ECIO 40P Issues

[steve001]

Morning All,

Not used my ECIO's for a long time and having some issues, and confused what the issue(s) could be.

Installed the 64 Bit Drivers for the 28 & 40 P and trying to compile to target the USB HID example on the V9 wiki

https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wikiv9/index ... D_Keyboard

First issue ?

plugging in my ECIO to check windows detected it :-

Have tried a different port and get the same message.
Have tried the same lead on my electronic load and it works ok.

So i thought maybe because flowcode not open, so i opened it

When i checked the project options to try and change to mloader as my default is a pickit3 - was greeted by this message :-

My ECIO is set to USB Power on the Link & the green led flashes

running mloader i get this but forget what to do next, seams like everything knows its there

Any idea's

Afternoon All,

Having Problems Still.

Very hit and miss if my ECIO programs or not, pressing "compile to chip"

Dont understand what is going wrong

at the moment mloader is seeing the ECIO and the LED is flashing (dose this mean its connected to mloader) ?
Device manager is showing it the ECIO logo is green
I am unable to compile to chip or to hex


Any idea's

Hi Steve the '£' ect is a part of the extended ASCII set and that is what's causing the error.
If you disable the Switch icon that contains '£' and any other extended chars, you should find it compiles OK.

Hi Martin,

Thank you.
Would you be able to modify the example file in the V9 wiki please?

I am not 100% sure and don't feel confident i can modify my chart correctly as i am stepping through and trying to get my head around what happening and why.

Hi Steve

In the ASCIItoKeypress Macro chart you will see two decision switches. The first has options for 0-9, the second with characters such as ")" etc.

If you open up the properties for this switch and change "£" to say "+" or any other non extended character i.e. anything decimal 0-127 then it should compile fine.

ASCII codes are here https://www.asciitable.com/

Hi All,

The application that i was wanting to use this for has, changed this is no longer required.
This project is of interest to me so i will have a go later

Thanks for the advice so far.
I will pick this up again at some point
