Hi Ben and Leigh For what it is worth......I checked the Flowcode 6 and AVR compiler on my DELL desktop computer this morning, when compiling a program to HEX it worked first time. So the problem was with my laptop which is a LENOVO Core 3i make and this was the problem all along and not your compil...

Hi Ben and Leigh EUREKA....................!!!!!!!!!!!!! The program is now working properly!!! After uninstalling the Flowcode 6 program and creating a new FC6INST folder in C: as Ben suggested, I installed the program into this folder and activated it. I copied the TEST5.fcfx file into a folder ca...

Hi Ben I have created a new folder with the shortest path in C: with the name FC, saved the new TEST5.fcfx into this folder and it gives me exactly the same ERROR. The registry file NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation is still at 0. This is driving me nuts...... :D Could it be something to do with the oper...

Hi Ben and Leigh Have had my computer checked out by a professional programmer to ascertain what the problem is concerning the AVR Hex file creation issue. All the files that the AVR compiler requires as per the message file are present in the path which it creates (See TEST4.msg attachment above) e...

Hi Ben and Leigh I will ask my friend to check out my problem as this is slightly over my head as far as experience with this type of thing is concerned. He does programming on a daily basis and will understand fully what you guys have suggested for the fix. Will inform you of what he has found and ...

Hi Leigh I opened a CMD box and changed the DIR's one by one to get to batchfiles, I then entered the following: C:\Program Files\Flowcode 6\compilers\avr\batchfiles\>cd\Program Files\Flowcode 6\compilers\avr\batchfiles\avra and ENTER the batchfile ran and the CMD box closed. There is something prev...

Hi Ben

I just opened the TEST4.msg file and saw that the compiler was actually searching for a TEST4.elf file and not the TEST4.fcfx file..!!

Why would the compiler change the file extension to ".elf" ?

Hi Ben I tried both fixes as per your FAQ posting but had no joy, the following was how I did the "Easy way": (1) I edited the NtfsDisabled8dot3NameCreation file to read value: 0 It was originally at 2 (2) I copied the FC6 installer program and pasted it in my Documents folder under: "...

Hi to all, I purchased the AVR chip pack license for Flowcode 6 today as I would like to try my hand at using an Arduino board for some of my projects, but am experiencing compiler problems. I have tried this link: https://www.matrixtsl.com/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=1&id=69&artlan...

Hi Ben and Martin Thanks for your advice with my project, it is greatly appreciated. I have modified the flowchart to include the C code Ben and have changed the frequency to 8Mhz. Martin I have changed the voltage divider resistors as advised. Reprogrammed the chip and all is well............great ...

Hello, I have tried my hand at designing a solar charge controller based on the 0-15V voltmeter that Martin (Medelec) posted to the forum, I have tweaked certain formulas to obtain certain readings to make it work on 24V, however, I am experiencing some difficulties mainly due to inexperience and am...

Hi Martin

Thanks for the help, sorry for only getting back to you now, was quite busy this side.
I understand what you are suggesting, will try and play around with it to get a grasp on the concept.

Much appreciated.

Hi guys I have downloaded the interrupt counter example from the Matrix website and am trying to fathom out how to be able to adapt this program to use on an anemometer? I merely would like to know at a certain wind speed what the number of revolutions the rotor head is making which I can compare wi...

Thanks Ben

Hi Ben Have received 2 TRX433S transceiver modules. Looking at the properties of the SRF component I see that the Tx and Rx pins are automatically selected according to the PIC chosen. Does this mean that the SDI pin of the radio module becomes the Rx pin and also the SDO the Tx?? Which is the ENABL...

Hi guys

Before I get entangled with this 433Mhz RF data transfer project, can anyone shed some light as to which component is used for this? I seem to think from what I read that it is the "SRF" component but am not sure.

Thanks for your help.

Good day to all, I have purchased an ESP8266EX module from Olimex to try and create an emergency call button for an elderly person that cannot afford to pay monthly fees for such a service. Having never worked with such wifi modules before, I would like to know whether anyone has done something like...

Hi Ben Have opened up my RC transmitter and found that the trim slider merely adjusts the potentiometer's angular position relative to the joystick lever. I was under the impression that it was an additional pot linked to the main one for trimming purposes. Thanks anyway for offering to help. Regard...

Thanks for your help Ben, that was one thing that I did not try!!

Much appreciated

Hi to all I have made a flowchart using the 4 segment LED display and I can get this circuit to work, however, when I use the single LED display x 2, I cannot get the temp reading to display properly. The switching between the two segments seems to have a problem when using the single display? Where...

Good day to all I have created a flowchart for the control of 6 channels for RC servo motors from the Example servo component, am trying to create my own RC transmitter and receiver units. The flowchart has 4 servos which operate with joysticks such as store bought units, the other 2 channels are fo...

Thanks for the help Ben,

Will check the results when I have received my chips.

Hi Ben Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated. The reason that I am not using the ECIO-40 module is because I need to incorporate this design into another project for a customer, so I need to keep size and price to a minimum. Will get hold of a few samples of the PIC18F14K50 chip and try the...
