Hi, when i compile to HEX a project that includes an EEPROM module, there's an error message if the project uses a 16F917 and others 16F9XX.
Changing the PIC to a classic 16F877A, everithing goes OK.
Can you help me please?

Hello.

Yes, there is a problem with the code generation of the EEPROM component for the 16F9xx devices. We have fixed it here, but it has not been released yet.

For now, here is a workaround. Put the following code into the "defines" box of the "supplementary code" window:

Oh, thank you very much.
ItΒ΄s not working yet. ThereΒ΄s still one error:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrador\Escritorio\EE\Flowcode1.c(168): "#endif" outside of "#if"

What must i do then?

I confused the suplementary code with the AddDefines module. Now it's working.
By the way, in my spanish version some names are in english.
Thank you very much, I really love this software.
I can make my own midi controls and guitar switching units now, customized for myself. Very nice

Great - I'm glad it's working now.

Hi again.
That old problem is back in the new 3.4.7.48 version.
16f917 not compiles the EEPROM module.
And now the suplementary code you sent me doesn't work neither.

Hi,

I've just tested it here and it works fine. Remember that the code needs to go into the "defines" section of the "supplementary code" window (i.e. the top section).

Yes, Steve, IΒ΄m doing that, just like before.
IΒ΄ll send you the test project.

Here is a simple test. I can simulate it but doesn't compile eaven pasting the suplementary code.

I've just downloaded this program and it compiles fine here. Can you please also post the "C" file that is generated by your copy of FLowcode - this will help track down the problem.

OK, here it goes:

Hi Polanco,

By the C file, I meant actually attach the file "C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\CONFIG~1\Temp\EEPROM TEST-1.c".

Sorry Steve.

Hello

Please place the attached file into your Flowcode V3/Components folder and restart Flowcode. Your EEPROM code should now compile correctly.

Default - C:\Program Files\Matrix Multimedia\Flowcode V3\Components.

Eureka!
Thank you Benj and Steve. ItΒ΄s working now.
