EB083 Port A

[chipfryer27]

Hi

Dug out an old project that uses EB1 hardware and worked fine, programmer and EB083 combo board. In the chart I enter a loop and wait until the button on Port A/2 is pressed. All good.

In v10 the component macro associated with reading EB083 Port A appears to have a bug. It doesn't detect the buttons being pressed. If I add in a button component allocated to the same pin (A/2) it works fine when the EB083 button is pressed.

Port B has the display and it's fine.

Hi Iain.
Thank you for the report.
Would you like to try the attached component?
If it works for your project then it will be added to the component database.

Hi Martin

I put the file in Programdata/MatrixTSL/Flowcodev10/Components.

Compiles OK but I still cant read from PortA (bank 0) using GetSwitchState

If I use the GetPort command I can detect button press.

Hi Iain.
My apologies, I uploaded the wrong file.
Attached should be the updated version.

Hi Martin

No change

That is odd as it's working for me.

Hi

Just to be clear, I'm using v10 with an EB006-30-9 programmer and EB083 combo. It's not to hand so I think it's the EB083.

It's only v10 that has an issue.

I opened up a previous (v8) chart in v10, made a couple of changes and had the issues described. With the new component, I deleted the existing combo then re-placed it, then recompiled but the problem remains.

I'll try creating a new chart with the new component when I'm next beside it.

PS
It's in hardware, not tried simulation.

Just tried in Sim, it works. Doesn't using a 16F1939 in the programmer/combo

Hi.
I have just tried using EB083 & EB006 with 16F1937 and the hardware is working as expected.
The only thing I have spotted with Flowcode simulation is the background of the quad 7seg component was invisible, so I have just sorted that out.

Good morning Chipfrier,

Would you mind sending us your project and generated .C file so we can investigate further.

Hi Ben

Further info

Previously I was using my laptop running W8.1 with FCv8, 9 and 10 for the tests, results as above.

Today, using my W10 machine running FC10 I get a different result when using Martin's component.

I'm using a EB006-00-09 and an EB083-00-1 with a 16F1939 installed.

I created a new chart. This prints out blah blah on display then loops until Port A/2 is pressed. During the loop it displays the value of the variable used to read the switch. First time I included that.

In simulation the board suggests a key has been pressed but no value is returned.

In hardware looping around I get a value of 56 displyed which would indicate Port A2-A5 are pressed (they are not). Pressing any button makes no difference to the value. A0-A1 are set as digital and crystal is on A6-A7.

Pressing the buttons on the board illuminates the associated LEDs.
