clearing me where to post the files... :D Hello, I am looking to do the same thing. If you have a modified 7 segment LED component, can you please post the code? yes surely i am going to upload the corresponding files in my next post.. as mentioned by Martin, you will fin...

HI Bill, can you upload the image of the program in jpg etc. format as i dont have F6 version to run the file you uploaded..

even i am using LM35 tempsensor in my current project. so i would like to know tthe method you used to display the output temperature.

Prashant

hello Rinie, The method you used to generate the 1 sec interrupt is proper one. How can I use the value of the counter to generate another Interrupt to start the "send on CAN" macro? when the counter overflows set flag(say send_can_flag) and clear this flag at the end of the main loop. and just befo...
