Re: Timer or interupt?

Hi I think we have similar backgrounds to an extent. I built my first computer (a kit) back in 77 when about 14 and a few years later progressed to Z80 processor based computers. I programmed in Basic with some assembler / machine code but I was far more interested in getting the computer to interac...

Re: Timer or interupt?

Hi Following on from the posts above, there are indeed countless ways to achieve what you want to do, each with their own merits. Medelec35 suggested the Timer Interval component and I have attached an example of how it could be used to toggle an LED attached to pin C0 of a PIC16F18877. You will see...

Re: WIFI CONNECTION OF ESP8266 TO ZTE-U30AIR WIRELESS 5G ROUTER

Hi Traveling just now so I can only be brief. If you search the forum and especially the "old forum" for esp8266 you will find many posts. Since the component was created, espressif changed their responses to given commands meaning the component would not work. Not sure if this was ever re...

Re: Flowcode Exchange

Hi I do some Proof of Concept (PoC) and whilst I wholeheartedly agree with andeug regarding the hidden dangers of Chinese products, they do have their place (in many cases the bin). If need to establish if something or other is the way forward or just a bad idea, I'd much rather spend £10 on amazon ...

Re: MQTT UART

Hi Yes, very much so. I am traveling just now so need to be brief, but take a look at these posts https://www.flowcode.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=3044 It may give you a start. It is for 76xx modules though. The 800 is 2G and is being retired in many countries (if not already). Connect your uart tx...

Re: Haversine formula

Hi Viktor Your coordinates are a bit off :) LatDeg2 = 48.8919 LonDeg2 = 12.5113 Puts you roughly at Straubing airport in Germany, 705Km from Warsaw. My attached chart gets the same result as in that link I sent. I made a constant of Pi/180 using 3.1415926 for Pi and more or less used Martin's calcul...

Re: Haversine formula

Hi Viktor Whilst not actually doing it myself I did earmark this site as it gave many different ways to calculate, and also mentions a TRS-80 being used to calculate (my second computer) https://www.movable-type.co.uk/scripts/latlong.html Might be of some interest. I found a lot of sites "scary...

Re: Reading string back

Hi
I'm having a small issue when reading the airtime back from the GSM network
Further to the above, what module are you using, what command are you issuing and what is the expected reply?

Re: Opening project in FC10 in FC11!

Hi Jorgen I have been opening some v10 projects in v11 without issue. Admittedly due to my current travelling I'm not as active as I would like therefore my targets and other hardware / components have been quite limited. However using ESPs, PICs, 2x16 / 4x20 LCDs, UARTs and the like have not so far...

Re: Kitchen Timer project using MikroElektronika 7seg Click with 74HC595

Hi Still travelling so I cannot be of specific help but most of all you are asking is most likely covered in the wiki. Most components have an explanation plus examples and I think there is an example of a counter somewhere. Sorry I can't provide a specific link. Do take a look at the 7-segment LED ...
