Ports A6 & A7 not accessible

Hi all
I am setting up another project with the settings based on a previous working setup driving a GLCD. I want to use ports A6 & A7 but they are grayed out as if in use as OSC1 & OSC2, I think I have disabled all usage of the external oscillator functions to release the ports for general use. Hopefully someone looking from a different angle can see where the issue is, the 1 second test is bang on.

Thanks
Ian

Hi Ian,
As a temp unofficial fix can you try the attached file?
You will need to place it in C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\FCD\PIC which is hidden by default.
If file was added when Flowcode was running then flowchart will require reloading.

Hi Martin
Thank you for your reply, I have replaced the file and reloaded FC but the ports remain grayed out, would you mind having another look please.
Many thanks Ian

Did it state you already have a file with the same name and do you want to replace the file in the desination?

You are a genius Martin, my mistake was to allow FC to do an update which rolled the file back!
All good now, thank you!

Yes that will do it. :lol:
No problem easily done.
I have not got the chip to test A6 &7.
Hopefully will work okay.

Yes, it compiles to the chip a treat.
Thank you

Thanks Martin,

This one should be fully sorted now, found a few devices with the same problem.
