What do you mean 'doesn't work' - looks to compile successfully..
Does the heartbeat 'pulse'? Can you output anything to RS232?

Thanks Jorgen,

Good to know it's working - wasn't too big a change...

Not sure if I ever posted the source code (is it wrong to use the forum as a backup device?) - but be kind, it's quite a few years old (I was just starting to play with Flowcode then) - and I'm sure much could be done ...

With scrolling in direction '0' (hopefully...)

Hi Martin, thanks - yes that works for 'downloadable' macros.

I'll have an experiment with v2 ...

No - I don't know if it's possible to 'decompile' the fcpx file. I did have an attempt one time (add a function, look at the hex and repeat - but I didn't gain enlightenment)

Yes - and there is just one small flaw with the plan....

v2 might be lost in the mists of time

I've realised why the scroll reverses the text - it draws a column of the current character then scrolls the display right - so the left hand column of the character -> right first. So mirrored. Need to draw the right most column of the last character in the string first - scroll and repeat....

Something is wrong with the command line to upload the program to hardware...

Should be '-p COMn -b 115200' wheres the speed seems to have been tacked on as the fiilename....

Can you look at what is in Build->Compiler options->Programmer as the command line and options.

Will take a look and see what i can do ..

Hi Jorgen,

Just tested on hardware (albeit with a Uno not a Nano) - and Slew works AOK - if you have four displays attached then set the number to 4 (Slew just scrolls until the left side of the letters is at 0 - so if the text doesn't fit then the end will be lost... If you have more displays ...
