Hi, The consoles are proving very useful within App Dev, I have UART and Circ Buffer console tabs. Is it currently possilbe to have a user defined console, much like I can place a breakpoint for bedugging. So I could insert a 'Console' request at a given point in the FC and during simulation all dat...

Great info, thanks Steve. Whilst I dont commericalise lots of our projects, certainly there are situations when I have to hit a clients deadline and prompt support from all (matrix and Users) who contribute to the forum is very much appreciated. Certainly keeping the knowledge as widly available as ...

Hi,
I upgraded our pro FC package and the required tool chains. I noted something called 'Pro Support' but have not seen anything describing what this is or covers? Just interested, the forum support is excellent but always nice to know what the extra £150 bought. J.

All input appreciated. Great, yes that totally make sense. The UART transmitter does not determine how the bytes are interpreted, the Reciving device does. If it handles everything as ASCII then I must bend to its will and send character values rather than pure byte values. As a non coder ( mechanic...

Thanks Martin, To Clarify.. if I want to send a number over UART, I can only send it as a text based string. Thus for 255 send multiple bytes "2" "5" "5". In terms of bandwodith cost, Instead of a single byte of data I need to send three bytes of data? I cannot reliably send lower vlaue bytes as the...

I think I've caught myself out! I'm sending Byte values from a PIC using UART, values 0-255, These are recieved by Flowcode App Dev. But should I be using the sendChar, Send Number or Send String macros? If I sendChar 0 ( which I accept is ASCII Null) I dont seem to get anything at the other end? I ...

Hi, With SCADA, several devices have a API for slave mode, these facilitate a fixed command and responce method. For the ECIO40P I think the commands ": 0x80 0x01 0x01 ;n " would set output channel 1 (A1) to logic 1. ": 0x81 0x06 ;n" requests the digital state of input channel 6 (B0) , The Input is ...

Hi,
I downloaded the machines examples. those gave really good examples of what can be achieved as a front end. They are in a compiled format so I can see the result but not how they are achieved? Is there a sample of the source .fcsx file?
J.

Thanks Ben, I'll have a play. J.

to explain the sending of strings.. If I wanted a fairly generic SCADA monitoring program that could work across several PIC projects, I was thinking I might initially send from the PIC a sequence of strings , these would need to be the names of each value1, value2, value3 etc... The recieving SCADA...
