Hello Ben ... okay - sorry - so late... however I wanted to check with you ... the value of 0x11 .. is that for the COMMAND BYTE of the MCP41XXX chips.. So I see .. two bits.. C1 ... then C0 .... and P1 ... and P0 ... so I think.??? C1 = 0 .. C0 = 1 ... then P1 = 0 .. and P0 = 1... ?? is this correc...

Hello Benj.... yeah - thanks for that ... I have just installed V9 - and am still getting used to how it all works... I saw ... and downloaded the .. fcpx file.... A also ask.. may I take that file - and stick it into the V8 ... I have...?? Would it work there... as well... AGAIN... - thanks - ever ...

Hello there Benj... SIR.!!! I thank you very very much... I really appreciate all the help I will get... I really look forward to what you find.... I want to purchase FLOWCODE 9 .. maybe even tomorrow 18th November 2022 - but definitely by Saturday... 19th November 2022... I have spoken to Alf Dobso...

Hello there guys..!!! OK... so you buy FLOWCODE.!!! and WOW .. here all of a sudden is.. a componemt .. called MCP41XXX ... so you try to find out what is a MCP41XXX... ??? and you then understand that it is a digital pot.!!!... ... and in good faith... seeing that you have now spent your hard earne...

Hello there squire - chipfryer ... yeah.. indeed ... as I stated - the +5V and 0V rails are all joined .. for the length of the run of the breadboard.. I have as you see in the flowchart.. put a LED out to flash for 1 second on and 1 second off.. which it does... After programming the chip.. I switc...

Hello Steve.. okay so I spent the Saturday morning.. rebuilding only the MCP41100 chippy onto a breadboard.. and attempting to use the MCP41XXX component... I retried both in Flowcode 8 and then on Flowcode 9... (also I downloaded the new version of Flowcode 9 - and it installed itself. I also did t...

Hello Steve.. yeah... okay... I wish I could... do all those things... I eventually scrapped the whole breadboard... and have subsequently tried a stepper motor ideology.. BUT that also did not work.!!! So I have scrapped trying to use any FLOWCODE components per se...!! BUT HEY MAN... WAIT.... soon...

Hello again.. OK so I got the use of a scope..and I particularly was very careful about just having only the MCP41XXX component in the flowcode.!! I also only did a FLOWCODE 9 - flowchart.. I setup a software loop.. so that the SETWIPER command was only used.. so as to set say 0,30,1 .... then wait ...

Hello there chipfryer. GEE man thanks a lot for all your comments and help... so far... as I have said.. I have tried all sorts of things...??? but no success.. How do I get the attention of the Matrix staffers.??? please..?? as I also said - in 2016 - one could use SPI etctec to get this sort of th...

Hello there... so yeah - i have tried all sorts of things to get this to work... It also works in my simulation mode... It's just a pity that it do not work in real life...!!! So it is also amazing that NONE of MatrixTsl staffers have voluteered a solution...???? You know it's 2022... and one would ...

Hello there - okay I will ... just also found out that I can hopefully use my PICKIT3... programmer as a logic analyzer.. I gonna try that then also to see what pulses are going around... Then.. I also wanted to say that.. I got.. the MCP chip right next to the 1936 chip.. and the wires to the MCP c...

Hello folks... well -it's now 2022... and in November.. so I have not been on the forums for ages.. I decided the other day .. to revisit the MCP41XXX component.. hoping that it would now be working.. I have FLOWCODE 8 (8.2.2.15) .. I have tried all sorts of processors.. I have even tried different ...
