I am having trouble getting this code to work in real life. Using 16f690 It's just a simple counter. Where it detects a pulse on A5, when the count gets to 50, turns an LED on, when the count gets to 100, turns that LED off and turn LED2 on. when it reaches 150 LED1 on, 200 LED1 off LED2 & 3 on etc....

I am building a scoreboard timer. I have got the basics of what I need. Set to 30 (min) start, pause etc. I haven't played around with acurate timing before. What is the best way to this?

Thanks again. It was spot on.

Thanks heaps. I nearly had it. Will give it go but I think you're on the money there

Thanks

If I set 'A' at 100 and set 'B' at 200. How do I make a adc input 'C' with full range (0 -255) work at full range between A & B? Then if I Change 'B' to 150, C still need to operate at full rang , but between A & B. C is a pot opperating between 0-5V. I can achieve this through hardware, but would l...

Thanks David. On they way.

Hmm, that would be it then. How do I go about upgrading?
Thanks

I am trying to use the EEPROM function but why I go to compile to chip it says that my version 4.3 wont do it. What version do I need to be able to use this function?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP.
MAD, I HAVEN'T TRIED YOUR SUGESTION YET BUT DAN, IT WORKED!!!!!!
EVERYTHING IS STABLE AND WORKING BRILLIANTLY.
MAD, WHEN I GET TIME I WILL COME BACK AND ASK YOU HOW TO DO YOUR CALCULATIONS IF YOU DONT MIND
THANKS HEAPS
JOHN

Thanks for the reply. To answer your questions; When it 'flashes' all outputs flash at a 1/2 sec rate. I have checked the adc i/p when this happens and all is stable and no where near the comparison point. ie: PS (airbag) = 2.5v and initialset is at 1.5v. I have tried adding resistors and capacitors...

Would anyone know why when I have a simple compasrison program that works well on PC but when put into real life (onto board) it flashes its outputs?
I have checked the board and everything there is fine.

S**t hot it worked. Changed the language to "BRITISH" lol.

I am using windows XP.
The input/output devices in my projects are LED's, ADC, and 4seg7 and se7 arrays.

I installed the lasted version of flowcode 4.3. Now all my project open with an error indication I think it cant find the input or out put item related to the programm. ie: Run-time error 326, Resource identifier '8' not found. that was just 1 window. The identifiers change for each error. Have I do...

Thanks alot. That did help. I managed to nut it out a slightly different way, but yours will be used as well.

Could someone please get me started on this. I need an up and down button which will increase or decrease a value which I want to compare another value with. ie: value = 150 when up button pushed a value of 5 is added to (value) making it 155. same for the decrease. I know what I want to do with thi...

I was looking at the clocking. Thanks. Will fix up what you sujested and see how we go. Here is a description of what the unit has to do as you asked. INFORMATION WHAT HAS TO HAPPEN. ON START UP, HWY LED & HEVEY LEDS ARE ON, HWY/HVY POT IS ON, THE REST IS OFF. HWY & OFF ROAD BUTTONS TOGGLE BETWEEN E...

I have just found another anomaly (spell???????) in the C code view. #ifndef MX_ADC_TRIS_REG #pragma error "ADC Type 3 conversion code error - please contact technical support" #endif This happens a couple of times. What does this mean and how can it be fixed. I have added the C code view file to lo...

Got the bloody pickit working. I actually forgot about the interupt macro. I don't think I will need it just yet so I got rid of it. However is still doing the same. staying on with HWY LED ON, HVY LED ON, HWY/HVY LED ON. But what gets me though is why an input pin is being turned on? (HVY PIN and O...

Thanks medel,

I will give it a try as soon as I get my bloody pickit working again. It just had a hernia and OS stuffed up in it. I will let you know how things go.
Thanks again

Hi I have just purchased flowcode and loving it. Upgraded to 4.2. I have a problem tho. Although I have made up a program and it simulates perfectly, when I down load to the PIC (16F690) via the pickit2 it doesn't work in real life. The initial setting comes on and that's it. Also the HVY button inp...
