Hello Tim There is a microsecond command but this has not been implemented into Flowcode as of yet as it does not work for all clock speeds. The C code command is delay_us(1); //Delay for 1 microsecond delay_us(50); //Delay for 50 microseconds A more reliable approach is to use delays of 10 microsec...

Hello

We will look into this problem for you.

However a simple temporary fix would be to go into the Edit - Supplementary code window and enter the following line of code into the top window.
Repeat this for all of the registers that are flagged as not defined.

Hello

The configuration screen in Flowcode replaces these line of code.

@CONFIG_REQ
@__CONFIG PWRTE_ON & WDT_ON & HS_OSC & LVP_OFF

So basically you want a HS oscillator mode with the Watchdog on and LVP off. Other settings are up to you.

Hello Ondra No you cannot include the number 34 inside the speechmarks or it will be interpreted as the ascii chars for 3 and 4. You must do the following to assign the value to a string. example_String = " Hello " example_String[0] = 34 example_String[6] = 34 would provide the string "Hello" If you...

Hello Ondra According to the device datasheet (available from Microchip.com) the interrupt enable bit is RCIE and is found in the pie1 register, the interrupt flag bit is RCIF and is available in the pir1 register. You also need to enable Interrupts via settings bits GIE and PIE in the intcon regist...

Hello Ondra

Attached are the LIN bus example files to go with the solution notes.

Hello

You could use a C code block with the following code.

Hello Ondra

The LIN manual is now available online from the following address,

Hello Ondra

To do this you will have to assign the ascii numeric value for the " character.

MyStringVar[70] = 34

Sorry Pete

Think I must have been in Flowcode mode. Glad you've got it all working now. Yes the ARM devices are certainly very flexible and powerful. Were all looking forward to the Flowcode for ARM release here at Matrix.

Hello Your program is running with a lag as each new switch introduces delay icons. I would change the program so that all of the overall control structure runs without delays. Then I would have a number of variables that represent the states of the outputs which get updated by the control structure...

Hello Ondra TestString[0] is referencing a byte from the string. TestString is referencing the entire string. You can use the string compare function available in the string manipulation icon. Here is an example where comparison is a byte variable and TestString is a string variable or array. compar...

Hello Ondra The String can be assigned by using a string manipulation icon and the following. MyArrayVar = "Hello" Alternatively you can use a calculation icon with the following, MyArrayVar[0] = 'H' MyArrayVar[1] = 'e' MyArrayVar[2] = 'l' MyArrayVar[3] = 'l' MyArrayVar[4] = 'o' MyArrayVar[5] = 0 Th...

Hello

If you go into the SPI properties then there is a help button which should take you directly to the SPI help file.

Otherwise the help file can be found in the main Flowcode V3 folder named SPI.hlp.

Hello Ralph

Thats great news glad its working correctly for you now.

You could simply fit the 16 bit number into a INT variable.

Eg.

High Byte = 64
Low Byte = 119
Result Int = ( High Byte << 8 ) + Low Byte

Hello Ondra n the suggestion above if I use "while InChar<>13" as my loop control, would the loop process save the ASCII 13 in the variable then stop or would the loop be stopped before the ASCII 13 is written to the variable. Actually neither. The loop process only tests the variable at the start o...

Hello Ondra

You can just use decision icons to look for the incoming codes you are going to use. Eg if it is not a valid code then simply skip the result and scan for the next.
Or you can apply an AND or OR mask to the data to reduce the number of possible inputs.

Hello Ralph The last byte variable tells the I2C slave device that no more bytes will be read. So you will need to send a 0 for the first byte and a 1 for the second byte. Also have you used pull up resistors on the line. The I2C driver cannot pull up the line to +5V so it requires the two pull up r...

Here are the latest versions of the FCD files with the PortB interrupt moved to PortA.

Hello Mark

Glad youve managed to revive your module. Thanks for posting your fix. Let us know if you have any further problems.

Hello Ondra I have updated the RS232 interrupt example now as there were a couple of problems with it before mainly due to the fact that I was editing the file with my beta version of Flowcode. The disable icon is only there as an example. It does not actually get called by the example program as it...

Hello Ralph The I2C is currently only operational in master mode via Flowcode. This means that you cannot currently use it as a bus between two microcontrollers. Maybe the RS232 or SPI bus would be ok for you to use. You can use Flowcode to test your programs by queing up bytes in the component rece...

Hello Mark It should not be possible to delete the factory settings unless you are using a) your own hardware or b) your own programming language eg C. Have you tried removing power from the bluetooth board to allow the module to reset. If you moved the jumper fom 5V to 3.3V when using a 5V system t...

Hello

Here is a quick example that shows how to receive any message coming in from the CAN bus.

The program collects the ID_LO and the ID_HI bytes if there is a valid message.

You could then check if the ID is acceptable and then do some further processing etc.

Hello I did test on ccp1 (RC2) and on ccp2 (RC2) no signal with multimeter By this do you mean I did test on ccp1 (RC2) and on ccp2 (RC1) no signal with multimeter If not then hopefully the problem is just the pin you were testing, Remember to check your configuration settings are correct in Flowcod...
