FC shutdown during MIAC and Servo Simulation

[Jay Dee]

Hi,
I am playing with a MIAC and digital servo, When Itry to simulate the program shuts down without warning.
I've checked through the settings and I think they are good. Also change the pin that controls the servo, same prob.
does not seem to work in hardware either but only done a very quick hardware check and my actual flowcode could be wrong and not FC itself.
See attached FC5 Prog.

The simulation works fine if the device is set to an ECIO 40.
Not sure if this is me having put in some dumb settings or bug.

Using FC5 v5.1.0.0
Cheers,
John.

Hi John,

we can repeat the problem here, we will have a look into it and hopefully be able to offer a solution soon.

Hi. The problem is in the Servo EnableServo(). This is definitely a bug - the program should never crash regardless of what settings you add!

We will take a look at this component and see what can be done. This should only affect simulation.

Thanks guys,
I've migrated to my ECIO 40 setup for the time being so no stress from this end.

Hello John,

It looks like you have targeted a "MIAC System", which is for a future set of products which will be released in the next few months. We are aware of a few simulation issues which we will fix before the release of the products themselves.

Instead, please use a "MIAC" as your target and then change the component connection of the servo appropriately. Your program should now simulate without crashing.

Ooops, my bad.
Thanks Steve.
