EBLOCKS 2 Arduino shield bl0055 not reading inputs

[dhinson_wcg]

Hi all
I have an issue with Flowcode and Eblocks 2 . Flow code in simulation only and debugger works perfectly. Flow code compiles to target fine . once compiled push switches etc are not read and the inputs are high regardless of switch presses . outputs however are fine leds , lcds etc work ok
Drivers seem ok
For Reference this is the arduino shield Bl0055 , on ports B and D, also tried Analogue port C in desperation with no luck.
the arduino driver seems fine , the usb is connected to a com port ok , i've tried various settings of Bl0055 and arduino uno R3 PDIP in both new project and Project options
any help would be great

Please post your project and someone will have a look.

i've enclosed project showing the problem , this affects all or machines using flow code
thank you for your attention

Hi,

Try using the component macro calls for the componets you are using,

hi thanks ive tried that but ill certainly give it another go

Hello.
D0 and D1 are used for serial communication.
They are hardwired to the Rx and TX of an ATMEGA16U2 via 1K resistors,
The boot loader will enable the UART by default, which takes over D0 & D1
For that reason, D0 and D1 will remain high.
Can you try changing D0 to D2?

I have also tried your project with A0 as the input and it's working for me.

thanks Martin i will try this tonight , although i did try reading the whole port a few times , ill give the c port a try too
and thanks for the prompt reply

Thanks Martin
that seems to work fine , switches on Port C , Led's on D port and ignore D0,D1
phew

You're welcome.
It does look like you can use D0 and D1 as outputs if required, just not inputs.
