Hi Martin & chipfryer27, thank you both. That did it!! :D I amended the live version in C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\FCD\ARD using Notepad++ as recommended. Not only do I now have the 8MHz clock setting available under the General Options tab / Options menu but other variations too. Bonus! I ...

I have a 3V 8Mhz Arduino Pro Micro clone that is fitted with an Atmega32u4 processor. The only Target option within flowcode that allows me to program the device is the ‘Arduino LilyPad Usb’. However, the LilyPad Usb target has the clock speed set to 16MHz by default with no ability to change it fro...

Ben, Thank you for your quick reply. My question was perhaps a little more fundamental. Using the graphical display components in flowcode how do I increase the size of the font beyond the preset options provided? Is there a scaler parameter that can be exposed within the display component or do I n...

Is there a way to display digits that fill the entire display area on a graphical display, e.g. any of the colour display models that are available within flowcode? Using the print string function and the extended font size (i.e. parameter 31) it is possible to increase the display font by 6 times i...

Hi Ben, Thank you for responding to my post. It is good to know that Matrix are already giving this topic some thought. I am currently looking at future projects using ST ARM 32F407VE, but my advice would be to take a strategic approach rather pick off devices here and there. Easy for me to say I kn...

I direct this request primarily to the Matrix team, to ask if Matrix would consider creating suite of encryption tools for use with Flowcode. The purpose is to provide secure communications for IOT and other types of interconnected projects. Secure communication has already become a fundamental desi...

Thank you Ben and Jorgen, I think there is a slight misunderstanding of the problem I am experiencing. No doubt due to the way I initially described the problem. Using the Jordy's custom RTC component in FC8 does not return the time or date strings. In the program I posted the display shows 45/25/16...

Hi Jorgen Thank you for your quick reply. I did a full update as you suggested - thanks Changing from 'channel 1' to 'Software' does not work for me. I specifically want to use Jordy's custom component because it has the 10 alarm timer outputs that the RTC component in FC8 does not have. Any other i...

Having taken advantage of the 50% off Easter offer I have upgraded from Flowcode V7 to V8.2. However, I have found that the custom DS1307 RTC component by Jordy101091 no longer works. (Same also for his DS3231 version from http://www.matrixtsl.com/mmforums/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=14566) I note that in ...

Reading through various posts on the forums, I note that there have been a number of requests to be able to import Arduino libraries straight into Flowcode. I too would like this, but it is understood that it is not easy and is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future. Therefore, would the Matri...

Hi Julian Thanks for the updates. Good to know it worked. I am not really sure why your orignal solution was not working as well, may be it has something to do with the way the code is constructed from the flowchart. I have learnt alot from the contributions on this forum so I am please that at last...

@juliansilver,

Please see if the attached method works any better for you.

Even if it just gives you spark of an idea that you might get to work in your application.

You will need to set the debounce value to suit.

Merry Christmas

Ari

Nice work Dave

Many thanks!

I too am very interested in this sensor and would really like to see it as a working component for flowcode.

Kind Regards

Ari

After tinkering around with Flowkit and my Arduino Mega I have found a combination of connections and settings that work. One observation I have made, is that Flowkit is not particularly tolerant to being disconnected and re-connected to the USB port. I found that if communication could not be estab...

Ben, Thank you for your reply. I have gone back to basics by trying to get the Arduino and flowkit working together by using a 1s second ‘flasher’ program. (Posted below so you can see my configuration). However my problem remains, the flowkit is detected by Flowcode (V6.1.3.2) but I get the followi...

With reference to my previous post -

Have the Matrix staff (e.g Benj) any ideas on how to get Flowkit (V1) working with the Arduino Mega ?

Kind regards

Ariko

Has anyone on the forum successfuly used the ICD of Flowkit V1 with an Arduino Mega 2560 R3 ? I am able to communicate between PC and Flowkit, but I cannot initiate communication between the Flowkit and the Arduino. The error message suggests that there is no response from the Arduino. I suspect the...
