RS232/USART Parity, Stop bits & Interrupts

It would be a huge advantage to have Flowcode able to handle parity and stop bits if required. With asynchronous comms, a single stop bit is handled by the microcode within the USART and is invisible to the user. This is not the case if 2 stop bits are used. This is often required for application co...

Re: RS232 Packet Framing

Hello Benj Thanks for the reply. I would rather use 8 bits and strip out the MSB since 8-bit mode uses the USART. Given that the PIC USART's only support 8 & 9 bit operation, I presume that the 7-bit option in Flowcode is just bit-bashed and the USART is not used at all. Of course the big disadvanta...

RS232 Packet Framing

I am in the early stages of working on an intelligent serial data repeater/streamer that will permit a laboratory balance to communicate with a particular software package. The data stream is fixed at 2400 baud, 1 start, 7 data, 2 stop, no parity. The PIC that will be used is a 16F88 running at 1966...

PIC Power Control PWM Module

I am a new user to Flowcode but have been programming PIC's in assembler for about 10 years. Does anyone have any experience of attempting to implement the 18F4331 power control PWM module (not the CCP/PWM module) from within Flowcode V4.0? While I am asking stupid questions, is there a decent manua...
