Thanks for the replies. I'll check out the Vdrive2. If there is no component, Benj, how would one go about doing this? Any pointers or would it be better to wait for FC7?

Hi guys,

I have designed a small data logger that works great with an SD card. I was thinking that it might be quite nice if I could log the data directly to a USB memory stick. Has anyone tried this? Any ideas? It it possible with FC6?

Thanks

Hi guys,

Is there any way of extracting the number of a call to a GSM module. The component to extract the number from an incoming SMS works well for an SMS, but I'm trying to get the number of an incoming call. Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi Benj, I am using the PIC18F46K22 and all seems to work well. The problem comes in when I try and use the DS1307 component that Jordy posted a while back. It communicates via I2C so maybe that is where the issue is? My program doesn't use PWM so I can't confirm whether that's a problem at this sta...

Version 6.1.2 re-installed and all is working 100% again.

Hi medlec, The compliler compiles the flow code successfully and I program the PIC with the generated .hex file successfully. Tye PIC hangs at the point that it uses the DS1307 component in the software. The software before the 1307 component runs fine (LCD, LED's etc all work as advertised up until...

Hi Benj, I am having an issue with 6.1.3, but the issue is with the DS1307 component that Jordy posted some time back. It works geat with 6.1.2. It compiles with "success" in 6.1.3 but when I try and run it on my PIC, then the PIC hangs. Exact same software and hardware, only difference is 6.1.2 and...

Hi,

Is it possible to go back to the previous version of FC6?

Thanks

Hi there, I have been using the DS1307 component that Jordy develped a while back with great success....until the latest upgrade of flowcode V6. Now the software doesnt work anymore. If I complile the exact same Flowcode with the latest update of FC6 then the software hangs at the DS1307 component. ...

Thanks Benji,

I'll give that a go.

Hi there,

I have a $tring that I need to save into EEPROM on a PIC. How would one go about doing this? The EEPROM 8 bit and the string is 20 charaters long. I know how to do this for long numbers, but not quite sure what format to store the string in EEPROM.

Hi, I am looking to connect a PIC18F4550 to the USB port of a Windows based PC. Is there a step by step guide to doing this. The hardware is sorted, and the software in the PIC is done. I'm using the USB serial component to send bytes to the computer to be read in and used in the PC to make some dec...

I use PIC18F series clocked at 20MHz. The exact same hardware reads the temp 100% with FC5, but not with FC6.

Hi guys,

What's the latest views on using FC6 with windows 10? Anyone had a good/bad experience they'd like to share.

Thanks

The 18B20 temp sensor does not work with FC6. Works fine with FC5, but not FC6. There is a timing problem with the macro. I have asked the guys at MM to have a look at it numerous times, but alas...still nothing.

The one wire component for the DS18B20 temp sensor that works 100% in flowcode 5 does not work in flowcode 6 with a PIC. If I change the xtal freq then I can get it to work. It seems to be a timing issue within the fowcode 6 macro. Any chance of looking into this?

I've posted some more info regarding the strange behaviour of the BS18B20 with FC6. I've posted two youtube videos, 1 with FC5 and 1 with FC6. Hardware and all other variables are the same. The only difference is one is written with FC5 and the other with FC6. Anyone have any ideas how to get these ...

Hi there, Ive been trying to get the DS18B20 to work with FC6 (for PIC 18F) for quite some time but no joy. The timing of the macro is incorrect (My opinion) for this particular sensor. It works fine with FC5 but unfortunately FC6 it doesn't. Benj did say that he was going to have a look at the comp...

Hi Benj,

Have you managed to make any progress on the one wire component to get the ds18b20 working with fc6?

Thanks Benj,

Will be appreciated.

Hi, I have got mine working BUT...I had enter 16MHz clock speed into Flowcode but actually have a 20MHz crystal connected to the PIC. Now I get a stable temp reading. So I think that the timing of the macro is incorrect for the DS18B20. Unfortunately this is not really a solution because the temp re...

Sounds like the FC6 macro timing is not correct for the DS18B20? Might be correct for one of the other sensors in the family. The sad thing is that the flow code 5 works 100%. I'm going to try and get it to work manually....

Thanks for the feedback Benj. will give it a go when it's released.

Does anyone know what the difference between the FC5 and FC6 component macros is for the temp sensor DS18B20. When I use FC5 it works great. When I use the exact same sequence of component macros from FC6 then it doesn't work. Hardware doesn't change and config's all identical. I know there are diff...

Hi Benj and team,

My computer is offering me an upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10. Has FC6 been tested on Windows 10 or should I hang on a while before upgrading?

Thanks
