Hi John, Thaks for the info but mine still says "Home Version" and a lot of the components are not licensed. I really appreciate the fact that you took the time to try to answer me but I'm still stuck. Unfortunatly I can't say the same of thre matrixmultimedia team. :roll: Maybe they to bu...

Hi David,
Hi upgraded my v6.0.9 pro to v6.1.1.0 (22.01.2015) and now flow code changed from pro version to home version and I lost the licence to most of the components.
What do I have to do?

Thanks Nicolas, Thanks Jac. Your help has been an eye opener for me. I manadged to get the KS0073 working from Flowcode. I will post the FCF when I'm donne. My next hurdle is to split the ADC value into High and Low bites like the old thermometer in flow3. (whatever happen to the thermometer compone...

Thanks guys for your help. I found the data sheet for the KS0073 Sumsung LCD Driver. http://www.lcd-module.de/eng/pdf/zubehoer/ks0073.pdf Changing LCD's at this time is not possible. I wrote a initialazation makro in Flow5 and works 0n 2 lines only. According to the data sheet the instruction to set...

Hi all, I need help. I have a BTHQ42003AV-STF-06 Display module that doesn't initialize with FlowCode LCD Makro. I bielieve the reason is that FlowCode Makro was designed based on the HD44780 Hitachi Driver. My LCD Module is based on the KS0073 display driver and apparently are certain dicrepancies ...

Hi Benj,
I see that Flowcode4 is now available and Matrix offers 50% discount on upgrade from 3 to 4.
I've had a look on Matrix site but I didn't find were I can order the upgrade.

Please advise.

Hi Vinz, RSA means Republic of South Africa. Beatifull country and beatifull people. We are going to host the 2010 FIFA Soccer Wourld Cup, Massive big event. Look the support from Matrix is good and the guys on the forum are quite helpfull as well you just ask and someone usaully crops in. Good luck...

Hi Vinz, You can't program anything you can only program the processors that are relevante to the Flowcode version that you buy (eg. PIC, ARM and AVR). If you interested in other manufactures than you have to wait for Matrix to come up with new variantes. If you're interested in wrighting your own p...

Hi Ben, I'm not sure what you mean by "If you untick the show values as hex tick box"I don't have this feature in my version of the CAN component?? What I have is " Use Hex Notation box " and no matter what I do to it as soon as I erase all the digits from any of the boxes to re-...

Hi Ben, How do I edit the values in the CAN component Box. The component doesn't allow me to erase all the digits. If I want to change the message ID I can't just erase all the numbers and enter a new one without having to fiddle with the cursor in the box. I'm sure this is not the way of changing t...

Hi Ben, Ok. The problem was....... I was using a 4Mhz Chip with the 19.660800Mhz :oops: Sorry. I've now manage to get the PIC to initialize the CAN Bus module. I wasn't yet able to get any sort of defenitive communications between the modules. I searched the web and find out that one way of quick te...

Hi Ben, Sorry I mean MCP2515 not MCP2551 Could you tell me as well on the configuration setup for the component the mumber for CS and INT mean connect to Port C0 and C6 on the actual pic and if so how do they change for the 18 pin Pics that this pins are on PortB If I had to use any other pin on Por...

Hi Ben, Ok, now you got me even more confused. Why is that the PIC gets stuck on the initialization? Does the pic expect any kind of confirmation from the MCP2551 in order to go to the next step? If that's the case, it makes sense the program freezes, meaning that the MCP2551 or the SPI section of t...

Hi Ben,

Thanks, I've got it.

Hi Benj,

I've tried the same code on the pic16f877 and I got the same problem.
When could we expect the fix for the componet?

Thanks



Pinto

Hi Benj.

How do I use the Switches component macro?

Thanks



Pinto

Hi Benj, I've tried what you suggested it didn't fix the problem. I've placed a LED just after the init. Makro and the pic appear to be stuck on the initialazation makro. I've re-installed Flowcode with a fresh copy made no difference. I've simulated the code on Proteus as well and the same thing ha...

Hi Benj, Thanks for the infio. My connections seem to be ok. I've connetect CS to RC0 INT to RC1 and changed the configuration bits on the Can module as well. If you look at the attached program the LED on Port A1 should flash regardless if the Can is comunicating or not but it doesn't, if I remove ...

Hi Daniel, Thanks for your input. I havn't had a chance to test it yet because I can't get the Canbus Component to work properly. If i create a small program switching LED's On & Off on PortA 0,1,2,3 and PortA4,5 I have two inputs connected to a pic16f876 and 20Khz Xtal the program works when do...

Hi Benj,

How can I adress the nodes on a can bus network via DIP Switches and still be able to use the CAN Component?

When is the Flowcode 4 going to be availabe?

Thanks


Pinto

Hi Benj.

Don't worry about my last comment on the CAN Example.
I found a couple Examples on the Flowbook,
Thanks.


Pinto

Hello Benj.

Thanks I'll try the 15Kb/s.

I guess you didn't manage to get any example?


Thanks.



Pinto

Hi Benj, I'm looking for an FlowCode Canbus network example using the Can Bus Board. I'm looking to use an pic16f876 and a Canbus Network Board (EB018-30-1) to make a network with 4 nodes. The length of the network wil go as long as 350 meters. I believe that if we reduce the bus speed to 10Kb/s we ...

THanks for the info, PIC16F876: I discovered that I wasn't exiting the Interrup routine that's why I was having problems. I 've RB0 Int. now working everytime I push the Button. The other problem I'm having is with Port Change Int. When I press a button conected to pins PB4,5,6,7 the program interru...

Hi,

Can I use the RB0 Int. and RB4-7 Port Change Int. in the same program?

When I simulate it in Flow Code works well but doesn't run on the real 16F876?
Any ideas?

Thanks



Pinto
