Hi Dirk, It's complaining that the app partition isn't large enough (though if all you are doing is initialising the WiFi and BT I would be surprised that this is the case) You will need to define a custom partition table - and point to that using menuconfig - allocating more memory to the applicati...

Yes - I would agree. For any 'serious' stuff (work) then OEM is best. However, for something intended as an interesting programming exercise (play) - then £2.50 is easier to swallow than £75. Usually for dev work someone else is paying for the kit :-) I've found quality to be pretty good generally -...

I think I'll order some ht16k33 displays as a gateway device. They are much cheaper - and perhaps more hobbyist friendly - they don't have the built in character set - but that's a very minor drawback. Not sure if Flowcode's starburst display covers this? Then when that's working it should be easy e...

Hi Andreas, I think the forum rules forbid advertising / selling... The MAX695x chips look interesting and should be relatively easy to get working, I'd also like to play with the radio chips - having the multi-band capability is much more interesting than just FM - and I see some variants support w...

And there is always something new to learn

Keep playing - and practicing - Flowcode is a great environment to do it in!

Yes - world events rather put paid to things - and the £4.50 in sales didn't cover the hosting costs
I still have the components I did - (somewhere) - I can post them. What are you interested in particularly?

Martin

Okay - a simple example that toggles a pin (set in properties - I used RD0) - every 1s - on a PIC16F18877 running on internal oscillator at 32MHz. One of the problems with timer interrupts is generating exact times - and AI is definitely your friend here - I used Gemini to calculate the values to lo...

An interrupt is easier to use for real times tasks - doing things in a loop with delays gets much more complicated as the task gets harder - imagine flashing two (or more) LEDs at different intervals for example... The mistake most commonly made it trying to do too much on the interrupt handler (ISR...

Let us know....

I thought - ResetAlarm - should return the alarm that was set?

It would (of course) be better integrated into the component!

Martin

Hi Pierre, I added an AlarmReset and SetMinuteAlarm to my DS3231 temperature component. It would be nice to have a more general SetAlarm(time (& date)) function.... Also - in the test program - I would probably sleep the MCU rather than busy waiting for the alarm to occur. I used an interrupt (o...
