Counting Beyond 32767

[medelec35]

Any number greater than 32767 does not show correct number on LCD display
Even if Uint (0 to 65535) or Ulong (0 to 4294967295) variables are used.

Here are two flowcharts.
One counts from 0 to 99999
the other counts from 99999 to 0

Using this method with some modifications,the maximum number can go way beyond 99999 if required.

Hi Martin,
Thank you very much sir Martin for his precious help.
All the best!

Hi Martin,
It is interesting to memorize as if power is interrupted, it to return to counting from where it remained and not from the beginning.
Thank you in advance!

Try this Flowchart.
It will write to EEPROM every time seconds are updated.
Therefore seconds from 99999 to 1 are stored in EEPROM

You don't want to keep updating EEPROM with 0 since EEPROM has a writing time of 1,000,000 operations.

Hi Martin,

I'm quite interested to see the coding of how to store bigger numbers in EEPROM. Do you have this in a version that I can view with Flowcode 4?

Thanks.

Hi

Here is Martin's code in Figure format...you can make that in FCv4.
