Is there going to be something ( Or already) in place to allow for creating LCD Custom Characters
I tried loading flowchart from here:
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... 66&#p51550
Compiled and there were errors.
Not placed in the bugs section as there may not have been an allowance for LCD Custom Characters in the first place?
If there has been an allowance, but there i a bug, then I will move this post to the appropriate section.

Hi Martin,
I don't think this has been taken into account for simulation but there should not be compilation errors. I will have a look into the errors and also see how easy it would be to simulate custom characters.

This program now compiles (just got rid of the C code calls to the macros and replaced with standard component macro calls).
Will now have a quick look at simulating the custom chars as would be a useful feature.

Thanks Ben,
Your post was very useful!
Originally I was modifying a V3 Flowchart which used
Code: Select all
FCD_LCDDisplay0_RAM_Write(a,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x);
Format to work with FC4. So I did not even see the LCD RAM_Write option to use.
So its not a bug anyway since FC6 is not designed to convert V3 flowcharts which is what
Code: Select all
FCD_LCDDisplay0_RAM_Write(a,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x);
was taken from.
See

So from now on I will use LCD component RAM_WRITE function

Yes I agree, that would be a useful feature.
