Re: ATMEL-ICE programmer not seen on "Programmer port" menu

Now I saw it... Which compiler should I choose for my programmer? And which programmer shall I use?
By default, when I was working with Arduino Nano, the AVRdude was the compiler.

Re: ATMEL-ICE programmer not seen on "Programmer port" menu

I can see the programmer in Device Manager, and I have the latest drivers. See the first captured screenshot.
My problem is that I cannot see the programmer inside Flowcode, and I do not know how to configure it.

ATmega1284P external quartz configuration - need help with settings for quartz crystal at 16MHz

Hi, I am using an ATmega1284P in one of my projects, and when configuring it, I cannot find the option for an external 16MHz quartz crystal. Can someone please tell me where that setting is and what I should choose? I am speaking of "Step 5 - Chip Configuration / Select clock source". Than...

ATMEL-ICE programmer not seen on "Programmer port" menu

Hi, I have the ATmel ICE programmer, but I don't know how to get it to work with Flowcode. Screenshot 2026-02-14 132340.png Do you know what I need to do in order to configure it properly? By default, it does not appear in the Device Manager/Ports (COM/LPT) section, but it can be accessed via a dedi...

Re: COMPONENT REQUEST: display using 1x 74HC595 and configurable 7-segments digits with multiplexing

Thank you for the in-depth explanation.

Do you know which symbol/component in Flowcode I should use when addressing each digit? I am talking about a case where I would use TPIC6B595, and each digit would be addressed via a MOSFET. Is there a dedicated one for GPIO? (I was not able to find)

Re: COMPONENT REQUEST: display using 1x 74HC595 and configurable 7-segments digits with multiplexing

I want to use a shift register, TPIC6B595, because: - Can sink 150 mA per output; - Handles LED multiplexing peak currents safely; - Protects MCU from LED load; - Only 3 SPI pins needed; - Is daisy-chainable, if I need more digits in the future, like a 14/16 element display The microcontroller is an...

Re: COMPONENT REQUEST: display using 1x 74HC595 and configurable 7-segments digits with multiplexing

Martin, I need something that uses my specific setup. and not HT16K33, MAX7219, or something else...
I wish the component I need existed already, since 7-segment multiplexing is quite popular.

COMPONENT REQUEST: display using 1x 74HC595 and configurable 7-segments digits with multiplexing

Hi, I am working on the project below, and I would need a dedicated component for it: https://www.flowcode.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3615 In my context, • TPIC6B595 sinks current for the 7-segments of one digit + DP • P-MOSFETs switch digit anodes • MCU handles multiplex timing Otherwise, how can...
