EPROM Not supported in Student?

[Bobw]

I thought I was all done!, went to compile my file and received the following:

"This version of flowcode will compile for the following components only"
LED
LEDarray
LED7seg
LED7seg4
LCDdisplay
Switch
Switchbank
ADC
Keypad
PWM
Formulaflowcode
MIAC










What NO EPROM????
I thought the student version included all the components?

No the student/home version does not contain all components.
If you look at the marketing datasheet
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/datashe ... 4-60-7.pdf
It does show:

It also states:

Limited components
Free and home versions do not have all components. Limited component
versions all have LED, LED array, Switch, Switchbank, ADC, LCD, 7-segment
display, Keypad, Quad 7-segment display, and PWM. The PICmicro version
additionally has MIAC and Formula Flowcode. These versions cannot have
more components added to them as free downloads. Other versions include
all components.

So EEPROMS not on the list sorry.
You will need pro version for that component

%$*#($&#*@*# MAN.....
This thing works perfectly except the EPROM part.
Yeah I read that data sheet, but thought EPROM was included.
I feel like that should have been a standard, not an add on.

Buyer be ware I guess.

If you wanted the pro version, the price is reduced by the amount paid for a home/student version.
So you are not loosing any money by buying student version 1st, then wanting to upgrade.

Lot of money for a 1 up project

Lot of money for a 1 up project

I guess it is quite a bit of money for 1 project, but when you successfully complete one project, the buzz sets in and you want to create more....Well I did anyway :p
The alternative is learning assembly, C or an alternative to Flowcharting.
What I did was learn how to use flowcode, then once got the hang of that, then I was learning about C and assembly (only for reference as it takes too long to use in practice).
There is no way with C or assembly I can create project as quick as I can with flowcode.
So for that reason it is best to have the pro version.

I agree, But it is almost limiting like saying you can only use to 1/2 the PIC ports. But my own fault, I thought they meant an External EEPROM not the one that is in the PIC.

I could never have gotten this far this fast without flow code. I would still be trying to figure out what "C" code was.
I will have to learn C so I can just add my own code for the EEPROM i guess.

Thank you again for all your help getting me started.
