Hi

I cant access help file when I clik on index in help menu windows comes and says failed to launch help.
wondering if you could help resolve this for me. I am using windows 7 64 bit ultimate.

Ok for your information here is how things are setup. although no autodect is worrying I am however using a PIC16F616 Linker /assembler Location C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\BoostC\boostlink.pic.exe params -ld "C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V4\BoostC\lib" ...

Ok I clicked restore defaults and all seems OK except for configure menu where the USB cable is reported as unplugged. compiling and sending programe to programmer now lights up the busy light as if programming.

Benj I have ensured that this is set up correctly for PICkit2 as per your web site and it still reports USB Cable not conneted. Have now got problem with linker error code7 unable to find hex file. as follows Linker C:\PK2CMD_MTX\pk2cmd_mtx.exe Params -ld "C:\Program Files (x86)\Matrix Multimedia\Fl...

Ok Flowcode still reporting USB cable not connected but PICkit2 software working and detecting chip OK.

OK found it in device manager as USB Human Interface Device. but can,t change driver or change power settings which is not on for this device. ???

Trying to programme with PICkit2. as now working with surface mount chips

I have set up PICkit2 as per your web site instructions, still does not apear in USB section in device manager, niether does your e-blocks programmer eb-006, with both of them I get the ping pong from windows and nothing shows up in USB section.
PIKkit2 v2.61 does read devices no problem however.

I have problems with PPPv3 and flowcode 4. I am using Vista 64 bit ultimate. PPV3 reports requiring License although latest version: however this has not happened for a while. PPv3 says USB cable not connected although PICkit2 v2.61 access programmer and reads chip no problem. I have updated to late...

I am sorry turns out it is circuite error my fault all is working fine now. Funny I have checked it 3 or four times but still missed it. short between tracks on circuite bo

Hi
Any advise on changing LCD.c so I can use another display I have to use Batron BT 21603V. any help is good. can for instance I make a new LCD component and have them both in Flowcode.

Steve

Thanks for code I will try it out today. I hope that version 4 has this functionality built in. Also be good if you could have a square wave oscilator to feed into the chip for text purposes. Looking foreward to the new code later in year.

Hi Benj

Stil waitting on your 3 and 2 led mod which would help enormously, as I am getting cinfused as what led should be on when it is off. and what switch is active when off. Any little will help.

Regards
JohnF

Is there also an oscilator component so you could set up switching input?

Yes As a matter of fact there is 3 LEDs positive the way it is now and two negative. so yes this would indeed help. I have posponed this work until thursday as I have other pressing things to get on with. however I have this code to develope over next fortnight. So anything that helps would be good....

How long before version 4. As it means I can't use flowcode for this project and will need to find other software

The problem is interfaces from other circuits can be simulated manualy in flowcode if you can change direction of switchs and LEDs on a bank by bank basses. if leds.c can be modified so that for instance LEds(0) can be on Low and LEDs(1) can be on high. then that is a usfull mod. Can this be done wi...

Hi I have a circuit designed with interfaces useing exting components on another board, it has LED.s to supply and ground so I need to be able to set up LEDs in both modes. Also switches due to interfaces are also both ways to ground or Supply. the ability to change this within flowcode would make l...

Logic for switches and LEds. great for your test circuits using e-blocks which I have however for real circuits I need switches to pull inputs low as well as high. LEDS on states that are eather low or high. Can the logic be changed as an option in flow code. I have the professional versions of PIC,...
