Re: Component Macro Documentation

Hi Ben, We're using EBlocks2 and Flowcode as beginners in Microcontroller programming for a college course. Whilst it's true that I'm an Engineer and I do understand different ADC voltage references, sampling times and frequencies, we can't expect students who are new to microcontrollers to know thi...

Re: Grove Ultrasonic Ranger and Timer Issue

Yes, I have the same problem and I spent over 2 hours on it before reading this. The thread seems to have gone quiet - is there a workaround or can a different timer be used with Arduino Uno R3 PDIP? I want to use 'ping' and time the measurement. We spent good money on EBlocks2 & Flowcode!

Re: Component Macro Documentation

Hi Ben, Sorry it's taken so long to reply - I don't get chance to look at this every day. The ADC seems to be able to read a full 10 bits as I get 0 to 1023 with Arduino IDE. I'm using A0 (C0) on Arduino Uno R3 (PDIP). Here are both sets of code:- Ex10-3_Analog_EPROM_POT_10 bit.fcfx Pot-Read.zip Bes...

Component Macro Documentation

Hi, I've started using the Grove Rotary Angle Sensor (Potentiometer) as per Exercise 10 (p 83) in the "Introduction to Microcontroller Programming" EBlocks2 / Flowcode course. This is my first attempt to use Arduino Uno R3's A0 analogue input (on BL0055). It seems quite a leap from the 6 example exa...

Re: Installation

Thanks Steve, Thanks Martin, I have to say I wonder if the users are using different PCs to before (i.e. different windows accounts) ... or were you refering to flowcode accounts? I see the arduino driver zip file has contents dated 2015 but it doesn't say which file should be selected to install fo...

Installation

We have a number of laptop PCs with FlowCode v9 but a few users have said they had issues with toolchains. They installed AVR Toolchain (to use with Arduino Shield BL0055) and programmed the boards. However, when they next use Flowcode (a few days later), it says the toolchains aren't installed. Mos...

Re: Activating a new Flowcode licence

Me too!

Well, I don't get the numbers problem but I am told my key has been used even though it doesn't show and FC9 won't let me activate. The activation server seemed to time out so I suspect the webpage and decided the key has been used but the server hasn't used it.
