Hi!

I can confirm, a really good component Martin made for us, I still do projects with it for friends. Question for Martin, I understand you have made an update, pin connection, will this have any effect on my previous projects if I have to change something in these with the new Component macro, please :)

Thank´s in advance

Br jorgen

Hi Jorgen,

I never found out how to do an 'unconnected' properly - so you might need to set MISO to an unused pin for things to compile. I think there is an option to allow 'unconnected' - and as MISO isn't really used anywhere it would be better if it didn't need it to be assigned.

Hello!!! Could you please tell me how to install the MAX7219_v9 macro for Flowcode 10 under Atmega328P? During compilation I get the error C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV10\FCD\AVR\batchfiles\avra.bat reported error code 0x1
And also there is no component itself in the 2D or 3D simulation panel. I'm a beginner so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Sorry for the English, I work through a translator. Best regards, Victor.

Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Hi,

Installing the component is fairly straightforward - copy the '.fcpx' to a location (have a folder for components) - and point FC to this (build->customise->locations->look for components in). Add it to your code (you'll need to close / reopen FC)...

There is, however, no simulation / 2d / 3d panel presence - I wrote it a while ago and didn't know how to do this :-(

Not sure what therr from avra.bat is - have you set the com port etc?

Hello! Could you please tell me, in the free version 10, I won't be able to add a component Max7219_v9.fcpx in the flowcode?

Hello.
The other way is to select File > Global Settings... > Locations tab > Look for components in...

Looks like it's there... Right at the bottom of the list - select and hopefully good to go...

Yes, thank you, the link is at the bottom, but a simple code for clarity at compile time produces this error. Maybe someone has a simple code and can share it for clarity to be able to see how it works?
