Hi,

I am having problems calling a macro from within asm. The help file says to call _FCM_MACRO() but the compiler doesn't like it.

asm
{
call _FCM_MACRO()
}

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong please? (the name MACRO is just an example).

Thanks,

Dave.

Dave, Thanks, I understand the concept, but how would I actually impliment that in Flowcode? In a C icon? If so please post the syntax. Thanks (and to Martin also) I just put srand(tmr0); in a C box at the start of the flowchart, then RandomNumber = random() in a calculation box when a random numbe...

I used the seed srand(tmr0);

tmr0 is "unknown" on power up. Seems to work quite well.

The contents of these registers cannot be accessed in simulation. With FlowKit, you would need to create a Flowcode variable for each SFR you wish to monitor and then put a C code icon in the program flow at the point where you wish to monitor the SFR(s). The C code window should basically set the ...

I saw the flowkit document thanks. By tutorials do you mean the video's?

The "in circuit debugging" one just shows the simulator

Thanks Martin, There seems to be a lot of information on line. Problem is in finding it! Dave. I couldn't agree more, for that reason I posted this: http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforums/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=7451#p26400 Which is asking for more information on different types of bit/byte manipula...

Thanks Martin,

Thanks Martin that's very useful. I'll try it out first thing in the morning. These statements appear to be derived from C? How do you find out what you can put in a decision box and what has to go in a C box? I find the Flowcode help files very limited. Is there a document somewhere that details al...

Hi all, Is there any way to read individual bits from a Flowcode variable without resorting to C code please? Something like a decision block with: "If Variable,3 = 1" with yes or no outputs. I can put : "If variable = 23" and it works fine but I need to test each of the 8 bits and act on the value ...

Sorry, I did not read your post properly so got the wrong end of the stick.
I understand what your doing now.

Hi Martin, your answer is relevant to the next part of the code so thanks anyway.

Dave.

Thanks Rosenbaum, that was the problem. All working fine now.

Thanks for that Martin.

However, in this program auto clear watchdog is disabled and there are no loops or delays (except for a 6uS delay using asm nop commands.

Dave.

Hi all I have written a very simple program for the PIC 12F629 using the internal RC oscillator. Basically I set the watchdog timer to 2.3 secs using prescaler 1:128, send a narrow pulse to an output and put the device into sleep. The idea is to send the pulse once every 2.3 seconds by the WDT wakeu...

Hi, I am a new user of Flowcode having previously programmed PIC's in assembler. I was wondering if I can access the PIC special function registers such as TMR0, ADCON1, TRISB etc. during simulation. I cant find them in the WATCH window, only user created registers. If this is not possible can they ...
