RGB LED does not work ... at all.

[iamwhoiam]

Hi there. This is simple. I have a simple "while 1" loop, and inside it, I have set the value "2" to PORTA, and to PORTA is connected an RGB LED... and it doesn't light AT ALL.

Ideas?

Thanks

Hi
Are you using the FC5 macro? or writing it in FC4

RGB_Test_V1.fcf

This is a flowcode 4 version

My flowcharts are set to use PortD but it can easilly be moved to Port B

Bit 1 = Red
Bit 2 = Green
Bit 3 = Blue

Dont forget you need a current control resistor for each colour, a single resistor in the negative line is not advisable, even though it may look like it will work

Thanks, but I am talking about the limitations and bugs in the software; I have no doubt in the laws of physics. The LED is the simulated one, NOT a physical one.

Hi
The RGB led simulates fine in FC5.2

The component is not available in FC4 so has to be simulated using 3 seperate LEDs

It would be easier to see what you mean "it does'nt work at all" if you can post your flowchart.

Hi since this is discussing the RGB component in v5 ill move it to the v5 forums, if you require v5 forum membership please PM me with the last 6 characters of your v5 licence code
