SCADA Arduino UNO component

Just trying to load a project that uses the Arduino Uno SCADA component.
On loading the project I get an 'operation is taking a long time to complete' error - and on choosing yes or no - flowcode 'eventually' closes.

This also occurs on adding the component to an empty flowchart (the 'Mega' equivalent works AOK) - after a long (10mins) wait the 2d panel had appeared but FC is unresponsive.
Not sure if this has had an upgrade lately??

Hi Martin
The UNO SCADA component had an upgrade ,Did you do an update on your FC . ?
There is an issue sometimes when placing the SCADA UNO Component FC crash but then closing it and redo it normally solve the issue for me
I am working with this new SCADA component
(1) remove the old component from the FC chart then close it
(2) open up and place a new Component on the panel
(3) if happens as show below close and reopen and try again normally it works

Thanks Peter,
Unfortunately I can't open the program to remove the SCADA component. Might try v8?
Will see if 'downgrading' the component before loading helps too..
Might have to use notepad and work the xml ;-(

Hi Martin,
That's odd that the recent update has broken the Arduino API.
Are you able to share the the App developer Flowchart, so I can see if I can spot the issue with the component ?

HI Martin,
Yes - it's peculiar. There is no flowchart as such to demonstrate - just adding the component to an empty chart causes the problem..

I have made a new Embedded & App Developer flowchart with Arduino API component and they both open for me OK:

Can you post one of your new flowcharts that don't open for you?

For the old flowchart you want to open, try this:
Open flowchart with a text editor.
Search for SCADA_Ard_Uno1
The line you want starts with
Go along the line and if
then change it to

Hi Martin
Can you confirm your running the latest 9.1 release and also have done a full database check for updates. There has been a lot of change with these components recently.
Also you will need the component to be on the 2d panel. It shouldn't let you add it to the 3d panel. Though it shouldn't cause the problems you described if it were on the 3d panel in a loaded project.

Thanks Ben,
Full update seems to have done the trick...
