Re: Counter to track engine crankshaft angle

Thanks for these ideas. I obviously better use dsPIC, I have dsPIC33 EP 512 MU810 at home with experimental board, but it has the MU extension. Would that still be OK ? If not, An other alternative would be to buy dsPIC33 EP 512 MC 502-I/SP, SPDIP-28, as it is DIP and easy to experiment with Here I ...

Re: Compiler in FREE mode

Thanks for the valuable answer indeed. The Flowcode7 Datasheet says Microchip XC Compilers For the first time, Flowcode will include Microchip's XC compilers in version 7. For those familiar with previous versions of Flowcode, this will improve the speed at which 8bit PIC devices compile by more tha...

Compiler in FREE mode

I have the commercial version of Flowcode 7 and all the chip packs.

Counter to track engine crankshaft angle

Can thid be done in Flowcode7 ? An engine has an incremental rotary encoder. It gives 1024 pulses and one reset pulse per revolution A Counter is needed to track engine crankshaft angle The best solution would probably be to use the internal counter in PIC As an example: The processor 16F1937 has a ...

PIC16F1779 is not supported

PIC16F1779 is not supported , probably because it is a new component.

I need 4 DA outputs

Any advice what to do ?

Thanks and Best regards

LCD 4 rows x 40

I plan to use RAYSTAR OPTRONICS RC4004A-BIW-ESX 4 rows and 40 chr It is probably one of the largest alphanumeric LCD displays and it has an interesting price in quantities (I guess slightly above $ 10 ) I there any flowcode component for it ?

Default language

At installation flowcode picks the local language as default. I generally think that the advantages are overwhelming to always set english as default . It is not possible to keep help systems in all languages and translations to smaller languages are always more or less poor. This causes confusion. ...

Change chip

I have a project with chip 16F877 and I would like to change the chip to the more modern 16F887
How is that done in Flowcode without starting over with a NEW empty design from beginnning ?
Thanks and best regards

Re: Flywheel and valves programming

Hi Now when setting up ECIO40P16 I have 3 questions The processor on ECIO40P16 requires 3.3 V Is it a potential conflict to use EB061 Application Board and different other 5V Eblock modules ? "ECIO can easily be integrated with LabView and Visual Basic." ( I cant find the necessary download of DLLs ...

Re: Flywheel and valves programming

It is very slow, up to 5 revolutions per second.
But it would be nice with an approach that allows for more speed sometime in the future

Flywheel and valves programming

My question is how to approach this task in Flowcode6 and with a suitable PIC processor. ( I would prefer the ecio40p or eico40p16 ) A flywheel gives one reset-pulse at each revolution and 1024 clock pulses within one revolution. Most PIC have a timer that could be used to follow one revolution of t...
