A new core update to Flowcode v9 has been released which fixes a few bugs and adds support for our new BL0058 ESP E-Block.
Most users will be asked to install this update when Flowcode is launched. If you are not offered the update, please ensure "Check for core updates on launch" is ticked in the "Application" tab of Flowcode's Global Settings and then restart Flowcode.
This v9.3 release includes the following major changes to the core files since v9.2:
Cosmetic pin names with spaces now work by ignoring text after space for their variable name
IOC interrupt pins are now disabled by default
Fixed display of chip (for selecting IOC pins) in dark theme
Charts in deployed App Developer apps can show and export graph data via right-click menu
String initialisers and constants now work correctly in simulation
Global variables within components are now initialised when simulation starts
Added Ghost support for BL0058 ESP E-Blocks upstream board
BL0058 ESP E-Block added to list of free targets
In resize mode, components on panels are moved unless appropriate 'handle' is not dragged
Fixed crash (deadlock issue) when programmatically changing the type of the 2d shape component
Fixed a bug with free version icon limits
Macro lists on ribbon now correctly update when a new macro is created via the interrupt dialog
Added message to say that enabling the 3d panel orthographic mode is temporary
Fixed a bug with rubber-band selection of components on panels
Filenames with non-Latin characters now opened correctly from command line (NOTE: this requires full reinstallation using the main download link)
Please reply to this thread if you have any problems installing this update.
Thanks for the update. Unfortunately it has had a neg affect on my program. using a 2004 display there are strange characters appearing, three pushbuttons no longer work and it has stopped me developing beyond the first stage of a menu system that i had developed and which has been working great for some months.
I'm using windows 11 in case that affects anything.
**Update - just reverted to my old laptop with windows 10 and its the same
Can you please share your program or at least give me some screenshots so I can see what's going on. If you don't want to publicly share, send me via PM.
Have you also updated the library files? I know a few issues with the buttons that also require a fix to the components.
And if you can isolate any problems and present a simple replicable project then it is much easier for me to try to fix.
There is an issue using CAL SPI where the properties (Prescaler here) are promoted to the panel properties.
This is 'fixable' if you have the source and can go into the CAL_SPI properties but not if you don't (in components for example)
A simple example - import CAL SPI in an Arduino program (cal spi 1) - I've promoted Prescale to the panel properties - then convert to ESP 32 (saved as cal spi 2) then change back to Arduino (3) - Prescale in panel properties still has 80MHz etc
The CAL_SPI properties are correct (fosc/4 etc) - but the 'promoted' property seems 'stuck'
Not sure this is a new issue to 9.3?
Though only way I've found to fix is to delete the property in the panel properties and then promote to top level again from CAL_SPI (but this only works if you have the source - doesn't work for components - some XML editing might be in order?)
