Hello Martin, About using an I/O before the main loop is a good suggestion. I also toggle an I/O in the main loop to check if the PIC is running, and how fast it is running. The display still does NOT work, when you use PIC16F1939, while it does work when you use PIC16f887. With the same hardware, E...

If you place the following line of code into your supplementary code window. View -> Project options -> View Supplementary code. #define OPTION OPTION_REG Then: Hitech 9.7 does not compile and returns ^ (192) undefined identifier "OPTION" But Hitech 9.82 does compile. So for compiling with Hitech 9....

Some results using Hitech in Flowcode 4.5 Step 1: Using original settings (using sourceboost) Result: successful. Step 2: Using HI-TECH Software 9.70 Result: For half a seccond it shows only “Hi”, after that, strange symbols on Display. Instead of “Hi look i am working” it shows strange characters....

Hello again, To keep things simple and to the point. Forget about special displays etc. In this example I use only 3 standard Eblocks: 1. EB006 USB multi-programmer. 2. EB004 LED board connected between PORTD and Display 3. EB005 LCD Board connected to LED board on PORTD Further do I use 2 different...

Benj, When you have a look at my posting, I mentioned, that I use Flowcode 4.5 :wink: So I would like to know, are the settings for the compiler, as I mentioned above the right ones? Also I used an older Target PIC16F887, to avoid problems with (possible, bugged) target definition files. But you are...

Benj, Good advice, sometimes I struggle so much with the software, that I forget to have a look at the hardware! I am able to get text on the same hardware using C programming, with Hitech and Source boost, but not with Flowcode 4.5 (for this device PIC16F1939, as mentioned before others like PIC16F...

Thank you Medelec35, I thought the definition files would be OK now, with the new release. there are also some problems here with the new PIC16F1xxx devices. I hope my comments help a bit to make Flowcode a better product. (it is not a bad product at all, but improvements are welcome :) ) Waiting fo...

Hello, I Have some problems when I use the Hitech compiler. Used Software: Flowcode 4.5.18.74 Hitech 9.82 Source boost 7.04 Display_16F887.fcf When I use the default settings with the Source boost compiler, everything works as expected. When I chance the compiler settings in flowcode to: Compiler Lo...

Hello, First let me mention that the new version of Flowcode is great. The low cost rf component is very nice, also the new supported devices. Especially the PIC16F1xx ones. However I have some problems with those 16F1xx ones. It is not driving the LCD display. Used target PIC16F1939, used LCD ANAG ...

Hello, PPP needs an Update for using PIC 8 & 16 Bits together PPP version 3.9.12.26 needs a little update. I have used this program, download from matrix website without problems for Flowcode 3 and 4, C4PICsV4 course, and ASM4PICs course (all installed). After I installed Flowcode 4 for PIC24, I get...

Hello people of Matrix multimedia,

Maybe a good idea to implement capacitive sensing in flowcode.
Both Microchip and Atmel are putting new devices / development boards and code examples (libraries) in C on the marked which use Capacitive sensing .

You can use Flowcode, and MPlab together when you have a separate Hitech or Sourceboost compiler. Hitech only with Flowcode 4, Source boost 6.96 with both FC4 and FC3 You have to create a MPlab project, in this project you have to point to the created C- File (created by flowcode). And you have to a...

Hello, I have a SourceBoost-C licence, so I can use this compiler outside Flowcode. By using flowcode to generate the C-file for the MPlab project, you can easily use tools like the Picstartplus, or ICD2, ICD3 etc. Also you can easy switch language tools like Hitech / Sourceboost. First you create a...

It would be nice if it was possible to select the desired prorgammer, eblock, pickit2 or pickit3 inside flowcode, not just in the install screen. If you prototype with E-blocks and you want to program your design, in circuit with the pickit, it is not nice to look for the right settings and chance t...

I updated to V4.2 by downloading from website, and installing it. After installing I tried the Help> look for updates tab in flowcode menu and got this: Flowcode_PIC Updates page. Your current version is: 4.2 The latest version of Flowcode_PIC is available for download from here: Flowcode PIC V4.1 F...

I have Flowcode V3 and V4 professional, and using windows XP. After getting a MIAC i tried to program it. Flowcode failed to access MIAC, after trying to install and un-install usb drivers it still did not work. Using the Flowcode version shipped by the MIAC did not work either. Then I found the cou...
