It works now - thank you so much. I was overthinking things.

Decimal conversion to Hex value to load a PLL

Hi,

As an example, I am trying to convert decimal 1075 to hex to load the N counter of a PLL (MC145170).
I know that 0x433 or 0x0433 loaded in manually works.
How do I convert 1075 decimal to 0x433? Can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Would appreciate if someone could help. Thanks.

Using EEPROM on PIC causes compile error.

Hello, I am having difficulty using the EEPROM on a PIC16F882 which has 128 bytes of flash storage on Flowcode 9. I keep getting compile errors no matter what I try. I have used EEPROM storage just fine when using Flowcode 5 in the past. eeprom read example.png See attached snapshot. Any ideas what ...

Re: V9 Compiler no longer working

Thanks Ben, it's now working. I found that somehow the compiler options had switched - during a Win 10 update maybe? I'm using a PIC18F4620 which is an 8-bit device which needs the 8-bit toolchain as you stated. I had to remove the -L in the PICkit 3 programming window as it was causing an error. Ve...

V9 Compiler no longer working

Last week all was OK. Today it does not compile. I removed FC9 and re-installed - still no luck. I was using MPLAB 5.35 and now have installed 5.45. It says PIC toolchain not installed, even after I ran the install program (Flowcode_Compiler_PICv2). Attached is a printout of my compiler options. I a...

Re: Serial receive using PIC18F4620 not working

Following up... I managed to get the data transmit working OK in Flowcode V5, but not in V9. I suspect a bug unless there is something overlooked. Two identical programs were written using V5 and V9 to transmit the Char 52 to turn on a relay. I could not load the V5 program here but have included th...

Serial receive using PIC18F4620 not working

Hi, In the past I have had no issues sending/receiving to smaller PIC micros using Flowcode but I'm having no luck with the EUSART in the PIC18F4620 when trying to receive a single byte char. Nothing is received. There must be some small detail I'm overlooking. I wrote a simple program to try to fig...

Binary to BCD conversion

I have to convert an unsigned 8-bit binary value to BCD.

There is the 'Double-Dabble' method, but I cannot figure out how to do this in Flowcode.

Does anyone have an idea how to do this? Thanks.

Double colon operator

Going from Flowcode V5 to V9 - some questions (I can't find any answers on the forum)...

What does the double colon operator signify?

Do FCVs exist in V9?

In the conversion from V5 to V9, I keep seeing v5_ in front of certain functions. Is this a 'translation' from V5 to V9?
