Hi all, I found out that the string manipulation function Compare$() is not working, it Always gives a retval of 1. Im receiving a string from my WIZ610WI module <SHJJAKL24_43AF5V6CD... I need to collect the chars until I get to "_" this way Im able to get the SSID from the string. But this s not wo...

Hi Ben,

I have used another USB Socket and now the programmer works just fine, hmm strange.
At least I can program again.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Good evening, Today I finally found some time to work on my Vinculum 1 Component, and I made very good progress. However, ad about 18:50 suddenly my EB006 / Flowcode stopped working as I was trying to program my PIC16F877A. Also A strange message from windows popud up saying "USB Power exceeded" I t...

Then the TS must be mistaken because he claims the I2C master & Slave are working in hardware.
Ore am I missing something.

Im sure the matrix team can do something about this, If you ask them if they can support this chip, then they would probably would look into this and let you know if they are going to ore not. The PWM component works like it should, so no problem there. I hope this is the information you are after, ...

Hi acestu, I don't think that this problem is related to the hardware ore software from 4D systems. The problem is when the pic needs to do more then just communicating with the LCD the the problem occurs, If the only job for the pic is to communicate with the LCD everything works great, So we need ...

Hi all, I have a small question about the VisiGenie component. Im currently using the 4D Systems uLCD-43-PT for my programmable power supply. It works great but I have a question, In my program I need to monitor and display some system values such as DC bus voltage, output voltage and current and He...

Perhaps I did not tell you but I don't use the internal ADC.
I use a 12bit external ADC the MCP3208 with a 4.096 voltage reference.

So I cannot fuse the raw ADC functions of the ADC component

Jordy, I checked the firmware manual for the Vinculum 1 and there is a way to set the FAT format file date using the command date or even better datetime This is from Chapter 6 Monitor Command Set. More info in Table 6.4 File Date and Time Bit Fields Maybe you could create a new macro where the use...

You probably have a small value capacitor between GND and the ADC line. Otherwise put one 100nF ceramic cap there as well. hyperion007 has made a very good point there With my circuit I had even increased to 47uF before my reading was nice and stable. It also depends of the source resistance. The h...

Have you tried using the ADC RAW average component macro? First enable ADC RAW Then use the RAW AverageINT or AverageBYTE and put for example 16 samples with a 1000us interval time Try that. I get much more stable results with this method. You probably have a small value capacitor between GND and t...

Hi all, I have some trouble with measuring the voltage output of my current sensor ACS756. I read the voltage using my ADC MCP3208, when I read back the values it jumps from 2473 to 2481... It's all over the place this is when no current flows, when I apply current to the circuit (2A) the the readin...

Well this is awesome.

Thanks for letting us (me) know the progress you made.
Im also happy that the component is working for you.

Regards Jordy

That's great to here,

As for you other suggestion i will look into this,
I don't have much free time at the moment and it's going crazy at work.

But when I find and get some time I will look in to this and try to make a component update with you're recommendations.

Regards Jordy

After a good night of hard working and head banging I got it to work.

If anybody is interested in component version of the MCP3208 the let me know.

Regards Jordy

Hi all, I need some assistance with reading a ADC MCP3208 by the SPI bus. Everything I do seems to backfire on my and im only getting incorrect values. I hope that you guys can help me with my problem. http://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/en/DeviceDoc/21298e.pdf I have also attached my program: For th...

I think is shouldn't be a problem to convert your flowcode v5 component to version 6.
I would be happy to assist you with the conversion of your component.

Let me know what you think about it.

Regards jordy

Hi, I think it possible what you are trying to accomplish. For your first suggestion: My personal opinion is that such a component would be unnecessary Because you can do this in a calculation box. But he proof me wrong :) For your second suggestion: This can also be done using flowcode, you can use...

Hi Matrix Team, Im just surfing the net around and something comes to mind and I think it would be a great addition to the eblock family. How about a adapter eblock for the click boards that are being made by Mikro Electronica. This makes it easer to use their click board into our Flowcode projects....

here by I'm releasing a tutorial that will help you understand the communication with the vinculum module.
If you have any questions or recommendations please let me know.

Hi I've just tried mine again.Using a 256MB flash drive. This is the sequence of events Apply power to system LEDs 1 & 2 on the Vinculum alternate a few times starting with 2 LED2 then gives a double flash LED2 then lights steady and the led on the flash drive flickers. Press SW0 LED on flash drive...

So the LEDs on your flash drive does not flash when you first plug it in.

Yes I think that would be possible, however can bus is not meant to be used as a communication bus over such a short distance, I'm not saying it won't work because it will just fine. But if you're looking for a comms bus that does not leave the pcb the. I would choose serial like rs232.

What I would use is RS232 or can bus. I don't know what type of environment you want to use your arduino application. I have done some work with CAN BUS that worked pretty well but you do need to know how the protocol works before you can use it. at least that was my experience with it. Maybe you co...

Hi, I can understand what your problem is and to be honest I experience this also but not as much as you do because I use flowcode a bit longer. I think the matrix team is doing there best to keep the information flowing but you have to understand that this is not there only job in the company. Howe...
