AI Code in FC - Discuss

Hi,
I know this is a little contentious but worth a chat. AI Code.
Firstly I explicit do NOT want AI to write the whole program BUT I'm an engineer not a coder, the reason I use flowcode is exactly because someone else has written modules of code. I then use these generic pre-built building blocks ...

Re: dsPIC33 PLL

Thanks Ben, that jogged me in the right direction.
Using an external 8Mhz XTAL, now have the dsPIC it running at 80Mhz, UART all good and a 1mS pulse (use FC delay) is scoped at 1.0023 mS
so all spot on for my use.
I mistakenly had a Value of 40 as my 'M' value, not 'Multipler - 2' thus 38 ...

dsPIC33 PLL

Hi Guys,
Maybe someone with more dsPIC experiance can help, i'm new to poking around at this level. :)

I have a dsPIC33EV with an external 8MHz XTAL I wish to run this at 80Mhz. I'm using FC to set most of my registers, via build options.
Then the first line on my FC is C Code.

CLKDIVbits ...

Re: Flowcode 11 Serial In Circuit Debug (ICD)

Hi Ben,
Finally got time to look at this again.

PIC18F2585 on a stand alone custom PCB.
Can this method only be used with direct USB programmed devices? since you need to Program & do ICD over a common serial link.
I use PICKIT3 or PICKIT5 for programming, but also have various old Eblocks ...

Re: Flowcode 11 Serial In Circuit Debug (ICD)

Hi Ben,
This ICD feature looks really interesting.
At the ned of your video, you mention that it may require a custom file to work with certain microcontrollers.

My projects are mostly using PICs and controlleres that all have UART which I typically dump diagnostics out to through an FTDI Serial ...

Re: App Developer - Text Array / Values Table

Ah... yeah. Mostly I thinking for PC developer. Which may be on a different development path to Web Dev. J.

Re: App Developer - Text Array / Values Table

Hi, I noted from another post that App Dev may seen some more development soon, so a cheeky bump for this idea.
A simple user defined array of textboxes, x Columns * Y Rows.
With a macro that populates each cell with a text string or value.

Re: C Based Delay - with and Without Timers

Yeah, I'm definatly staying within standard FC as much as I can. I'm an engineer, certainly no coder! Sadly the single Hardware UART is being used to drive a LIN output. J.

Re: C Based Delay - with and Without Timers

Well, I still can't get any Software driven UART type to send out anything with the correct Bit timing for 19200 or above.
I would have though a PIC running at 32MHz should have been able to do that?

Running in HS PLL mode is painful since I'm not sure if the FC internal delays/timers ...

Re: C Based Delay - with and Without Timers

I'm going down this rabbit hole a bit further to improve my understanding and I 'think' I'm getting there!
This needs two instuction cycles, which may explain the larger value I got previously.
LATC6 = 1;
NOP();
LATC6 = 0;

I think this is closer to a single instruction delay and is my TRUE ...
