Re: Is my gsm EB066 card defective?
Hi, I would recommend that you set up the GSM card on a TTL (5volt) rs232 port that you know works... Perhaps a PC with a terminal program would be the simplest option.. From memory you need 9600 - 8 -N -1 config... One you get this set up then use basic AT commands to test your GSM card... Download...

Re: Looking for advice: Temp and Humidity
Hi Peter, I would give your signee units a go... They have both analogue and digital inputs that can interface with your sensors...if you have the advance versions containing a co processor you can run Python scripts to gather and process data... For now to get started, all you need to do is send by...

Re: Flowcode and GSM module
That should work, if you have access to a CRO then you could confirm the peak to peak voltage of the waveform...just to be sure Matrix have a gsm board... Look down further in your student tutorial notes it references flowcode 5 and the Matrix gsm eblock EB066..you can buy it online... http://www.ma...

Re: Access Violation Error and then Flowcode crashes
Hi Ben,
added 10ms post the cursor macro... seems to be very stable.... 2ms was not quite enough...
I have added the delay as a variable to the project so I can set it it to zero when i do the final compile to the MIAC
thanks for sorting this... much appreciated

Thanks Ben,
I can confirm that I'm using quite a few cursor location macros... Will add the delay and see if it fixes the issue...

SDHC card filename
Hello,
A quick question. Is it possible to set the filename time and date info?... Using create file sets the file create time and date to a date in 1989.
Thanks
Pete

ECIO40P16 - Channel 2 SPI bus
Hi Ben, Hope you're well! I have been using the ECIO40P16 – what a great little chip! Really like the way you can remap pins/ports, certainly makes hardware design much easier. I'm not sure, but I think I've found a configuration bug in the properties for the SPI bus selection, particularly channel ...
