Re: Control of components from inside flowcode?

Hi Ben, I am able to change the contrast when editing the init function, but that means i have to change the init function, then update the software to the chip for the settings to take effect. What i would like to do is change the init function from a menu in the software. Is this possible? Oh the ...

Re: Servo 180 deg. Rotation

Looking at the C file, there are 2 functions. 1 incriments and the other decrements. So purely as an example, if a stepper had 360 steps, then calling the incriment function 180 times will make it move 180 degrees. So calling it 120 times will move it 120 degrees. To move it back to 0 or "home" just...

In the properties box the font that is defined there i can change as long as i only use 8x5 pixel, if i try to add the last byte it automatically removes it, So i cant get an 8...

ENC28J60 Any plans ??

Hi

Are there any plans to use the ENC28J60 in a flowcode component for webserver?
It was something i was hoping to use but it appears that the component you use in webserver component is now obsolete.

If i were to use 8bit images would that make things easier??
If so how would i adjust the code to suit, i tried to do it but the image was just all over the place on the LCD.

Hi Ok, so i ran the 16bit code on this LCD and it does render the display OK, Only problem is that the colours are wrong, looking at the glcd component file it seems that the software converts the data its given into 16bit data, so im not sure that giving it 16bit data is the best thing to do.

Re: changing internal clock speed

I had mega problems with the extended CPU. Took me over a week to find it was actually that causing the problem. I don't know what it does exactly. But I just disable it. I disable everything that I don't fully understand.

Re: changing internal clock speed

Hi, the HS-PLL wont work with the internal clock, well at least i couldnt get it to work.

It needs to have an external clock to work with the HS-PLL,
Put an 8mhz crystal in the hardware and set HS-PLL and you will get 32mhz clock speed

the part where you get to bytes to create a word, is a 16 bit chip just able to get a word in one go?

Cheers for that ben. Made it a lot clearer. Now is it worth waiting for flowcode 5 for dsPIC. If so when is it likely to be released?
