Hello
I was looking at the starburst display and I tried the demo program, it compiled to C ok but compile to hex brings up this error.

StarburstTest.c: FCD_0f441_LED_Starburst1__ShowCharacter()
410: case '\':
^ (226) char const too long
411: {
^ (320) ":" expected
(908) exit status = 1
(908) exit status = 1

I'm using FC7
Thanks for any help

Many thanks for letting us know. I have now found the cause of the problem and will have it fixed for you very soon.

Hello,

Please can you try this and hopefully it should solve the problem for you.

Simply copy the attached file into your "Flowcode 7/Components" folder and restart Flowcode to load the changes.
Let us know how you get on.

Thanks very much, I didn't expect such great service and have it looked into so quickly.

It all loads to the microcontroller fine now.

I was using a different chip and had assigned different outputs to the segments, I tested all the segments out for crossed wires with a little
test program and all came on in the expected order. I then tried the Matrix test program using the new segment assignments but the display was completely scrambled, I suppose changing the outputs to the segments is not a good idea.
I am only experimenting with it. Thanks again.
