Re: Idea on how to sync and then follow a frequency.

Hi Those two boards will be very helpful indeed in learning to use Flowcode. I'd also recommend the BL0173 Terminal Boards which will allow you to connect "stuff" to the other unused ports (C/D/E). The BL0162 is another concideration. Although stated as a Servo board I have never used it f...

Re: Idea on how to sync and then follow a frequency.

Hi Not such a problem if the "step" voltages of the DAC meet your needs. You could use external ADC / DAC to give better resolution if required. How close to the original is required? Rhetorical question for you to think on. Generally speaking you would need to sample at 200Hz to get a rea...

Re: Idea on how to sync and then follow a frequency.

Hi With an 8-bit PIC running at 32MHZ you may struggle depending on the frequency you are sampling, plus I think the DAC is only 5-bit (I would need to check) so you may not be able to get a good reconstruction. Really depends on the frequency you wish to sample and reconstruct. dsPIC devices are pr...

Re: Idea on how to sync and then follow a frequency.

Hi

You have asked a question that is a bit vague. What do you mean exactly for it to do?

You could mean take an incoming frequency and use that as the clock in, then the microcontroller will be syn'd to that, or something else entirely.

A bit more info would allow us to help better.

Regards

Re: STM32F411 COMPILER ERROR

Hi Further to Martin above I hadn't noticed "Dropbox" which has in the past caused issues for me (and others that were not local). I've also had issues with spaces in the file name but offhand I can't remember what I was compiling too. These are current component versions and my locations,...

Re: STM32F411 COMPILER ERROR

Hi

Compiles to C and Hex OK for me. I don't have the chip to try HW though.

Are all your components up to date and toolchain paths correct?

Regards

Re: PICO Compiler Toolchain is not installed.

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...

Re: PIC12f1840 speed selection

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...

Re: Simple Watch Dog with 8 bit PIC

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 ...

Re: PIC12f1840 speed selection

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...
