Re: Flowcode 11 Serial In Circuit Debug (ICD)

Hello,

Yes those are all great targets and should all work fine with the new ICD.

The two 8-bit PIC devices should work fine with a simple tweak to the device definition file. You can amend the original FCD file in the "C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV11\FCD\PIC" folder or you can make a copy of ...

Re: Component: LCD SPI (MiniClick) (Alphanumeric)

Hello Rodrigo,

I'll get one of the displays on order and do some testing here. hopefully we can get you up and running ASAP.

As for the IO expander yes we have wanted to add a feature called virtual pins for some time now where you would get more port pins you can connect other components to and ...

Re: ESP32S3 SD-card init problem

Hello,

I wonder if the LED is interfering with the signal e.g. adding capacitance and stopping the signal from running at full speed? Maybe worth removing it?

Aha I didn't know you were using my board ok I'll see if I can replicate the issue there for you and let you know. It's slightly different ...

Re: Free Target E-Blocks2 STARM Programmer failing to compile in FC11 Free Version

Thanks Leigh, Yes could well be the cause.

Here's the remapping guide for the E-block board from ST Port pins to E-blocks Port Pins if it's useful.

Re: ESP32S3 SD-card init problem

Hello Stefan,

As I say we have it working great on the ESP32S3 so not sure wehat the problem is here.

This is my firmware project file and the part that initialises the card. We are sure the card is running as we put bitmaps and font data onto the card and that's all working great.

Re: Component: LCD SPI (MiniClick) (Alphanumeric)

Looking at your project you have a C code icon near the top of your program, this is not required and could be causing issues.

You could also maybe try disabling the call to the other SPI while you are debugging the screen to see if that can help as it's sharing pins with the display component.

I ...

Re: Component: LCD SPI (MiniClick) (Alphanumeric)

Hi Rod,

Thanks for the details analysis and explanation and also bearing with us. I'm looking into it now and hopefully will have a solution for you ASAP.

Just so you're aware the component source files are available in the wiki so if you ever need to make a change to a component you can do so but ...

Re: Using FVR on a adc channel

Hi Bob,

It would help me a lot to be able to see you're measurement circuit. That way I will be able to confirm if my assumptions about how you've wired things are correct.

Re: Using FVR on a adc channel

This might do it ;)

I have two ADC components, one using VCC and another using FVR.

I read the VCC ADC and use that to get the ball park voltage. If it's more suited to an FVR range then I switch to the best option.
