A minor visual bug...

Add an signed or unsigned int property to panel - this is shown as Z or Z+ - however the property is actually 32 bit. So should be shown as L or L+. I had to test whether the variable was 32 bit (which I needed) or 16bit....

Have you tested on hardware or in simulation?

Tested on hardware (Arduino mega) - result was 32 bit.

Martin

Could you give an example?
A Flowcode project to demonstrate the issue?
Thanks

How many bits does 'test' have Z implies 16....

Another visual glitch - component groups lose their description if the window is resized using the maximize/minimize button - though they recover if resizing by dragging the window. How many is lost depends on how small the window goes...

Hi Martin,

That screenshot is in Flowcode, not on hardware... I agree it would be better to limit the size for values to 16 bit on display, but I am still curious what happens if you use this variable on hardware. My money is on it being 16 bit...

Best regards,

Jac

Yes - the problem is in FC...

The actual value is 32 bit (on hardware) which is correct - it's just the mismatch of using Z for 16 bit values in variables and 32bit values in properties..

Yes you're correct the icon appears to be wrong there.

Interestingly the constants does it a bit better but still not 100% correct. An int is shown as a long and a byte as an int.
Maybe we can default to the Long icons rather than the Int icons for the signed/unsigned integer property types?
