thanks Steve, do I need to do anything with PPP in terms of config?

Also... can you advise your timeframe for cleaning this bunch of issues up?

Hi Team, Have just received my parcel of goodies from matirx, one of which was FCv4 for dsPIC. 1) first issue is that I cant licence the product. Jayne has passed on my PM to David to sought out for me. 2) Auto detect in the chip config screen does not work... respose is that the usb cable is not co...

Hi Ben, Thanks for the update. Attached is the datasheet link for the display driver ssd1355 from Solomon Systech for those who may be interested. http://www.datasheetarchive.com/SSD1355*-datasheet.html. I did not post the file as it was approx 1.5mb .pdf. Also not sure of the copyright rules ( if a...

Hi Ben, Many thanks for this info. It is exactly what is was looking for... :D attached is the outcome of your handy work Ben....simple but effective :mrgreen: Is there a specification sheet for the gLCD component. I think its a FVP-oled-19001? really appreciated the fast response on the font data. ...

Thanks Ben and John for your responses. I have since found then help file on the gLCD...whilst it gave me the transparency and font selection information, I did not see the information on the custom character.. Did I miss it or not look in the right place? I saw the check box for custom fonts in the...

Thanks Ben, Transparency was the key ingredient.. I am keen to get a data sheet on the gLCD block as I would like to understand 1) transparency settings 2) font types and sizes 3) how to get symbols on the screen for example a degree symbol. Using alt-0176 whilst it prints on the screen in flow code...

Hi team, I am working with an EB0057/EB058 combination. The project is very simple, i have an angular sensor which outputs an analogue voltage. This voltage is sampled by an analogue input on a PIC creating a range of 0 to 1023. Conversion to degrees is done with some simple math with the output pri...

Many thanks John,

Appreciate the fast response...

All the best

Hi John,

Great article.

I noticed your custom 4line display. Any chance you could provide detail on the hardware and also the V4 flow code component that you used to drive the display.

Many thanks

Pete

Hi Ben, I have an EB006 board Rev.7. it has the SMD component ( or did) on the back of the connector. On further inspection one side of the component has detached from the pin and the component lead has sheared off at the case making it impossible to re attach. I suspect that this component is a dio...

Hi Ben,

I am using a MIAC and TMR0 interrupt. Have attempted to use flowkit to debug code and could not understand why it did not work properly...

Appreciate if you could publish the workaround....

Any Idea when the next rev of Flowcode 4 will be available?

Thanks

All the best

Pete

Thank you for the response.. Will try the safe mode option.

Best regards

Gentlemen, Can you confirm by the messages that the server is communicating with the client? Given the configuration of the server and the clients on the same machine does the communication go via the ip port to the router and return or go via the ip software stack on the local machine? Thanks in ad...

:cry: Ok, thanks fot the clarification. I have followed the instructions and have entered different client names with the same VNET.. I have tried this on a different machine windows Vista, and Windows 7 with the same result.. The only thing now that is common is the router Not sure what's left... A...

Thanks steve, To confirm your point re "instances" you are referring to the client name and network?....or the actual instance of the application....if it's the application (flow code programmes) you are referring to then where do you change the name? I suspected the firewall initially and definitel...

Hi Ben,

If you leave the chip overnight, it then functions normally. After 15mins approx it then stops working and can't I'd the chip etc...

Can't help but think it must have something to do with config...I have been using the EB006 and 18F877A for ages with no issue. Clock perhaps?

Hi David,

If you look at my earlier post it shows that server is running and ip and port numbers are correct

I turned off the local machine firewall...

No change!

Does the traffic go via the router?

Can you look at the debug trace pls, really interested in the error messages..

Thanks

Pete

Hi Ben, Will check the router...it's odd that client can see the server app and does display the node details from the first instance of FC4. it just wil not connect... Maybe it's a different class of traffic? Also turned off the firewall on the local machine..no change..Move it to another machine w...

Hi Ben,
Its FC4 v 4.3.7.63.

Checked the links all ok..

When I plugged the new chip in it worked for a short while then exhibited the same behavior... It's almost like the chip has corrupted it self..

Will try the 20sec down time tomorrow and get back to you

Thanks again

Hey Ben, Sorry however i have another one for you... I have migrated to 18F4455 silicon and have been figuring out the config. Using the EB006-00-07 s the programmer with FC4. I started with the 1sec flasher routine to get the config right. It worked the first time .. ok. I then added the next LED t...

thanks Ben,

i went thru this today...thats where I got the test routines and your word doc...

I have a feeling it something to do with my environment...

The comms shold be limited to the loacl machine should it not... and not require a port to be opened on my router firewall?

Pete

no problem... many thanks for the quick response

I should have read it more carefully for shouting for help... sorry to waste your time

Thanks Ben much appreciated... will give it a go...

do i have to do something similar with SDI?

Hey Ben, I am seeking your asistance with a problem on VNET. basically i can not get the two instances to connect to the server and get an error whilst attempting RS232 simulation as per your previosly posted examples. I go thru the sequecne of creating the node and network on flowcode V4 instance o...

Hi Ben, to make it easier thought I would start up a specific topic around the question that I posted (and you kindly responded to) last night. Quote below: Re: SPI Master by Benj » Tue Mar 01, 2011 11:25 am Hello Pete, The Flowcode I2C component allows you to use it in hardware or software mode. Th...
