Re: RC5 component not working

Hey Guys, Let me hook up with this RC5 issue. I'm also working on implementing the RC5 receiver in a project. I started with the projects MCU (PIC24) on a high clock frequency. Got no results. This was in FC9. So I took out my e-Block kit with a simple MCU, PIC16F877A. At first test (FC9) no results...

Re: PIC32MX with 24C32 EEProm

Hi Stefan, Sorry for the delay, lot to do.. I build the I2C read and write routine with the peripheral I2C macro from the Creation menu. This works great without any problems. Unfortunate only in software mode. Hardware ch1 and 2 do not work.. Now I switched to FC9 and recompiled my project. In this...

PIC32MX with 24C32 EEProm

Hey Guys, My project with PIC32MX550 uses the 24C32 EEprom macro. My hardware uses the 24AA32 EEProm. Only in software mode the first address value can be written and read, sequencing values none. In hardware mode no data is read or written. Did several delay test to check but no results... Update?

OLED with SPD0301 driver

Hi All I have purchased some bigger 1,54" I2C OLED displays from Heltec (heltec.cn). This display uses a SPD0301 driver. In the Flowcode I2C Oled macro's dispays are used with SSD1306 and SH1106 drivers. I use these also... and these are working great. The SPD0301 controler is not supported yet. Any...

Re: WS2812B compilation problems.

Hi Martin/Ben, I have been working at Martin's refresh code and tuned it to a working code for the PIC MCU. PIC WS2812B Test.fcfx Using an output as MOSI function gives to much delay in the loop. Changed it in C-code and did some measurements. Changed the amount of nops in Martin's Refresh macro and...

Re: WS2812B compilation problems.

Hi Martin/Ben, Looking at Martin's solution in hard coding i started to check Martin's code on a PIC16F18877. Checking the timing on my scope I discovered that even with one NOP the timing delay is still 780ns with it's internal clock of 32MHz. Increasing the NOPS counts shows that it gets stable at...

Re: WS2812B compilation problems.

Hi Ben, I also tested the macro on a AVR ATMega16 MCU, clock external 8MHz. Checking the Initialize macro: It gives in total 24 pulses. I assume all bits are set to zero. Analizing it on a scope the T0H and T0L are 480ns and 2.28ms. T0L is far out of range according to the datasheet. Selecting more ...

Re: WS2812B compilation problems.

Hi Ben, I tested the macro more in a totaly clean project. If the MCU clock is not in range of the macro expected clock you get no data from the MOSI pin. If MCU clock is set right, tested in a software loop and by interupt macro, I get data from the mosi pin. I did put the initialize call in a dela...

Re: No internal EEProm with use of bootloader

Hi, I solved my issues with the epprom by using replacing the eeprom macro by two C- macro's. A read macro named NVMRead and a write macro named NVMWrite. NVMRead.fcm NVMWrite.fcm Both macro's do use the Address Hi byte (0xF0 for eeprom) as well. Advantage to this is that also the User, Revision and...

Re: No internal EEProm with use of bootloader

Hi Ben, For now I did a read test by adding an address read commando in C. Test.jpg This works and to my suprise all values read by the eeprom macro are read as well. To check why, i only put the "NVMADRH = 0x70" in the C-code at the beginning of the sequence and the eeprom read function does work. ...

Also these values are not read by the program. I made a LUT with the initial values for the eeprom. The eeprom is check...

Re: XC Compiler Pro mode

Hi Martin,

Yes I did change the batch file as suggested in the post link.

This is working in both cases. Old and new compiler.
If this works less well in V2.10 i can't say. I just don't have no experience in this field.
I can do some checks for you if you like..

Thanks.

Re: XC Compiler Pro mode

Hi Q,

I'm not into the options compilers do and don't have.
As a hardware engineer i only look at the results.

As you say, after installing the license the standard is going to a pro version. For me this does the job.
