ACX7xx!

Post by jgu1 »

Hi!

Is it possible to implement or use Jordy´s ACX7xx component from here: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=12785&p=51809&hilit=acs#p51809
in FC8, and if possible how, please?

Hello jgu1
Please have a look at John's Crow project
http://www.matrixtsl.com/mmforums/viewt ... lit=acs712
Pay attention at ACS712_datasheet: Sensitivity vs sensed current.

Hi Victor!

Thank´s Victor. I know John´s example and I have used it earlier and it work fine. Later Jordy create a component directly for ACX7xx in FC6
so my thought, maybe it could be used in FC8 too.

Hello,

The component should work fine in v8 unless it contains C code specific to the v6 compilers.

Either drop the component .fcpx file into your "C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\Components" directory or

Create an additional components directory by adding the folder path to the View -> Global Options -> Locations -> Look for components in... menu.

Hi Ben!

I try:
Create an additional components directory by adding the folder path to the View -> Global Options Work fine :wink:

Is it not the most correctly to place it in the component folder :
"C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\Components" directory together with other component?

But I can´t find this directory. I remember it is a "hidden" directory, how can I find it, Please?

Hello Jorgen

I checked the:
C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\Components
No problems. Found it.

Any admin rights problems?

The easiest way to gain access is to paste the path directly into the file exporer address bar (without quotes).

"C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\Components"

To be able to see the ProgramData folder it depends on your version of Windows, in Win10 file explorer you click the View tab and then Options -> Change Folder and Search options.

Then in the View tab enable the Show hidden files and folders radio button. Note this may then show things like system files which then makes it possible to try and delete or edit them which may break or effect your system.

I always as a rule come in here and untick the "Hide extensions for known file types" option.
