Simple hardware PWM support in non PRO license?

Post by mahjongg »

IMHO support for simple hardware PWM (instead of a servo object) is an elementary Input / Output feature of most microcontrollers, and I don't get why you removed it from flowcode 6.

For HW PWM we now only have the servo object, and it needs a PRO license! :?

Will need to upgrade to PRO solely to be able to use HW PWM!

Hello,

We have not removed the PWM functionality, simply removed it from the main lists of components as it was deemed confusing.

If you use the search option then you should be able to find the PWM component and add it to the favourites category.

Aha, Thanks Benj, I looked in the search option (and was impressed by what I could find there) but expected PWM to be in the "Output" category (or perhaps in the mechatronics one), and overlooked that it was in the "various" category, (but also needs a PRO License).

Thanks.

I have now bought a PRO license, but it's not activated yet.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to "grey out" any modules that you need a PRO license for to use.
Now you only notice that it doesn't work with only a chip license when you try to use it.
