Hi I've just obtained a SIM7600 module. Not had a chance to play with it yet but I hope to do so in the near future and will post how I get on. I'll probably try to update ThingSpeak as my first play. Although I will post in the v10 forum, I expect the code will work fine for previous versions as it...

Hi Attached is my v8 file (and Hex) In LUT properties I changed the first few values to be 0-10 with 1000 being last. I changed your custom timer to be Timer1 running at approx 1Hz, included a Count variable (start at 0) and LUT based on Count value. It cyces through displaying the expected LUT valu...

Hi In your "Out" chart in earlier post:- In the LUT properties you have a facility to enter the values. These count from 0. I set it to have the first ten values as 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9............ with the last one 1000. I disabled your C-block that sets values. I changed your Timer1 inter...

Hi Not an expert in "C" which is why I use Flowcode <s> I'm guessing that the issue is to do with the "C" commands used. Is there any reason you cannot use the FC components to do as you wish, even just to test? I did notice that in your LUT component properties you have set &quo...

Hi Locals (e.g. .x) are used within the macro itself and nowhere else. If you had Macro-1 / Macro-2 / Macro-3 each of them could use a variable called .x only avaiable within that macro itself. Useful to save space. Global variables are available throughout your program. If you assign a value to &qu...

Hi

Can you attache your chart?

Hi

I like pointlessly over complicated ideas for simple things as long as the reason for doing so is "because you can"

Hi

Apparantly as long as it is "edible" dye you can paint it pretty much anything you like... but not sure how happy the cat would be though Still as their vision is sifted slightly higher to our own maybe a nice red wouldn't be noticed as much

Regards

Hi

The colour is a good idea, but I'm not letting my girlfriend hear about this as she will take it as an excuse to spray our cat some funky colour. Probably something glow-in-the-dark coz Halloween is near...

Hi There are differing doors available and I think the "tunnel" type would probably be be better suited, as it contricts the pet's position so may be easier to read any tagging device. You may also be able to wrap many turns of wire around tunnel to assist in detection. Cats collars typica...

Hi I usually do look in on the "old forums" as do many others, however I'm travelling just now so access is limited. Viktor offered some good advice that I can't really offer more on, but maybe if you shared why you need the extra range then maybe someone can assist further. Anti-theft tag...

Hi

For those reading the above, the following link may be of help regarding SPI Slave using Arduino.

Hi

Not been able to have a look yet, but hope to tonight.

Hi If you download the file Jorgen kindly shared in a previous post https://www.matrixtsl.com/mmforums/viewtopic.php?p=100454#p100454 and then change the target to your 877A you will be well on the way. You will need to reassign a couple of pins (but not many). I've no access to hardware at present ...

Hi

If you post your chart we can have a look.

Regards

Hi Have you tried to convert it yourself? Flowcode is chip independent so it is usually quite easy to port from one device to another, assuming the new target is capable (RAM/ROM/Ports/Peripherals/Speed etc). If you go to Build and select the 877A as your new target you may get warnings about port p...

Hi

Sorry to hear you are unwell. I hope you get better soon..

Hi Have a look at the attached file Echo_Test Echo_Test.fcfx In this chart we still flash the LED in the Main loop, but we also use the UART and an Interrupt. The purpose of this chart is for you to connect your PC to the chip as before (Tx-Rx / Rx-Tx) and then using Terminal, whatever you type in T...

Hi Excellent :) Take note of how you connected everything together, connections, settings, everything. Do note that although you are using Terminal Com Port 3 just now, this may change when you next insert the adapter, or use another USB port on your PC. Next we can look at sending from your PC to t...

Hi Looking at your screenshot you are doing well. This is exactly as I'd expect as you are sending from chip and it is being received by the Terminal program. All is good :) :) Next I'd suggest you modify the SendString command to instead of sending "U" it sends "U\r\n" You shoul...

Hi I can well understand your frustrations but you are very close to getting things to work to don't give up. Don't try and jump in at the deep end straight away. Instead work through each step. I am quite sure from your previous tests that the esp8266 module is working and your traces showed that t...

Hi Windows automatically found and installed drivers on W7 / 8.1 / 10 and 11. Rollback could be a good idea. I'm not sure why you wish to focus on obtaining the Firmware version on an LCD as there is a LOT of information to capture and display. I see zero need for this as you have already confirmed ...

Hi I'm not sure I understand what you mean by deleting the program but driver is still there. Were you attempting to delete the driver? It is better to not insert both adapters at the same time until you are sure both are good and can differentiate between them. Many times Windows get hung up with t...

Hi I would double check you are actually on Com1. Clicking the arrow beside will give you all options. Once you are sure you have selected the correct Com, click on Connect. Then whatever you type in Area 3 should appear in Area 1. If you type in area 2 it won't be sent until you click the "sen...

Hi Did you do a loop test? Plug your adapter in to your PC loop the Tx to Rx Open Terminal Select correct Com Port Connect Type in anything and you should see it appear on your screen. If not then try another Com port until you find it. Once you can do the above, connect the Rx pin to your 328P Rega...
