Hi Benj,

I've done some tests. A timer increment (Timer0, Timer1, Timer2) with output to an LED array works without problems.
An output of a loop increment or timer increment on PWM leads to the error message with the crash of FC6.

Hi Benj, thanks for the quick reply. How should I enable the component, if I just copy the file into the component directory, I can not select the switcharray on inputs. The problem with the crash also occurs if I just use a loop increment insteed of the timer. I need the program for a shuttle train...

Hi, I upgraded recently to version 6 and wanted to import a V5 project. Then after some time also works, but come when compiling three errors that were not in V5. Once I need a macro within a timer interrupt repeatedly enabled / disabled, this will appear as a compiler warning. Then I have 3 switch ...

Hi, I used in the tests a number of different delays in order to implement the transfer. I think that it depends also on the clock frequency that the timer can run shorter. I used 2 PIC18F2680 with 4MHz clock frequency and the settings in the macros easily. Maybe shorten the settings for the timer a...

Hi Creative25, I think that the two controllers are functional, as both have a master synchronous serial port. You only need to define master and slave fix, a multi-master environment does not work with these macros. It's best to load the progam change the processor type and compile everything. If c...

Hi Cobra, I2C is best understood when you read the I2C charts of the controller. There specified exactly how the process is done. The interrupt will remain inactive until the transfer has been completed (I2C stop). The Tmp variable is added for 2 reasons: for the buffer to empty and to prevent timin...

Thanks for the quick response! I'll wait for the batch.

Hello to the team,

I use Flowcode V5 and work with PIC16F88, PIC16F876 and PIC 18F2680. Now I have the problem that I can't write the controller internal EEPROM. In the simulation at each memory address the value is 0. Can someone help me please?

Greetings, Tiny

My first project was a shuttle train for a garden railway. Of the electronics to the layout itself created. Then the programming code with flow routines for PWM controllers, switches and control Mehrzugkontrolle, everything works perfectly. Flowcode is a joy to work. I enclose the flowcode project a...

Hello Benj,

Thanks for your quick response!

I already use global variables and arrays, but I wanted to leave the variables in the macros that are used there.
I2C VNet would have been nice but not absolutely necessary.

Hello, I have 2 questions.
1: If it is possible to define more than 10 variables in a macro?
2: why can not establish a VNet I2C connection?

I work with Flowcode 4.3 and need for my project more than 30 macros and in some macros more than 10 variables.

Regards, Christina

Looks like the problem after the update on 4.3 if "override language" is not active. There I had the same error messages,

Hi Mathy, I have built up an easy circuit with timer 0 and timer 1 and have tested in each case for PIC16F876 and PIC18F2680. Also functions with repeated one program easily. Then I have changed your program on a PIC18F2680 and have programmed several times alternately with the timer program, also w...

OK, I had a timer problem also with timer 1 under Flowcode 3, defined as own Interrupt. There the same problem appeared and at that time I have found no solution. I had changed the program routine on timer 0 and had built up the macro with several routines. Maybe can help here Benj or Steve.

Flowcode 3 and Flowcode 4 work under Windows 7 absolutely easily.

On the Konfiguration page the Master Clear is disabled. This configuration brings the problem, that you can one time program the chip, the second programming faild. Set the Master Clear to enabled and I think this works fine.

Thank you Steve, the tip works well!

I have deinstalled the version 4.3 and installed the version 4.2 newly. Safeguarding FCD files changed perhaps before. I can continue to work on my projects with that.

Is it possible that these problem at the OCX files lies? The registry entry CurrentLanguage is empty also at the version 4.2 and there is no problem there.

I work with Win 7, 32 Bit, registry value CurrentLanguage is empty, registry value CurrentProfile is FlowcodeV4. I have any projects with LEDs, Switches, ADC, PWM.

I have installed the update to flowcode 4.3, now I can't load my projects was created with Flowcode 4.2, there are always error messages. In a new project, very many components function no longer.
Please help.

If somebody has interest, I have created a Master-Slave communication between 2 PIC-Micros. Configured for PIC18F2680, goes for all PICs with HW-I2C.

Hello Benj, thanks for your reply. I have programmed more than 20 years ago in assembler language. I have already got the files from Microchip. I hope that I come with c-code and asm-code and the registers of the MCU to a result.

Hi, have any an idea, how i can programming an PIC as I2C Slave? I need one Master and 5 Slaves. I use PIC16F876 and PIC18F2680, for CAN over SPI I have not enough Pins free. Please help!!!

I use PIC Micro 18F2680 with CAN-Ports. I need a connection between 4 PICs. Now I have programmed a simple CAN communication with Flowcode 4, but on the CAN port come no signal, the signal comes on SPI port and the program routine hang in CAN Init for a long time. Is the CAN function in Flowcode onl...
