Flowcode Support Board

Hello Martin, hello Ben,

anny news about the PIC18F04/05/06/14/15/16Q41 family?
As as already written, it is very urgent for some of my company's
products!

thanks
Dirk

Hi Dirk.
UART, PWM and interrupts work well.
There is an issue with I2C so you will need to use I2C in SW mode.
Have you tried using 18F15Q41?

Hello Martin,

yes, but there are 2 error messages. I have used the uart as midiinterface. Is that a problem?

::: error: (1504) the PIC18 extended instruction set was enabled but is not supported by this compiler
(908) exit status = 1

Error returned from [xc8.exe]

And,
I can't compile without midi components. I have extendet cpu disabled!

In the simulation the components work!

Hi Dirk, before I will investigate,
Can you Run component updates but change Files in-use to Full database.
Then reload your project and try again.
If you still have an issue then can you attach your project .fcf and . c files.

Hello Martin,

here is my test project. An update has yielded nothing.

Thank you
Dirk

Hi Dirk.
I have moved some of the latests posts to the general sections as was hijacking Suggestions for new microcontroller support section.

Can you try the attached.
PWM is working for me.

Hi Dirk.
Ben has sorted the SPI for q41 devices.
I2C still needs to be software mode.
PWM, Timers, UART and interrupts work.
Anything else?

Hi Dirk.

Unfortunately there is an error message.

::: error: (1504) the PIC18 extended instruction set was enabled but is not supported by this compiler

Where can I switch it on and off? Where can I switch it on and off? I have not switched it on. And can I expect
the PIC18F04/05/06 - 14/15/16Q41 family to be ready soon?

Thanks

Dirk

I will See if I can sort this issue on Monday, when I am next at work

Hi Dirk.
Configuration setting should now be working well.
The fdcx updates have now been push on to the database and are available to download via Help >Library Updates. Change Files in-use to Full database.

Hi Martin,

with UART, PWM and i2c software the compiler now runs without errors.
Is i2c software slower if only data is sent and when will i2c hardware be ready?

many thanks
Dirk
