Re: CAN Support,

Hi Why doesn't FC just allow us to use the internal CAN interface on a given uC sort out an interrupt for received addresses which have been setup up and have done with it? The actual physical connection can be utilised with interface chips. Going out and trying to find CAN chips then write specific...

Re: Libaries (various) & Flowcode

Hi Ben, Unfortunately I do not know how to port code - that's why I purchased FC :wink: As using Arduino libraries is not yet possible, is there any news on the 1wire component request I asked for quite a while ago now (via PM) I supplied soo much info and links to info on you to do it? You've actua...

Libaries (various) & Flowcode

Hello all,

Whats the latest on importing, say, Arduino libraries or similar, into FC can this be done yet and if so how do they get used?

Thanks

Re: Brushless DC Motor Control (AN857)

Buzogany,

Why do you want us to recreate the wheel - is it a homework question ;-D

DRV10970 Sensored
DRV10974 Senseless (is one example, there are other in the family)

Let me challenge you - lets have a look at your flowchart first

CANbus

Hello Everyone,

Is anyone using Flowcode and CANbus for Automotive interfacing - just reading OBD codes. If yes how successful has it been and does the FC macro work with the different OBD formats.

Thanks

Re: Looking for the best solution to solve this common ground problem

Hi Joshua, Interfacing to inductive power loads can be a dark art. Not only that consideration must be made to transients and back emf problems. You have not included a circuit diagram so it is hard to help you further. Your best bet is to buy a dedicated driver board to control the motors and you j...

Re: Automotive PSU

He Steve,

Good to here from you again.

Yeah 12Vdc nominal and I think 14.4Vcd charge possibly upto 15.2V - (I cant remember if AGM's have a maintenance de-sulphuring 15.2Vdc type cycle)

I will have a look at the links now

Hi FC does not assume you will be connecting a stepper motor directly to the microcontroller or any other motor for that matter! FC sets up and configures the control waveforms needed,, YOU must supply the buffers/drivers to interface to your chosen motor. How can any microcontroller supply 2.5A ish...

So, say I setup a transmit AE 12 AC (whatever) how do I act on these bytes to do some on the receiving end, what is the decision method to extract the data from these bytes and act on it - h...
