The component only seems to work with the compatibility mode.
The other modes are interesting too though - I'll try and add something to the board so I can easily switch the connection at r19 and play some more....

I wrote a very simple program - that sends a trigger and then waits for a return pulse. It measures this using a loop with a 58us delay - and the results look reasonable. Note that the sensor has a minimum range of ~20cm and results go awry below this. The code here also has no time out - so if a re...

The component 'attempts' to add an extra delay - delay 'type' but this is just 20us - the delay before the output pulse (on the board I have anyway) is 12.4ms

So it always 'time outs' the response.

Wired up the sensor to an Arduino - and got 9999 (error). R19 open (mode 1 HCSR04 compatible) I added a connection to a logic analyser - and the output from the sensor looks good - there is a 'trigger' pulse - followed by an output pulse of variable length (depending on distance) However - the outpu...

The protocol does depend on the value of the link R19 - so check that?

I just got one of these in a AliExpress assortment - so will have a play....

Edit the file pic_xc8_comp.bat (notepad will do). Add the extra option (--output=mcof) to the line as above (about half way down the file)

Take a backup (of the file) before saving...

Yes - thanks Steve - that does seem to work! To add: find the file pic_xc8_comp.bat (in C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV11\FCD\PIC\batch (or V10 if you are on v10)) Change the 'new compiler call' to : @REM New compiler call - allowing for additional parameters "%MX_COMPILER%bin\xc8.exe" ...

Testing the -gcoff option - it produced a file 'coff'. I'm not sure if renaming this proj.cof would do the trick - it does contain data (human readable) - but don't think it is a .cof file?

I'll try the -gcoff option - see if that does the trick...
