Hi This link details installation of toolchains https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wiki/index.php?title=Compiler_Toolchains At the bottom you will see further links to install ESP and Pico toolchains. It is very important that you follow the guides exactly as documented. If you change directories or install...

Hi Have a look at the attached snippet from Datasheet. It illustrates the available options you can select using the internal oscillator. If you choose one of them then you should be good. 20MHz would only be an option if using an external crystal. Flowcode has the Internal Oscillator Helper under R...

Hi There is an interesting story involving NASA and WDT. Basically years ago someone decided to save a few cents by not implementing. You can guess the rest... how much did that part we didn't fit cost????? In the options screen you also have a check box you can enable to auto clear watchdog, so FC ...

Hi If you mean where you can select clock speed under project options (highlighted yellow) then that only tells Flowcode what speed you are running at, not the hardware. You still need to select that (highlighted green) and possibly add in a C-code block. Screenshot 2025-09-10 154934.jpg If you post...

Hi The problem with writing any component that interacts with 3rd-party servers, such as News / Weather etc is that you are at the mercy of the service provider. What works today may not work tomorow as they have changed something. Personally, I found the examples to be helpful in learning how to us...

Hi

Just guessing that it may have been deprecated, and was intended as an example to interact. I see though that in searching components there is no entry for Reddit News but there is for BBC News. Principle of operation most likely the same.

Hi I have updated libraries to latest. I cannot even "see" the LEDs if I try and create a chart from new using the component, or open up Abhi's. I can select 1D and I can select the number of LEDs (default 27) and I can by going into properties manually set dimensions, but the LEDs don't a...

Hi You haven't done anything wrong as such, you just forgot that the seven segment display is actually seven individual segments that are addressed. Each segment has a binary value associated with it so you are using 8-bits (0-7). You are counting upwards and the display is correctly representing th...

Hi Bob A logic analyser really comes into it's own in cases like this. Even really cheap ones from amazon etc work well. You can get an 8-ch analyser for about £10 that plugs into your PC and free software allows you to check SPI/I2C/UART etc signals. You can see what is being sent and received in r...

Hi Bob Two resistors can do uni-directional level shifting. 1K2 and a 2K2 should do the trick. Amazon and other cheap sites will sell bi-directional shifters for around £5 for a handful (or thereabouts). I got some where each of the modules had four individual level shifters on board. Your cable sou...
