Re: Differece between V5 and V8 program

Thank you for replying so quick, Do you also have warnings when compiling like - Caution: Delay inaccurrate: 'delay_us', Delay overhead:0.01ms, Unit delay:0.001ms, Delay resolution:4 units? Depending on your clock speed you may not be able to get the small delays required. E.g 3 uS delay could reall...

Differece between V5 and V8 program

Hi all, i just upgraded to version 8 and realized that V5 flowcharts could not be imported in V8. So i made the same V8 flowchart by simply making a new one icon by icon and so on. But after compiling i noticed that i had to reduce a delay component by roughly 7 times for achieving the same result. ...

Sorry, pulsewidth should be 2.8 msec.

Thank you for flowchart, it works indeed. Changing value of OFF changes width of ignitionpulse. Value of 255 gives a pulse of 2.8 usec. But wen looking at lampoutput it is difficult to see any difference in the intensity. Now i'm trying to make the pulse longer using a switch on RA0 but sofar withou...

Jim, i did what you suggested but no change. Please could you give me some directions to get the triac to do what it is supposed to do ? Indeed it is fun to work with flowcode and i hope to get the hang of it soon or at least to begin to understand.some basics. There is another thing, the zerocross ...

After taking a closer look with 2 channels i discovered 2 things. 1. What i mentioned earlier about zerocross pulwidth of a few usec is not true. This is 450 usec. 2. The PIC is just pulsing 8 pulses during this zerocross pulse and those are about 50 micros long each. The last pulse occures just aft...

Hi Jim, Thank you for the support. wrote the flowchart and after a while i finally got it working. I made some mistakes like placing the "loop while" at begin instead of at the end of loop and some other mistakes. I have every zero cross 7 pulses of 50 us each so for the duration of 400 us...

Thank you all for thinking with me. I quiet understand what you all say but making a flowchart and get it to work is a different story. About zerocrossdetection ik ok, i rectified the secondary of supply transformer and fed it to RB0 through a few transistors. Tne square pulse is about 10 usec and 5...

lightdimmer

I would like to make a lightcontrol device using flowcode. Maybe to begin with an automatic fade in fade out dimmer with dipswitch on Port A for different speeds ? Has anyone done that already ? I would like to use RB0 as zerocross detection. I'm new in this so any help would be appreciated. Target ...
