v4 - I am impressed

[jimhumphries]

After solving my configuration bit(s) problem and converting my v3 Flowcode to v4 I spent the weekend using v4 and I'm really impressed. In particular, the ADC Properties options allowed me to abandon my v3 "custom" .fcd file with A/D conversion code modifications. I was able to optimize the clock and acquisition delay to get the higher acquisition rate that I need for peak detection right from the panel. That was very cool. The panel itself is also pretty cool. Although I usually go right to the target system to debug (rather than simulating), the panel adds a nice touch to the overall development environment - I like the new look and feel. The LCD custom character capability without adding C code, also very nice and it looks like the custom characters will work (at least to a limited extent) in the simulator.

Although I haven't tried the FP math routines yet (and I will need them) I was somewhat disappointed to see that some math functions and all of the trig functions that are available for the ARM and AVR micros aren't available for the PICs. Are those on the burner for 4.1?

I'm glad you like it!

The trig functions wil not be available in the v4.1 release, but there is a chance that they will be available sometime soonish. I'll provide more details nearer the time.
