Re: Docking into the dashboard not possible
Hi Ras, Sorry to take a while giving you a proper 'Matrix' response - we're running a skeleton crew at the moment while several staff are away on leave. I've experimented a bit with your findings, and on our systems here running the latest version (V6.0.7), I can confirm the bug that your seeing. It...

Re: Think i have found the Base Timing Bug ...
Loop 500 counts of 10ms delays ran fine in simulation, but not on hardware (16f917 intosc). It seemed to get stuck somewhere in a loop. Hi Rob, I just checked this out in the compiled code - it seems that the hardware is always using a single byte as the loop index counter, even if you specify a "w...

Re: Assign switch array to pins, is it possible?
Hi Ras, Re: Switch array Apologies for the errors - you should not be seeing the 'pin unconnected' message. As you say, the chosen 'switch shape' does need to be in the panel (but hidden), so that the component can see the 3D shapes and make copies for the array. The flowchart WILL still compile wit...

Re: Assign switch array to pins, is it possible?
Hi Ras, Assuming you are using the latest version 6.0.7, then 'Switch Array Base' is the right component - for earlier 6.0.x versions, there was only one version of this component, just called 'Switch Array'. The 'Base' version of the switch array may not be visible in the 'Inputs' menu at the top o...

Macro Library - 8-bit Float Maths
Hi All, The new component creator in v6 enables us to make all sorts of fantastic new 'add-ons' for Flowcode in a way that was much easier than before - they're just a bundle of flowcharts; no more messing with C-code and VB required! However, when we think of "components", it's very easy to fall in...

Re: Problem with Log Function with ECIO40
Hi patl02, You might be able to make use of the file I posted in this post. . There's a macro to calculate the natural logarithm, ln(x), (i.e. a logarithm with base 'e'). You can convert the natural logarithm to a base 10 logarithm by simply dividing the answer by 2.302585 (that's the natural logari...

Hi Rudi, Glad to hear that your project can move forward. Very strange bug with the String size. I've taken a look into it and, fortunately, it seems to be only cosmetic.

Hi Jordy, There's a chance it could be related to this bug that was found earlier in the week - if your '.Return' assignment uses an expression that joins sub-strings, it could be failing in exactly the same way.

Re: Append/New/Edit Macro Function for new Compo (new/copied
Hi Rudi, Generally speaking, you shouldn't have any problem using the Strings the way that you want to. The given size only sets a minimum size for the String in order to reserve some memory inside the chip. If your String grows longer, extra space will automatically be allocated so that the String ...
