Re: Dc voltmeter 0-55v

transformer looks quite good, if you make another one you need to remove the surface rust from the laminates.

Re: DIGITAL POT CONTROLLED WITH ENCODER

hi Silvestros599 Cannot look at your flowcode files at the moment unfortunaltley i would check that each test file works on its own. Did the pot work correctly ? are you using the control pins or SPI ? I made a LCD contrast adjust with a digital pot a while ago, https://www.matrixtsl.com/mmforums/vi...

Hi Derrihj, Looks like a nice project, looking at the title of your flowcode project name. "Battery Charge Cut Out" Are you cutting off the DC charge current ? or using to offer "deep Discharge protection" of your batteries ?

Re: PCB layout and schematic software

Just had a look,

Looks like freecad can import eagle .brd files but the freecad forums have mixed reviews about importing eagle .brd files and the success rate
might have a go later when I have more time.

Re: Possable PWM Issue ?

Hi Leigh,

Had a quick play at the weekend, didn't have much time. Still not working yet
Did notice that PWM2 is mappable between 2 pins how do you change this ? in control the panel

Do you have to use the "APFCON Register code" . do I just use a c code icon before the PWM enable ?

Re: ACS712 component doing wrong

Hi Tadz

When using AC these type of sensors will output a AC Waveform
one option is by using a "precision rectifier" and a small capacitor to convert this to DC then the standard ADC component can read the value

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precision_rectifier

Hope this helps
