Re: Migration to Pi Pico & CAN
Hi Ben & Martin. I appreciate the honest feedback. I'm an Engineer and flowcode user ( Not a proper coder of any sort!) so I'm keen to stay with products that are keenly supported and developed by the Matrix team. I'm sure the PICO works great once the tool chain is sorted. I guess I chose that rout...

Re: Migration to Pi Pico & CAN
Hi, So...found this on the Pi website. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-windows-installer/ This seems to be the current Pi approach to getting PICO to work on windows machines. I ran this and had to do a manual install of Visual Studio Code via the link address they provided. Visua...

Re: Migration to Pi Pico & CAN
Hi Martin, Yeah that is the guide. When I went to my VS installer ( It was previously installed for other programming projects) the only option i was given required me to update before I could add the C++ features and thus its now on community version 2022. I've just tried the VS links provided in t...

Re: Migration to Pi Pico & CAN
from the "Developer Command Prompt for VS2022" I ran "nmake/?" and it responded correctly with the versio and options. So it must be installed.
From a windows command window the same command returns an error as command not found.
Does some sort of path need to be added?

Re: Migration to Pi Pico & CAN
HI, So found the PICO toolchain link in the WIKI and the PDF. Installed all of the listed programs and the settings as requested. There were a few differences in the install file to those shown but it looked to install each program correctly. FC10 installed and activated. Pico connected in bootload ...

Migration to Pi Pico & CAN
Hi, I've been using ECIO's, MIACs, PIC18F and dsPIC for almost all of my projects since starting with FC back in 2009. With global chip shortages and discontinued products these are currently not a suitable basis for new projects. I really like the ECIO style of stand alone brick and so I have chose...

Re: SPI and I2C using same pins.
I just had a quick try with the I2C being bitbanged and repurposed a pin that was an unused LED. With this as Clock the i2C seems to work fine. So maybe this is the easiest solution all round. By retaining i2C dat on the MISO pin...is this likely to casue issues? Would it better all round to just mo...

SPI and I2C using same pins.
Hi, Using a PIC18F2585. The project is getting quite bust forthe little PIC, UART, CAN, i2C and SPI (MOSI only). Where possible i tend to use hardware periferals as I assume this is more robust/efficient for the PIC than bitbanging. The i2C and SPI only share a common clock Pin. The SPI is to a disp...

Defining or Returning Byte Arrays in User Macros
Hi, I have i2C read and write macro's . However I dont always want just a single return byte, I might be reading back anything from 1 to 6 bytes. I see I can Return Strings, Longs, Integers. Can I return a Byte Array from a user Macro? For the write macro, whilst I can create a parameter Byte Array ...

gLCD 4D Picaso - Display Image.
Hi, I've been try to get an image displayed on a 4D picaso gLCD ( uLCD 32PTU ) I have used the 4D tools to create the .GCI and .Dat files. and load them onto the FAT formatted SD card. But I'm unsure of the FC commands. For the offsets I just refered to the text of the .Dat file. For simplicity the ...
