Hello Benj,
Will the PIC16F1937 work with my EB006 v6 board?

I need a PIC that has at least 3 PWM....that is compatible with the EB006. Any suggestions?
I don't have a PICkit.

I downloaded and run the mloader ver 322. I get the same error. First it says "Attempting to detect chip...Unable to communicate with target: " Then later it says "Flash memory not verified - may be due to code protect"

Please see the configuration of the PIC.

Hello, I am trying to compile to PIC16F777 and PIC16F747 using EB-006 v.6 and also HP-488 v3. First it says "The chip could not be detected. Click 'OK' to use the specified chip (16F777)" Then I get an error "Flash memory not verified - may be due to code protect" I already configured the PIC to dis...

Can you please PM me your email address? I am having trouble sending PM through this forum. I still have 2 messages in my outbox up to now.

About 2 weeks ago I tested my V6 to program a PIC16F877A. The short test program worked so I decided to make it the real program that I needed. Today, when I tried to program the PIC16F877A with the longer version, I got "mloader has stopped working" How do I get the mloader to work on a normal prog...

Hello, I tried to open my v4 program on the V6. It simulates fine and looks like there's no problem. So, I saved it on V6 and compiled. I got the following error: Errors when generating C source code: LED B - with switch new test.c : 181 : error : Syntax error LED B - with switch new test.c : 191 : ...

I tried the patches Flowcode 6.02 and just today 6.03. Both of them gave a "decoding error=1" message and it doesn't continue. Any idea how I can update my V6?

I know now! It was because I use "Speed" as a variable name and I guess the system doesn't allow me to use it as a PWM name. I just made the name "Speed1" and it worked!

Actually I have two PWM and I was able to rename one of them but I couldn't change the other one. It just goes back to PWM1. I enjoyed the ADC Value appearing on the panel itself right under the ADC knob in Flowcode 4. It would be great to see it without having to look at another panel during simula...

Hello, Sorry if these might be stupid questions...I simply can't find how to label components. For example, I have a PWM component which I want to label SPEED. How is this possible? This also goes to ADC components or maybe switches. Another question is how do we make the value of ADC component appe...

Ok I will PM him.Thanks

Thanks for the encouragement!

Incidentally I checked the help menu and it says registered to 30day something. I tried to activate again and it still says the same thing after restarting flowcode.

When I click on licenses, it has an X on PIC16. I don't think it should be that way right?

Yehey! It's working now....next step is to learn how to work this....it's so different! Panic mode setting in

Hi I just purchased Flowcode 6 yesterday and tried to activate and got this reply

Upon checking out the Flowcode Download site, I noticed the following statement
Please note Flowcode v6 purchasing is temporarily disabled while we fix some issues please check back again soon.

What should I do?

Hello, Ok, I know now...it's not the screen resolution but the text size. My display text size was originally set to 125%. When I set it to normal the configure chip screen now looks normal. I understand now that Flowcode may have been meant for younger people who have very good eyesight and don't m...

Hello, Whenever I program my PIC using either HP-488 or EB-006 programmer board on Flowcode V5.4, I just use the USB connector. This means I have to enable "Low Voltage Program on the configure chip screen. When I click on Build>Project Options and click on "Configure chip" the screen looks incomple...

Ok. Please check it out in my PM. Thanks!

Hello, I tried to open my Flowcode 4.3 with Flowcode 5. It doesn't work. What should I do aside from redoing the entire program?

I made a crude program (attached) which needs some tweaking. To see if I am really able to read the PWM input, I send it back out to PWM output. Since I am using a 2MHz crystal, I set the PWM output to have a period of 8.192ms. I therefore count how long in 8ms is the pin on. For example, if it is o...

I was about to work in this direction but I have another question. What if the pulse width is on 100% of the time, then it will never stop counting, right? or if the pulse is never on, then it will never start counting. How can this be worked out. I will still need the 0% or 100% pulses as informati...

How can we receive pulse width signal INPUT and measure it? I want to receive two pulse width signals and compare them. How can this be done in Flowcode? I am using PIC16F877A. I used to do this using the ADC components and comparing the two voltage inputs. My goal is to shift to Digital inputs inst...

Hello, I have a program wherein i read ADC as integer potentiometer location and read target location ADC as integer (0-1023). I then get the distance between the two by comparing the potentio reading to the target (either Distance=target-reading or Distance=reading-target whichever is higher). If t...

Thanks Medelec for your explanation. I'm glad it's not something I should worry about!
