ADC (CAL)

[Brendan]

Hi guys.

Creating code from scratch in FC9...

In FC8, I can simply enable ADC (CAL) in FC8 and it picks up the parameters from the properties table.

Enabling the same ADC component in FC9 requires re-entry of specific binary values (?).

Thanks,
Brendan

Hi, Brendan.
The CAL is used when calling ADC from within a different component.
I would expect the values to be entered within the CAL enable macro, rather than properties.
For example you won't know what channel is selected to that has to be within the macro.
If you want the values to be picked up by the properties then you will need the standard ADC component rather than the CAL.

I can simply enable ADC (CAL) in FC8 and it picks up the parameters from the properties table.

When I select enable from within FC8:

Thank you Martin for your early reply.

My confusion arises from different FC9 behaviour when enabling what appears to be the same ADC component in FC8 (albeit "Raw Enable"). Rightly or wrongly, I recall using this in the past within the main flow, before extracting readings from the enabled ADC channel (FC8 example below).

Best regards,
Brendan

Hello,

I think there are two components here, one is ADC Base and this is what you used in v8. Then there is ADC CAL which is lower level but is what you are using in v9.

The ADC Base component should also be in v9 but probably hidden unless you search for it. I'll check it hasn't been renamed.

Ahh... Thanks Ben, that answers my mistake and confusion !

Thanks for clearing this up,
