Re: How to handle/avoid voltage drop on current load (ADC trouble)

Thanks again In response to your question: I dont know the exact length at the moment but I'm pretty sure that the supply wouldn't have to go further than 3m (6m roundtrip) at most. And that distance will only apply to some parts of the circuit/amount of LEDs, as I would have several cables powering...

Re: How to handle/avoid voltage drop on current load (ADC trouble)

Thanks to both of you on the elaborations. I've now now made two parallel connections from the PSU, one for the LEDs, and one for the remaining (voltage sensitive) part of the circuit, and everthing seems to work perfectly now. Its great that I now only need one PSU, even though I would have liked t...

Re: How to handle/avoid voltage drop on current load (ADC trouble)

Thanks for the quick reply, and your simple advice I quickly found that a large problem turned out to be the power-switch I had integrated into the circuit, which was greatly underated for the currents in the circuit. It seems that there were a voltage drop of around 300mA over that switch. Unfortun...

How to handle/avoid voltage drop on current load (ADC trouble)

Hi I've been trying to control a bunch of LED's through a PIC microcontroller and some microphones, such that the LED's light up whenever the microphones sense sound. The microphones are two small electret mics together with a amplifier circuit such that the output is centered around VDD/2 Volts whe...

XC8 compiler with not reacting on --ASMLIST flag

Hi Just upgraded from FC7 to FC8, and during my coding I got an Fixup error (1357). Microchip guides to look in the listing file, however, I cannot make FC8 give the --ASMLIST flag correctly to the cmd Here's what i wrote in the compile options diaglog Location: $(compilerpic)batch\pic_xc8_comp.bat ...

Re: Is C-code costomization of variable-declaration possible

Hej Benj Thank you so much for your answer, it just worked right away. Only a few changes had to be made to make it work for all three variables. You have saved my day. Events is a bit new to me, and until now I didn't really think it could be used to much else than simulation purposes, which I stil...

Is C-code costomization of variable-declaration possible?

Hey Is it possible to costomize the C-code in connection to variable declaration in FlowCode 7? I have found out that it is possible with most of the blocks in the Flow-diagram, but i can't find the functionality in connection to variable declarations. I'm working on a project with 3 arrays which is...

Re: I2C-communication between PIC16F88 MCUs (how to?)

Hey Benj Thank you for sorting it out for me. I might not be good enough at FlowCode (yet) to fully understand when to use the low-level-version, but as I just want to make the communication work, I will stick to your adwice and use the Comms version. I have already been looking at the page you reco...

I2C-communication between PIC16F88 MCUs (how to?)

Hey I'm working on a project where I would like to make two (maybe more as things evolve) microcontrollers communicate, and I found I2C, which is supported by FlowCode v7, as an obvious choice. Unfortunately I have not been working with it before, and I can't seem to make anything work at all. I hav...

Fixup overflow at function-call

Hi I am working on a project in FlowCode 7, in which, one of the functions is driven only by assembly. My program have worked fine, but somewhere I had to do some changes, and I had to change an if-statement from working with ">" to work with ">=", and now I get three fixup-overflow errors, when com...

Re: Arrays takes up all memory

Hi Thanks Now I understand why those assembly-blocks were highlighted each time the error occurred By looking at the auto-generated assembly-code FlowCode creates when reading from one of the arrays (via the regular calculation-block in FlowCode) I have found out how to access the arrays in the corr...

Re: Arrays takes up all memory

Thank you for the answer I have attached the program here. I did some cleanup in the program for your convenience, and it made it possible for me to make room for 14 bytes per array, but no more, and the memory-summary does not seem to have changed much. The arrays are globals and are called redArra...

Arrays takes up all memory

Hi I am working on a program with 3 arrays. Right now all three arrays contain 13 bytes, but i would like to expand all of those. Unfortunately the compiler makes som kind of memory-error, when I try to expand to 14 bytes per array. I have attacched the .msg.txt file with the error message. I have t...

Re: Programsize problems in FlowCode 7?

Hi

Thanks for the answer

The error was on my shoulders. I had forgotten that i had in-commented some code wich was not used, and because it was driving a LCD-display, this of course took a lot af program space.

But everything works fine now.

Re: Inline assembly in FC7

Hi

Thanks for the answer.

I read the manual for mplab XC8 compiler and found out that using #asm and #endasm was solving my problem. Unfortunately this lead to other syntax-errors, but i found a workaround and now everything works fine.
