Hi
Another annoying isue with Flowcode v4.5 .
When i try to simulate ( a very simple project ) << as fast as posible >> the program
stop to responding and its impossible to do nothing , the only way is to use the task manager
to stop and close the program .

Just a theory.
It maybe reading code too fast.
You can try placing a small delay in main loop 10ms for example.

Hi Martin
Thak you for your answer , you are right .
If i add a small delay (1ms ) in the main loop the simulation works fine .
I hope it is not necessary in the real hardware .
Thanks Again .

Hi sotos & Steve,
I just tried the program without the delay, and I can confirm it does also freeze on my PC. For some strange reason when running at the fastest simulation speed, the top icon has a red outline as though you are single stepping, and program is not responding. e.g pot will not rotate at all, Also Stop,play & pause have no effect when clicked.
So this could affect different operating systems in different ways.
PC specs are:
Running windows 7

To allow this to work in simulation with the delay but not add the delay when compiling to real hardware, you can add C code icons before and after the delay as follows:
Code: Select all
C Code Icon:
#if 0
Delay Icon:
Delay 1ms
C Code Icon:
#endif
