thank you for your help!

I have changed the clock speed to 4mhz, the delay now works!!

Further to the above, the clk out on the pic measured at 1mhz, i thought it should be 1/4 of the osc?
my project options were: 16F690, internal RC clock out, 20mhz clock speed, no watch dog, programmer port n/a.
any help is appreciated.

Hi Ben, i have found changing the parameters does not work, it failed to initialize.
I tried compiling to HEX, using the MPLABX IPE v5.50. it programmed the pic as far as correctly assigning ports but didn't program the delay function.
osc, timer ? Any advice?
would changing the Pickit 3 to pickit 4 ...

I cannot compile to a pic 16F690.
the error message is:
Compilation successful!

Is there a timer component in Flowcode v6? If so, how to access it and if not, can I download it? Thank you!

I still haven't been able to compile to arduino nano (flowcode v6) with the RC5 component included in the flow chart. Could it be the clock speeds?
many thanks

The RC5 component does not seem to work with Arduino uno or nano.
Is there an update?
