OK, all sorted, rebooted the laptop and the LED's are there??? Dont know what to say???

Thanks Martin, I'll go through this later. I have however got a strange one for you. When I opened you attachment this morning and ran the circuit all went 100% OK. However, when I open the attachment now the two LED's are missing?? I've tried opening the attachment a few times with the same result....

Thanks, I think the best thing for me is to print it out and go throught it.

Thanks again - John

Thanks very much. Could I ask you how the following works.

If I have an analogue signal that rises and falls between say 0 and 9V and I want a schmidt trigger action at say 6 V, how does one go about that?

Thanks again - John

Hello again Martin and thanks for helping out again. I've looked at the course and will go into it more deeply soon. I am expecting a period of being confined to the bed due to bad back problems. I've also saved the other programs from the previous posts so I'll have time to study them then. Getting...

Hi Folks, I've attached a circuit I built not too long ago. The purpose of this circuit is simply to light a LED when a shadow falls onthe sensor which is a light dependent resister. The problem is I cannot easily control how long the LED stays on. I'm wondering if somebody out there could show me h...

A really big thanks to you guys. Its been great knowing that there are guys like you out there willing to impart your knoweledge and give your time, not to mention patience. Thanks for the other programs so I can learn and play around further. I'm going to play around for a while and see what I can ...

OK, I only got JP5 linked not the others. I'll do that shortly. However, I opened up the PICKit2 program and switched on the VDD and hey presto the LEDS are flashing away just like I expected them to. However, I've noticed that when I run the Flowcode simulation on the laptop, it is not synchronised...

Hi Martin, that's the report I get so all seems sorted on the programming side. Thanks for that. I'm just going to make double sure I have connected the right LEDs to the right port etc so I dont make a further fool of myself. I'll do that tonight and get back to you. Really do appreciate your help....

OK, when I right click on the attachment you sent me, I get another box which only has a General tab, nothing else. In this tab it says that the file is a Microsoft Picture It! Document?? Does this sound right?? What I did do was manage to save the attachment to my desktop and it now has no problems...

Hi Martin, I did the repair thing on flowcode file but its made no difference. When I double click your attachment it still automatically reverts to Adobe.

Could I ask you this, is this the sort of problem I will encounter everytime I use Flowcode with PICkit2 or is it a case of setting up?

OK, I found a way through the ADOBE message to select a program to open the file. I've gone as far as using FLOWCODE and then another windows opens with a V5 file in it. When I click on it, I'm given a further 7 files to click on?? Whick one???? Autodoc CAL Components FCD GFX Help Tools Can I use on...

I meant to say I'm using WINDOWS VISTA 32 bit if that is of any help.

Sorry guys, tried opening the attachment by right clicking and then looking for "open file with" and there is no such option. What do I do now??

Thanks guys - John

Thanks guys, I appreciate your time and patience. I'll have ti try all this tomorrow and will keep you updated.

Thanks again - John

Hi Martin, thanks for the help. I tried opening the file but Adobe says its not a supported file or the file is damaged?? Also, what do I do with the file, do I copy and paste it into where I got it from and then delete the original file??? Am I correct in saying that I must bridge the link JP5 for ...

Thanks Martin, I think I have found the file you talk about so I'll try and upload it now for Enamul to look out. Maybe you can as well and see where I have gone wrong, its gotta be me being new at this etc.

Anyway, thnaks for your time guys I'll try and upload the file now....

Thanks Enamul, here goes..................

Seems to be a problem, I get a message saying "The extension 001 is not allowed"? The 001 is after the file extension and for some reason I cannot edit it out.
It wont let me manually type in the file name either??

Hi, can you tell me which file I must attach. Ive got files ending in the following extensions; .asm .c .casm .cof .fcf .hex .Ist .map .msg .obj .stat .tree

I have not a clue what they mean or the one you need. Thanks again for your time. JDR04

Thanks Enamul, it appears to have worked.

However, when I simulate the circuit it does not simulate it on the low pin count board.ie the leds do not flash as per the program.

Its just a simple program to flash two LEDs on and off. Thanks again -JDR04

Hi Folks, 2 weeks ago I didnt know what a Microcontroller was. Thanks to Flowcode5 I having some fun and learning slowly. When trying to program my chip I get the "No cable connected" and also "Device not recognised". I'm using a PICkit 2 programmer connected to the Low Pin Count board. I have the s...
