how to convert a c variable into a flowcode variable

[dirkvg@skynet.be]

I start my flowcode program with a c block

unsigned int test=0;
test = test+1;

how can I use that variable in a calculation block?

in my attached file I hoped that on te LCD should come a 2 and not a 1

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello,

If you look at the generated C code then you can see how the C variable is represented compared to the Flowcode variable.

Code: Select all

    //C Code
    //C Code:
    unsigned int test =0;
    test=test+1;


    //Calculation
    //Calculation:
    //  test = test+1
    FCV_TEST = FCV_TEST + 1;

So I would get rid of this line.

Code: Select all

unsigned int test =0;

And then change this line

Code: Select all

test=test+1;

to this

Code: Select all

FCV_TEST = FCV_TEST + 1;

Thanks for your answer but the result is not still good

If you look at my attached program, after the simulation of that program on the LCD comes a 1
and for me it must be a 2

Hi
The result is what you are asking for as your variable is 0 so test =test+1 will equal 1, is there any specific reason you are using a c block in your code ??

Hello,

C code will not simulate which is why you are getting 1 instead of 2. Also I would initialise the value before incrementing, in simulation it will initialise to 0 for you but the hardware will not do this and will be random at best.
