Re: 4Dsystems displays

Hi Ben,

Thanks for the info.

Just looked at the demo video,it's a really powerful little display. Will you be using the GFX or the SGC version?

Best regards

4Dsystems displays

Hi Ben,

I recall in an earlier post that you made reference to a 4Dsystems display device. Appreciate if you could provide me with the part number/model pls. I am looking to purchase a larger display than the EB-057 and would like to ensure that it will be compatible with V5.

many thanks

re ICD and EEprom issue

Thanks Ben, You where spot on with the clue on the EEPROM location, ADDR 0 does not store data in my example, disPIC30F3012. Moved to ADDR location 1 and problem solved. :D Is this a bug, do you know what the cause of this behaviour? As for the ICD, pins (all of port B) are used by the hardware appl...

Re: Flowkit

Thanks Ben,

Your guess was correct, I'm using address location zero.. The code appears to be ok as it simulates fine.....will try an alternate location.

As with ICD, thanks for the clues, Will investigate further and come back to you...

IDC and EB – 064

Hi Ben, I am currently using an EB – 064 working with dsPIC 30F3012, using the latest version of dsPIC flow code software. I was attempting to do some debugging on the hardware around the EEPROM, read/write function and I don't seem to be able to write to the EEPROM i.e. the value does not get store...

Re: float2int

Thanks Ben, 0) when you were referring to future revisions, am I up to date with both ARM and dsPIC? I did check via the FC application for updates and it did respond with no updates available? 1) am I correct in undersatnding that ARM and dsPIC you can simply make float equal integer or integer equ...

Flowkit

Hi MM Team,

Does Flowkit work with:

1) ECIO-40P

2) ECIO-ARM40P

3)dsPIC/PIC24 via EB-064

Is there any other way of using ICD mode and Flowcode without flowkit?

many thanks
