Hello..
Is there anyone who can describe what I'm doing wrong with the Miac dsPIC Keypad (MI5809.
Can not see any result in the display by test ...
I'm absolutely sure I'm ignoring something.
Would you like to help make the codes work and results can be seen in the Miac dsPIC Display.
See attached codes:

Hi Monie,

You need to change your target to a MIAC dsPIC.
Build->Project Options->Choose a Target
PIC16->Misc->MIAC (dsPIC)

Regards,
Leigh

Hi Leigh,
Thank you very much

What is the difference between choosing Miac (dsPIC) or Miac (dsPIC) System ??

Hi Leigh,
Have tried via the Miac dsPIC to get the GPS device to work, but unsuccessfully!

You need to choose "MIAC (dsPIC) System" when using the MIAC Expansion modules (such as GPS)
this then includes all the "system" functionality.

I'll now take a look at your latest flowchart

Posted: **Mon Jun 04, 2018 1:28 pm**

Hi Monie,
Yes, you need to change the target to "MIAC (dsPIC) System"
Also, the "number" variable error is due to the use of the global "number" variable in your PrintDecimal macro that is not given a value.

I think you intended to use the parameter ".PrintDecimal" not "number"

Hi Leigh,
Thank you for your code.
I get the following error message: C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode 7\compilers\pic16\batchfiles\pic16_C30_comp.bat reported error code 1
Do you have a suggestion to resolve the error message below.

Have you got the following directory? ...
C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode 7\CAL\MIAC
Is there anything in it?
MIAC_CAL_API.h in particular

Hi Leigh,
I have the following files in Flowcode/CAL/MIAC:

Hi LeighM,
Thank you very much for your patients.
It looks like it's working now.

Posted: **Mon Jun 04, 2018 3:23 pm**

Hi LeighM,

How do I put the coordinates in miac - gps longitude and latitude, so they work?

Posted: **Mon Jun 04, 2018 4:01 pm**

Hi Monie,
If you mean for simulation, unfortunately there is not much simulation for the Expansion modules.

Posted: **Mon Jun 04, 2018 5:41 pm**

Hi Leigh,
I mean i the real world

Wish to GPS Read longitude and latitude!
Please see below on the codes!

Hi Monie
They return the value in degrees as a float

Posted: **Tue Jun 05, 2018 9:53 am**

Hi Leigh,

They return the value in degrees as a float, I use them;-)
But when I move Miac dsPIC and Miac GPS outside the house, the devices work ....

Is it possible to put an ant on Miac GPS, as well from inside the PCB layout and out of the box???

Posted: **Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:00 am**

Hi Monie,
There is no easy way to do that.
But you could maybe move the GPS module near to a window?
Run the CAN wiring back to the MIAC if that cannot be moved near the window too?

Posted: **Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:22 am**

Hi Leigh,
It is very annoying that an external ant can not be connected
