Starburst Display

Post by Pactor »

Hello
I was looking at the starburst display and I tried the demo program, it compiled to C ok but compile to hex brings up this error.

StarburstTest.c: FCD_0f441_LED_Starburst1__ShowCharacter()
410: case '\':
^ (226) char const too long
411: {
^ (320) ":" expected
(908) exit status = 1
(908) exit status = 1

I'm using FC7
Thanks for any help

Hello,

Please can you try this and hopefully it should solve the problem for you.

Simply copy the attached file into your "Flowcode 7/Components" folder and restart Flowcode to load the changes.

Thanks very much, I didn't expect such great service and have it looked into so quickly.

It all loads to the microcontroller fine now.

I was using a different chip and had assigned different outputs to the segments, I tested all the segments out for crossed wires with a little
test program and all came on in the expected order. I then tried the Matrix test program using the new segment assignments but the display was completely scrambled, I suppose changing the outputs to the segments is not a good idea.
I am only experimenting with it. Thanks again.
