Hi Jorgen, Your computer operating system namely Windows identifies file types by there extension as do applications, sometimes there can be conflicts depending on what applications you have on that particular computer, the fact that you have a word logo before those files means that your computer t...

Hi Ben, I am trying to simulate a lightning bolt with a strip of 32 WS2801 LEDS, I have done this succsesfully using the Arduino IDE and Fastled, I have tried to do the same in Flowcode but I am strugling with the shiftLED macro, there is nothing in the Wiki about it.

Re: WS2801 / WS2811 / WS2812(B) Chainable LED Driver IC

Hi Jorgen,

In the picture that you posted you had the WS2801 and WS2811 files in a directory called C:/FL , they don't go there they go here:

C:/Program Files(x86)/Flowcode7/components

hope this helps

Hi Jorgen,

You need to have the component file in the components folder of Flowcode 7, like the picture below:

Hi Jorgen, No you don't need office installed it is nothing to do with Flowcode, what you have is an association problem, if you right click on the file icon, go down to properties and left click, where it says opens with, you can click on the change button and select Flowcode 7 instead of Word. hop...

Hi Ben,

Tried doing my own chart also but when I add the LED_WS2801 component to the system panel it is nowhere to be seen, component macro says its there but no sign of it.

Hi guys, Just to confirm, until this is fixed, when you try to simulate on 2 of the examples simulation will fail and you will get a box that asks if you would like to view the first offending command, click yes then double click on the icon, where it says DataMode add a 0 in the parameter box, then...

Hi Steve, Thanks for this, I have some bits and pieces coming from China so will be about 3 weeks before I know if I have anything that will do the job, I will have a go at making something with one of the xtr110 as well i think because they are readily available in pdip where as the op amp is only ...

Re: Help with 12 volt battery variable voltage supply please

Hi Jorgen,

Thanks for the heads up, I have had a look at the chart but just wondering how it is implemented in hardware ie where do you connect your voltage to be measured ?

Thanks
