Hi Ben

The MCP356x1 is a nice 24Bit Ad converter.
The AD converter is working perfect with FC11

I recorded two signals using different oversampling settings. At 32, the noise is higher, but there are no steps in the signal.
with 512 unfortunately, it's reversed but not better.

It would be convenient for me if I could read and set all the registers.

Some I2C components have a read/write command in Flowcode;
perhaps this could also be added for some other SPI components?

The same signal recorded twice with different OSR values and saved in two files Oversampling 32...512

Hi Stefan,

Glad it's working well for you.

This might be the perfect opportunity to show you how to modify a component to better suit your needs.

If you go to the Wiki page for the component then near the bottom of the page should be a section called component source.
https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wiki/index.p ... log_Input)

Download the component source project and open in Flowcode. I try and keep the source files up to date but if you notice one that's different from the exported public version then let me know.

The Read/Write registers command in most cases for I2C or SPI components will already exist, all you need to do is to make them public.

You can simply do this via the File -> Export -> Edit the export settings -> Interface tab. Changing the macro you want to become available to downloadable.

You can also browse through how the Read/Write macro is used in the component code to gain an understanding of how you need to handle it in your own code.

Of course if you think a change needs to be public and available for everyone then please let us know.

Typically on the MCP356X component, it wasn't this easy. The read/write macro was using a buffer that was internal to the component. So here I've done the macro change for you and modified the component so the read/write macro is now passed a buffer allowing both you and the component to work with your own unique buffers. It also hopefully is slightly more efficient on RAM usage this way. Note the first byte of the buffer is retained for the command code / address so any data you want to read/write will begin on byte index 1.

Hi Ben

Very good
I already understand how to view, edit, and use the components.
I have a question about the properties in the components.
Do I have to view and edit them with a text editor, or is there another way?

Hi Ben

Sorry, that was my fault. I didn't notice it.
