LEDs and LED Array not simulating correctly 8.2.1.13

Post by Benj »

Hello,

We have had reports that the LED and LED array aren't simulating correctly in the latest 8.2.1.13 release.

We have managed to find and fix the problem, all you have to do is replace the main Flowcode executable with the attached file here.

Simply open the attached zip archive and extract the contained exe file into your "C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode 8\" directory.

Then run Flowcode as normal and the problem should be resolved.

Update file is located here.

Hi Benj

We are experiencing this problem at our school. So I would like to download the *.zip file. When I try to download it I get the following error.

We cannot find http://www.matrixtsl.com/temp/FlowcodeV8.2.1.14.zip

There's nothing here... but what you seek may still exist elsewhere... try these links to find what you are looking for or use the Search bar at the top of the page.

Could you please re-upload the file or provide a new link?

Kind regards

Simon Delarue

Hey thanks, do we replace the existing flowcode.exe with this one?
My FC8 doesn't find the updates automatically. I have version: 8.2.0.12

Hi MJU,
Currently, only non-exe files can be updated within Flowcode via Help, Check for updates.
To upgrade, you will need to uninstall 8.2.0, and download 8.2.1 from here
Then it's up to you if you download 8.2.1.13 from the zip file on the first post.
I would suggest after installing the latest version, you run the Help, Check for updates.
It's just preference but I change Files in-use to Full database.

Could also not open an new project.

Did remove the "old" FC8, i am not sure which version i was using.
I did use Help, Check for updates in help 2 times.
And did an reinstal of 8.2, and now everything is working, including the LED's in the 2d dashboard panel :)


But like Martin said, this is the path i should have taken:
