Hi Ben Thanks for the reply. I originally wanted to simulate a range of 600 to 6000 but because I couldn't get it to work I dropped it to a byte and 255 - scaling between these two values using a range 0 to 1 might be interesting!! As this is a bug then can it be fixed to work as expected? The Max a...

Hi, Have just tried using the simulation 'things' for the first time and found things didn't work as expected. With reference the enclose FC file I am trying to use the mouse to move a slider and have its value appear on vertical scale but no luck. Incidently it does show(move) if I use a potentiome...

Hi Ben, Sorry bud but I think that's unfair and unreasonable. I called your office yesterday only to have v8 pushed down my throat. Now you're doing the same - I'm not impressed Also you have to consider that we don't just have to create the component, we also have to document it, provide examples a...

Found this on the net - It compiles without errors but how would you use it in FC (and I don't mean dropping it into a C icon). // Testing interrupt-based analog reading // ATMega328p // Note, many macro values are defined in <avr/io.h> and // <avr/interrupts.h>, which are included automatically by ...

Hi Ben,

Can these be made available for v7 as well please

Thanks
Matt

Hi

Has an analgoue interrupt been sorted out yet - I remeber there was talk of it about a year ago?

Thanks
Matt

HI MJU I agree with you 100% but Kersing also has a point. I like using FC but I am increasingly getting frustrated with Matrix management and there direction of the software. They can't even be bothered to give us a proper help file. Like you I would to produce components for the community but I ju...

Hi

I've used JLCPCB with good results www.jlcpcb,com with good results. They charge $2 (£1.52) initially for 5 boards and about £15 delivery

I later found out that if you use JLCPCB's PCB software (EasyEDA) and order your whole project through them you can also discounted components

Hi Burak, Not meaning to hijack your post but I have requested a component from Matrix that if implemented correctly should allow for transparent communication with Flowcode and 1-wire Devices. At the moment they are still thinking things though! I have also come across the limitations of FC and 1wi...

Hi Steve,


Thanks for that,. Can I presume that it is OK to uourschematic I my design and can you confirm the function of the switches - I don't fully understand the previous explantion

Matrix??

HI EtsDriver, Generally, I really struggle with Datasheet 'speak' and have a tendency to develop local dyslexia when I try and read them - its a shame Google Translate include it as one of their languages :D Seriously, what threw me was that I would expect them to be connected to the host, I wasn't ...

Hi, First of, am I able to use the circuit design in the following link as a basis for my project although I will be using a different transceiver (is it protected, copyrighted etc) http://www.matrixtsl.com/resources/files/datasheets/EB018-30-2.pdf Secondly, presuming 1 is a yes what is the purpose ...

Hi Ben, I can't thank you enough for looking into this - I was beginning to think I'd Really P****d you guys off!! OK a brief recap - I would like to use around 14 1-wire devices over a 20-30m bus length. The problem with 1-wire systems is long cable length, reliable timings and number of devices on...

Hi Leigh,

Can I use that with FC7?

Also, I notice in the 'Latest' FC7 than Ben posted that there has been some work generally on the ATMEL328P does this included work on the trigger levels of the Pin Change interrupts (triggering on both rising and falling edges)

Matt

Hi Martin, Unfortunately the Flowcode doesn't utilise the interrupt facility of the AVR hardware (and I guess this would be very difficult to do in whilst supporting multiple targets) Sorry - this is going to sound really rude - How do you know I2C Interrupts are not supported. - hands on experience...

anyone?

Hi Steve Thank you for a fuller explanation and an honest appraisal of Matrix's position - much appreciated. The problem is I want to use Flowcode but need the same sort of footprint and bare 'boardness' of a Nano's or F103 BUT including the functionality of the ESP32 or F103 or higher. Additionally...

Hi

Any news on support for the ESP's from a post from last year?

So realistically are you talking weeks or months?

What I'm meaning is If I choose one of those modules and sort out the electronics blah blah, and get a PCB made up, cock up the soldering and have another one made would we both be in the ball park?

Hi Need some help understanding I2C process using FC components and Interrupts. I will probably be using 2x Atmel328P based uC'ers. It looks Like I will need to implement 3 or 4 byte communication occasionally between the two. I see no mention of interrupts or ISR's when I drag the component to the ...

Hi, Due to the prevalence of these great little boards for £1.5-£3 ish on out favourite auction site, is there any possibility of theses being supported by Flowcode anytime soon? https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p4712.m570.l1313.TR3.TRC1.A0.H0.Xstm32f103.TRS0&_nkw=stm32f103&_sacat...

Any further forward to a reply?

Matt

Hi Kersing,

Um are you sure??? I'm looking through my FC7 and I can't see any 'yellow crosses' against any of my CAN components but the only options I can see is for a MCP2515 component which is a SPI to CAN chip.

Or have the last three hairs I have left just turned blonde LOL?

Matt

Hi Martin,

So following your link, again Matrix have chosen to make 'statements' about their software other than having a proper help system for each and every command which we then can use and learn from.
