Re: PIC16F as i2C Slave - Begineer

OK, so I have gone back to check the basics. Great info from Martin but I'm not attempting the Interupt approach yet, until I can understand the possible issue with the standard i2C Slave component. If I use the FC i2C Slave component to retrive the SSP1STAT register and put it in variable i2C_Statu...

Re: PIC16F as i2C Slave - Begineer

Hi, I've been trawling the datasheets and trying to examine the C from the i2C slave component. I've probably just got confused. A) The PIC16F15324 used does have a dedicated i2C periferal with slave support, I would love to use the interupt driven features at some point but I am currently just tryi...

Component to Read and Write to Registers

Hi, A component to help reading and writing to your microcontrollers Registers. Read both whole byte or mask for specific bits. Write to whole byte or to specific bits. I know this is simple stuff once you know how but not something I do regularley and so have to check how to do this correctly each ...

Re: MCP3008 Analog Expanders

Hi Martin,
thanks, the MCP offer the 8 channel at 10 bits I think, the others currently supported are 4 channel.
They all kind of do the same thing but some suit certain projects better than others.
thanks, J.

PIC16F as i2C Slave - Begineer

Hi, Use a PIC16F15324 as an I2C slave in FC10 Current project has some tricky little tasks that need constant attension, this is a sledgehammer approach but I'm thinking about using the feature rich but small PIC16F15324 to do the dedicated work and just read the data out over i2C with the main PIC1...

HOLTEK HT16K33 Driving 7 Seven segment

Hi, There is a existing component for the Holtek HT16K33. It is for driving grid arrays of LEDs but it can be used with Seven Segment displays. If anyone else want to achieve this using the existing component this may help. Rows - These drive the individual segments. Columns - These select which seg...

HOLTEK HT16K33 - seven 7 segment features

Hi FC Team, The HOLTEK HT16K33 has an existing component in FC for controlling LED grid arrays. Could this component be updated to allow easy use with common Seven Segment Displays? This Chip seems to be very common as a backpack for driving 7 segment digit arrays. https://www.adafruit.com/product/8...

MCP3008 Analog Expanders

Hi, This is frankly me just being a bit lazy and I have used these with FC already but a well supported Component for them would be be very handy to many. Unless other good alteratives are already supported. MCP3008 - SPI, Easy way to add 8x 10bit Analoge channels to your project. MCP3004 is 4 chann...

Re: Seven Segment Driver ICs - What is the best?

Hi,
so the HT16K33 looks like a good route to investiagte. I see the FC components has been setup for dot matrix style displays. I guess it would need tweaking to suit a standard 7 segment.
I'll have a read of the datasheet and see how lost i get! J.

Seven Segment Driver ICs - What is the best?

Hi, Yet another possible customer project, unusally they actually have a sensible budget. Driver IC for Seven segment displays. What is considered the preffered driver chip ? I see there are a few varients already supported by flowcode components. Just looking for Numbers 0-9 and it will be sets of ...
