Hello, this error occurred after upgrading. What should I do，
In the first few days, after reporting to WS8211, I sent the file you posted on the forum（
https://www.flowcode.co.uk/forums/downl ... p?id=10494 ）I copied and pasted it into% ProgramData% \ MatrixTSL \ FlowcodeV10 \ Components, and encountered the error after upgrading today. What should I do? Acknowledgments

The upgrade is proceeding normally, but when adding the ws8211 component after the upgrade, the above error message appears

After deleting LEDw_S2811.fcpx and upgrading it again, the error shown in the above diagram still occurs。

Hi niedian
Many thanks for the spot.
I can replicate the issue, so I have attached an updated version for you to try.
Browse to this location using file explorer , it's hidden by default so just paste the link into your address bar.
Code: Select all
%ProgramData%\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV10\Components
Place the attached component.
If Flowcode is already open, then you will need to reload your project for the new component to work
If you run any component updates, then the component you added will be overwritten, so it will stop working again (unless the component update has been pushed).

That's great, your welcome
Thanks for letting me know.
I will make sure the updated version goes to the component database.

Hi
Please reread Martin's post of above. He will work on having the fix published. Meanwhile, until it is published, if you update then you will revert back to the non working version.
If you download Martin's "fix" as per above, then the chart will work again.
It takes time for your fix to become "live", so to speak.
Regards
