I have a flowcode 3 program that runs fine on a 16F88 processor. It uses (lowest 3 bits of) port A for digital output, port B as digital input (simple pushbuttion E-block for instance) Since I wanted another version that would allow more data to be output during operation for status monitoring, I de...

Sometimes the solution is so easy (always in hindsight however). I declared the value against which the counter was compared in the loop as integer. In one of the macro's were a countloop was used, I did not declare the actual counter as an integer but as a byte, as in the existing flowcode 2 versio...

Thanks for the advice, I am sure the two loop approach would solve my immediate issue (I thought about implementing such a solution, but with the availibility of integers in FC V3 that seemed unneccessary, the integer is such a more elegant solution, and we seem to agree it should work, so let's mak...

Hi, I was a simple counting up loop in a flowcode version 2 program using as countmaximum a variable that was like everything else a byte, so it couldn't have a larger value than 255. worked fine, also under version 3, but .... The number of times I wanted to go through the counting routine before t...

Hi, I bought an "update" to flowcode professional V3. Installed it from the CD, looked OK to me. I started up, loaded an fcf file that had been compiling and downloading to a PIC 16F88 without any problem under v2 and than.... Flowcode starts a "pre-processor" and I see some dots...

Hi, hope someone can give me som help on this: I have a prgogram that contains a macro that's quite elaborate. I do need another macro within that same program that's quite similar to the first one. First thing I tried was to save (export) the macro with a different name. Upon import however, flowco...

Hi there, I'm developing an application where it would be neccessary that if power is turned off and on again after that, the application returns to the state it was in before the mains shut off. I use a 16F88 PIC, from the datasheet I learned that there's an EEPROM area available that could be used...

Hi there, I have an application in mind requiring me to read in three analogue channels as basis to calculate a response. I am using the PIC16F88 for this. So far, I have been experimenting with the Eblocks programmer, the experimenter board and flowcode prof. I've managed to read the value of a pot...

Hi Ian, Thanks for your helpful insight into the hardware configuration of the Eblocks programmer board and the consequences for using the 16F88 with this board. What remains is a sense that apparently Eblocks and Flowcode are not as integrated a design tool as I figured. If I take the F88 tut1 from...

Hi there, I have a newbee question regarding Eblocks operation with a pic 16F88, hope someone can help me? After first installing everything and running some flowcode tutorials, everything seemed OK. At some point however, I noticed that the A port of the picmicro did not function as it should, the ...
