I'm having trouble connecting DSP components in FC11. When placing the DSP items into a 2D panel, when selecting say the PID component, in the PID properties there are options of what to connect the setpoint and feedback buffers to. When entering the drop down menus for the SP and FB, the connections options are empty despite having a DSP input component present. I have found that if I delete the PID component and reinstall it in the 2D panel again and go instantly to the drop down menus the connection option is there briefly before disappearing again. I have tried this on a Windows 10 and also Windows 11 PC.
I have downloaded the PID example and in the PID 2D panel I can add other DSP components and in the properties window options appear for available connections to different components. If I open a new 2D panel in the same PID example and add DSP components into the new panel, the connection options are not available.
Correct me if I am wrong but I assume the process involves selecting the DSP components you require and placing them into a panel then from the properties window making the required connections between components and then referencing them in your flowchart?
I'm looking into the problem for you and it appears it's only the first component that does this. If you edit the properties of the DSP_Input component e.g. change the buffer type and then change it back it should now appear in the list of the DSP_PID. Anything else you add seems to appear right away.
I'm looking into a fix for this now so hopefully it will be fully resolved for you soon.
edit. On looking into the problem it appears it's a timing issue. if you give the components a few seconds then it all works as it should. The connections between the components sometimes takes a few seconds to become available but should automatically resolve themselves after a few seconds.
Please let me know if this doesn't solve the issue for you.
I have tried creating a new panel and inserting some DSP components into that panel. As mentioned above if I am quick enough the connection options are available briefly before disappearing. Waiting does not seem to work. As you mentioned if the buffer types are changed to say unsigned integers and then changing them back along with putting further components into the panel eventually it gets there and the connection options become available.
