Hello, monie.
Have you had a look at the examples on the wiki?
On the 2D panel, right-click and select Help
A window will open and you will see some example projects.

Hi Monie,

Here's a modified example to get you started,

dsPIC_BL0032_GPS.fcfx
(14.06 KiB) Downloaded 557 times

Click board on Port D, display board on Port BL.

Hopefully should work well for you.

If you're getting nothing out the module then you could try driving pin D7 (reset) high and checking the default baud for the module matches the component baud of 9600.

Hi BenR

I have not been able to reply to your post until now, as the FORUM and the entire Flowcode website have been shut down.

But your suggestion works fine for me. I also discovered that the cable for the GPS Antenna was defective.

But when using another GPS antenna, your Flowcode coder works very well fine.

Thank you very much for the help:-)


Yours sincerely

Hi Monie,

Please can you follow Chipfriers great advice and if you are having problems getting it to work then please can you attach your project file so we can see what you have tried and maybe suggest things to try.

BL0032 doesn't need a programmer port and so it is greayed out, when you click compile to chip it calls on the mLoader software packaged with Flowcode. For it to work you do need to have the USB drivers installed.

I've resized your panel components a bit for v10 and noticed that the connections for the GPS and the Keypad might not be correct.

Please can you go into the component properties and just check they look ok.
