Matrix user forums

Hi Steve, I have a suggestion that could be beneficial for all the members on the forum. If you could dedicate a section of the forum were the members could post the actual Flowcode code for other memebers to open and run with flowcode3 and reply with they suggestions. In this way we could evaluate ...

Hi, If you look in this forum for a heading "RS232 Parity Bits" you will find a lot of helpfull info form Steve and Benj regarding RS232 Comm's. I find Hyperterminal not very helpfull. I use Serial Port Monitor From Eltima it's a very good tool to debug Comm's. http://www.eltima.com/purchase/serial-...

Hi Steve,

I'm trying to convert a value into a frequency (0 to 100Khz) to output to VFC (LM331) via an optocoupler and get a 0 to 10v output.

It would be a good chance for me to try the PWM component.

Would it be possible to have a copy of the component?

Hi Benj, I finished with the rs232 project and works quit nicely. I manage to get the for processors exchanging data and doing all other things. Thanks I'm now starting to experiment with the Webserver component. I created a new flowcode project and placed the webserver component on the work sheet a...

Hi Benj, Thanks for your help but once again I need ti pick your brain..... I've wrote the flowcode program with the code as per your suggestions and compiled it and run it on my simulator and worked ok. I've 4 PIC's 16F628 running and communicating with each other and simulate ok but when I program...

Good morning Benj, I'm now one step up and experimenting with your code. I can send code eg. SendRS232Char(0x81, 0); //Number is odd . But when I try to receive eg ReceiveRS232Char than the compiler reports the followig: J:\A Master Slave Pc\FlowCode\ENV_TX.c(198:18): error: arguments of 'ReceiveRS2...

Hi Steve,

It worked thanks.

Hi Benj, I'm having a problem with the linker not compiling. This is the report: Adroit_Send.c success success Return code = 0 Launching the linker/assembler...

Thanks Guys, Impressive stuff, I mean the service. I would buy FlowCode over again for this kind of service, (I've read other postings). Anyway I've tried Benj and Steven's suggestions and I stickked with Steven's it's simpler for what I want to do (no offence to you Benj). I would like to thank Mar...

Hi Benj, Thanks for your help so far. Could you explain the last bit of your program? eg. You can then send data from the PICmicro with a C code code block and the following flowcode byte variables : Data, Parity Code: SendRS232Char(FCV_DATA, FCV_PARITY); Say for instance I would like to send h81 h0...

Hello Mark, Thanks for the info. I read both documents that you suggested but I'm still in the dark!!! I need to send 2 bites to a Pc running comm's @ Baud Rate 300bps, Parity EVEN, Stop Bits 1, No Handshaking. The reason for the 300bps Baud rate is that the Pc is running an old network of sensors t...

Hi Mark,

Does the RS232 support the "Even and Odd" Parity bits?

How can I change the Parity?

If I use None and set Hyperterminal to none works Ok, but if I change Hyperterminal to Odd or Even doesn't work.

Any Help?

Thanks

Dear Sirs. Is the TMR0 linked to a delay Icon in any way? I have the following situation: I initialised TMR0 to Internal Clock, and the prescaler to 1:128 and I call a Macro called send_code. In the send_code Macro I have a RS232 Macro sedding "FF". After initializing the program goes into a loop ca...

Hi Benj, I tried your code and still didn't work. The problem was that RA4 is an open source and wasn't pulled it up to the Vdd. I connected an 100k between RA4 and the Vdd and the LCD worked. I than removed the C code box from FC3 and re-compiled the program loaded on the simulator and worked as we...

Hi Benj, I've tried to connect a LCD display on PORTA of Pic877 and didn't work. It simulated ok on FC3 but when I loaded into Proteus didn't work. I tried on other ports and worked ok. I'm not sure if there's something else that as to be set on PortA. I looked into the 877 data sheet but I'm nor su...

Hi Benj,
It worked fine when I simulated on Proteus Virtual Monitor, although it had no effect on Flowcode3 RS232 simulator.

Thanks

How do I Insert the special characters in the RS232 Macro?
I've inserted a word "Press Start" on the RS232 macro and I need to insert a carriage return \r to change the next cycle to a new line.

Hi Steve,

Do you have any help files on components such as RS232, CAN, etc, etc, etc explaining the workings of the macro?


Regards

Hi Steve, Thanks for the info but the problem wasn't with flowcode, a blog of solder shorted the RS & E line when I shifted the wires on my PCB. I do appologize for the inconvinience and I should of double check the PCB for shorts circuits. Looking at the positive side I've started to use the FORUM ...

Hi Ben, Thanks for your help. I'm not using the e-Block LCD PCB I'm using a simple prototype board that I made. Previously I had the LCD connected to RB0----RB5 on the PCB and the LCD connections on the LCD component in Flowcode to match the PCB connections and I was interrupting on INT/RB but becau...

Can I connect the LCD Component in Flowcode3 to other pins than the ones that the component defaults? eg. Insteady PB0-----PB5 I would like to connect them to PB1-----PB6 because I would like to make use of the interrupt on PB0. I've tryed it and simulated Ok in Flowcode3 but din't work with the act...
