Picked up the MPLABXpress board to play with the FC7 template and USB boot loader. Seems nice for the price. I want to add an i2c LCD display. But unlike other PIC chips, the LCD display doesn't seem to offer a hardware i2c channel for the MPBLAXpress 16F18855. Is that the case or am I missing somet...

Thanks for the pointers, Benj. I have now worked through the tutorials and created components as described. But despite the excellent step-by-step instructions, I feel that it would be helpful to have some kind of architectural overview of Flowcode components and events. A higher-level description o...

Hello, I have edited the "LCD generic" component so that you can now edit the delay via one of the component properties. Benj, thank you. Above and beyond what I could have asked. Works great...now my surplus LCDs (beautiful displays, but not standard spec) all work fine. V6 and V7 do not support c...

Hello Benj - Thanks for the response. V6 and V7 do not support component customisation. Instead there is component creation allowing you to create any component you wish. Sounds great...but I haven't been able to find any step-by-step instructions for that. Can you point me to some? What custom code...

I see that in Flowcode v5 there was a way to directly modify component source code by clicking on the component and selecting "Custom Code": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hb41C5gb_ww

I can't see that feature in Flowcode v6 or v7...is there a way to do that?

Hi - I purchased FC6 a while back...just starting to take a serious look at it. I have a large number of 4x20 and 2x16 LCD displays on hand. The code generated by Flowcode for PIC18F parts doesn't work reliably with all of them. Some work just fine, but others generate gibberish characters. I'm a ha...

Hello, It looks like these lines in the C file are to blame. 984 1098 ... Can you post up the C file and hopefully I can help to spot what's going wrong for you. Thanks for the response. Actually, 984 and 1098 are the compiler error codes. The problem lines are listed at the end of the error messag...

Hello - There is something I don't understand about Flowcode. If I try to compile my Flowcode C source in MPLAB, some of the variables that Flowcode generates are too long for the Hi-Tech compiler to handle. In the code below, the compiler gives "Conflicting Declaration" errors for different variabl...

Hi - I know this must have been answered previously, but in searching the archives I have obtained conflicting answers (at least to my limited understanding of Flowcode operation...) Q: Does Flowcode simulate RS-232 receive interrupts? I have experimented with the Flowcode RS-232 custom interrupt (a...
