Re: 'Exclude From Build' options for build error debug

In a way, you can mimic this using a global constant let's call DEBUG and then in each macro have a code block at the start with #ifdef DEBUG And sat the end of the macro #endif The problem might be that the macro will call other macros - dsi knocking out one actually might mean a while chain of mac...

Re: Advertencia de posible desbordamiento de pila (stack overflow) al usar interrupciones en PIC16F876A

Interrupt routines should (always) be short and as quick as possible - usually not calling other macros, but certainly not calling things such as displaying data. If your interrupt is something like: time=time+1 If time = 405 Flag = true time=0 Then it is probably not the source of the issue. Do you...

Re: PIC16F18877 Drag and Drop board. Programming made easy

Let us know how it goes. Just looking - for the second use case you'll need to change the default destination (on my machine it is k:\ ) t he code still has a backup folder (I modified some 'backup' code) The board is neat - having just fried several chips - I like USB power solutions more and more....

Re: Max7219 dot matrix 8x8

Hopefully it works for you now. You'll need to set osccon for your required clock etc. You might need to adjust the speed in properties too - if FOsc/4 doesn't work try FOsc/16 - I found the displays are quite sensitive to the quality of the wiring - use short good quality jumpers if breadboarding t...

Re: Max7219 dot matrix 8x8

Are you setting the pins in properties (including CS) MAX7219.jpg This should run through some demo routines... I used the 18f252 but should work with others if they sufficient RAM - it uses 8 bytes for each of 16 displays (max allowed as far as I remember) Note also that it doesn't do anything in s...

Re: ESP32 Bluetooth HID possible?

... And yes, it would be good if others contributed more - and keep a more dynamic conversation going rather than getting an answer and then disappearing....

Not sure how to encourage that though - maybe small prizes for 'project of the month' ?

Re: ESP32 Bluetooth HID possible?

Blushing slightly - and I agree with Steve, there is a good community and people will help where possible. It's one of the strengths of flowcode is having a friendly / helpful user base. Steve, Ben and Martin do a great job (one place I worked the boss shouted 'Tell him I died' when one customer ran...

Re: Max7219 dot matrix 8x8

Can you post the code you tried? I only looked at one MCU - but the 18f252 should have plenty of RAM. What issue are you getting. Won't compile, or it doesn't work on hardware?

Re: ESP32 Bluetooth HID possible?

I've experimented a bit - I've tried to get an esp32 connected to a bicycle radar (Garmin). - it's possible although I used mostly c from one of the espressif example files. It then used a callback function to respond to messages received. Time pressure meant I never quite got where I wanted (a hand...
