Pin input simulation stimulus or Pulse Train

[miggarcbs]

Hi

I have Flowcode 6 professional with PIC chip pack.

How can I generate an automatic pin stimulus or pulse train, including
time interval between pulses, time delay to the first pulse?

Hi
not sure if you mean a pulse in responce to an input or just a set of pulses on an output
Quickest way would be to add a pmw component, or you could even add a macro so it alternatively switched on and off the output using delays
another way would be to add a vr to an adc channel, add a variable called say First_Pulse_delay , then add a delay component link the variable to the component etc.

Have a go with flowcode and then post your chart here when you get stuck and users will suggest ways to cure the issues etc.

Hi

Thanks for your answer but I was talking about PIN INPUT SIMULATION STIMULUS OR PULSE TRAIN,
including time interval between pulses, time delay to the first pulse?

I have just changed the title to reflect this idea.

What is wrong with my flowcode flowchart? ?

Id be glad to have this kind Component, as I have been playing around with one old ebespächer heater and it has error output in 0.8s to 8 seconds pulses... Would be great to have preprogrammed simulated input component that needs no human interaction to test out some codes that the heater can output without me trying to flip on screen switch accurately... (You could do this by vnet, but wasn't it obsoleted?)

Hi EtsDriver

When I was randomly viewing the forum I saw a possible way to create pin input stimulus automatically.
As long as I understood, there are windows software (and possibly for other OS) to automatically pulse a keyboard keys.
By mapping Flowcode to "read" selected key(s), we can pulse consecutively input pins.

I really don't understand (and don't even accept) an advanced software like Flowcode not having a component
to accomplish this so important task (as all we know it is in version 6 and has nothing to do this).

Anyway, the possible solution/alternative I was talking about is here:

I did not tested it as I need to calmly analyse the indicated procedure to fully
understand how it works exactly.

If you have success with it please inform me about the steps you took, in a short, practical description.
