Matrix user forums

Hello everyone, What is the procedure and protocol to connect two (or more) microcontrollers together so that they can share some info. It would be nice to use I2C purely because of limited wires between two locations. The data is minimal a few bytes occasionally . Additionally, would it be possible...

Hi

You mean litre! Not letter.

This is not a Flowcode issue necessarily, this is a sensor issue.

When you have researched which type of level gauge you will be using we can help.

Matt

Thanks Martin

Hi alikut99

I did a tutorial on Custom LCD characters (Tips and Tricks) .

The custom characters HAVE to be defined first - straight after the START/INITIALISE Component macro., and I can confirm that they DO NOT simulate.

Hi Nicmaes,

I think this is correct, arent servos referenced form the middle of there travel.
I think your thinking the 0to255 is from start to end not middle to ONE end

Matt

Kersing,

What is wrong with DanielS' question- it seems an entirely reasonable question to me.

If you know of an issue with DanielS perhaps a PM would be a more suitable redress.

........The description and user guide should be updated accordingly how the issues are fixed or better-explained elsewhere like a forum. This is not so much work for Matrix guys but would have a large reflection on product use, and user satisfaction (10% of work will deliver 90% of issue solving)....

Hi John,

I'm intrigued with your project - I'm working away and don't have the PC with me, could you post some PICs.
Thanks

Hi Leigh, Just a slightly off topic question concerning the sort of action you mentioned here to get some nacross/components working. Possibly anecdotally, there seems to be a lot of problems with components recently that to work, need some form of workaround or an obscure process only known by the ...

Hi

Not sure it your module has one but if it has a small potentiometer to adjust the brightness - give it a tweak. Often LCD modules can be set too bright and the characters don't appear to display

Matt

Not impressed with the new forum software!!

Why must I now HAVE to log in to use certain options eg active posts.

Hi,

Please post your chat

When I run the following example "Servo Example 1" from here https://www.matrixtsl.com/wikiv7/index. ... 37e9b979a2 it turns 180deg.

Matt

Hi Leigh,

Your 0xFF solved it - I've been a muppet!!! I've put a '1' in the "Variable or Value box" and thought the 1 would be written the whole port

Brain Fart day

Thanks Bud

Hi Martin,

I'll be damned!!!!!

Does this get added to the compiled or is it just simulation?

Oh by the way the routine works like a charm thank you again

Matt

HI Tiny, Just guessing - Could the problem be that FC defaults the string length to 20 characters After you have setup the string variable go back into it and click on the 20 in the square brackets and change it . I found a similar problem which compiled and simulated correctly but failed in hardwar...

Hi Could someone run the following for me and try and get the led's to light up in the "Port_Test" macro by writing either writing 1's to the port or using bit masking. I can only seem to get it working by using the "single Bit" option BUT if you disable/remove the macro call things seem to work pro...

Hi Medelec,

How are you passing the values of the switches into the ADC variable, I cant see anything in properties etc
thanks
Matt

Hi John Which layout did you use in the end? Yeah breadboard is great but don't forget it, like veroboard, can suffer from timing issues and cross talk due to capacitance so don't try and put a high frequency across it or you might chase your tail trying to find problems. I strongly suggest you look...

Can I have you computer

Hi John, Right thanks for the info and you haven't wasn't my time - but I was beginning to feel you might be :D :wink: I think this is a case of trying to stop you over thinking - you're winding yourself up in knots lets rewind a bit!!! First off stop thinking about ASCII this or ASCII that. Lets ge...

Hi, I've tried and it crashes the first instance when I paste a component over from second to first Besides why should I have to? When you open 4 PDF's there isn't 4 Adobe readers running - there's the reader and 4 documents open underneath modern application shouldn't waste resources like that Matt

Hi It would be really handy if multiple projects could be open concurrently AND be able to cut and paste between them. If am working on a project and, say a useful code snippet is posted on the forum which I want to look at, a second window within FC should open NOT try and close the existing and op...

Hi

I don't think it is good form to be able to close FC hitting the X. A prompt should flag up before closing down. A couple of times now of accidently closed FC losing my changes

Matt

To Ben and Leigh

Further to my recent PM to you both and for the reasons posted above, I'm sorry I didn't give the work you did for me fair consideration.
I wanted to publically acknowledge that I was wrong implying you guys didn't produce what I asked for - you did.

Matt

Medelec, I am SO sorry I did you a disservice - no I didn't run the code . I don't use the 3D Panel I took a quick look at the code saw nothing in the 2d panel and didn't see the LCD component on the chart I thought it was just reading the ADC port - (I think I need to apologise to Ben and Possible ...
