Re: Req: Comp. support for PIC18F46Q10

Hello,

Many thanks for your request.

The 18F46Q10 device is available in the latest version of Flowcode.

Maybe you could try the 30-day free trial and see if it is an option for you.

Hi George, Are you running Flowcode v7.3 and have you applied the fixes listed here? https://matrixtsl.com/mmforums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=19743 If you have then you could try loading the project into Flowcode v9 and see if that solves the problem for you. If it has then I can compare the component fi...

Re: BBC weather component IP address (solved I think)

Hmm interesting,

The URL is resolved to an IP address using your DNS server, this might be something your ISP is providing and maybe there is a problem here. You could try forcing your computer to use the google DNS of 8.8.8.8 or the cloudflare DNS of 1.1.1.1.

Re: Stepper motor Drivers in flowcode

Hello,

Flowcode v9 supports step and direction type stepper drivers.

In earlier versions of Flowcode you probably need to do things using general purpose outputs such as LED components.

For example.

Hi Rod, It looks like the latest version of the PIC32 compiler may need to be licensed, or at least activated in some way before you can use it.

Re: Problems with PIC12F629 that doesn't program them to work

I've posted a new definition file to the v8 and v9 update systems which should hopefully solve the problem for you.

Please note once you have downloaded the definition update you will have to go into the project options and redo your chip configuration settings as they are now in a new format.

Re: ADC NOISE REDUCTION in AVR

Hello,

A common Avr circuit uses a 10uH inductor between vref and vcc and a 100nf cap between vref and gnd. Then in your adc settings switch to use the external vref. This should help to get rid of some noise.

Martins suggestions are also very useful.

Hello,

Looking again the PWM component properties there is no value selected for the Timer, maybe ths could be causing a problem?

Let us know how you get on. If you're still having problems then I'll see if I can replicate here on an Arduino Leonardo.

Have you looked at the DSP wave generator component, it might do just what you need in terms of generating sine wave look up table values and allowing you to step through the waves at different rates.

However using the OSCCON and OSCCON2 registers it looks like you should be able to toggle the PLL functionality on and off to allow you to clock ...

Re: PWM Control for elektrical motor with potentiometer.

Hello,

Your loop is maybe too tight and hence you are almost constantly writing to the PWM registers, maybe try adding a delay inside the loop to give the PWM chance to run.
