Thanks Ben

I'll have to upgrade to pro to use this.

I've noticed that there are other elements that I'd like to use which require Pro also..

So...yes I'll upgrade!

Cheers

Hi Forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section but... I have a graphic LCD type PG12864 and wondered if anyone has experience of interfacing this with a PIC programmed in Flowcode. Or indeed if anyone could give me some gentle steering in the right direction on interfacing this display with a ...

That's great

Thanks Steve

Hi I have the Student/Home version of FC which came with a key. I have a PC laptop and a PC tower and I would ideally like to be able to use my copy of FC on both. Is it OK for me to install and activate using my key on both? or do I have to get a second copy? It is purely for my own use. Many thank...

Hi Ben Thanks for your interest. I made the delays by trial and error. What worked OK with the ECIO didn't translate directly to the other chip so a fair amount of tweaking had to be done. I used 10 LEDs driven by Port B and 2 of the LSD of Port A. I planned the shape with a drawing program using a ...

Hi Steve I have now successfully programmed my ECIO28P with a rather simple but effective program which drives 10 leds in such a way that when waved in the air they appear as a heart shape (for a special person's birthday!). Having rehearsed this with the ECIO28P I then transferred to a 16F628 chip ...

Hi Benj I think the fundamental problem is that because you don't explicitly say you have to...or indeed...how to change the programmer to ECIOprog within Flowcode that people like me (newbie’s) might think that they have a problem with the software/hardware in the original scenario I described. I...

Thanks Benj

Yes I was being an idiot and selecting the standard 18F2455!

I'll try the ecio28p from the list.

Hi I pointec flowcode at ECIOprog.exe as the Programmer but got ECIO not found after trying to compile to chip. I realise now (I think!) that you have to compile from flowcode using ECIOprog.exe as the programmer - then reset the ECIO when flowcode launches the programmer so that the ECIO wakes up a...

Thanks Steve and Benj I have version 3.4.7.48 and I've checked again in the install folder and have now found ECIOprog.exe (not sure what happened with my earlier windows search!). I'm at work right now so will try again with the ECIO when I get home (using the info you've supplied Steve). Thanks ag...

Hi Steve It's Damian not Damien No the FAQ doesn't help - as I said - I've been through all that. What is this "stand-alone ECIOprog.exe "? - this doesn't exist as the normal install on my computer - I've searched for it with no results. Flowcode can't auto-detect because it thinks there is no cable...

Hi I'm having a problem with the ECIO28P I was sent recently in my Flowcode Bundle and I suspect it is faulty. I've tried on a Samsung q45 laptop running XP SP3, an Acer Travelmate laptop running XP SP3 and on 2 different home built PCs one running Vista Ultimate and one running XP SP3 - same proble...

Hi I'm having the same problem. XP with sp3 installed Installed flowcode 3.4.7.48 then correctly installed driver then plugged in ECIO-28P - green led flashes and bong bing from PC speaker implying a connection. confirmed installation - agreed to non-digitally signed etc - says installed correctly i...
