Hi Ben! Thanks for your answer. I'm trying to send data from PIC to PC so I should use output buffer instead. I'm currently using the default set ups, buffer size of output is equal to 8. My string length is 5, so it should be no problem to send it but I still have the same behaviour. No data arrive...

Hello to all!! I'm using Flowcode V3.6.11.53 and I'm implementing a program that control some external hardware and that sends previously acquire data to the PC. At the moment I'm using an USB_Serial connection and I'm trying to use the macro USBSerial0_SendString. I already tried to use the USBSeri...

Hello Ben!! I'm back and I'm back with the blue screens. It work during sometime but after a while the blue screens started. I’ve been doing some tests and I have some doubts about the function ECIO_Transmit(). What is the return value of this function? 0 means sent ok or is it 1? And in my code i...

Hello Ben! I’ve not tried with a different and new device but I’ve tried in a different Computer and the blue screens do not appear. It seems that the problem is somewhere in the other computer although the blue screens only appear when I use the ECIO but so many things are used at the time… I...

Hi all! I'm trying to install the ECIO-40P to be used as a USB Slave in a computer running windows vista and I’m having some problems. I can install the ECIO with the specified driver but I cannot install the drivers for the USB Slave, when I try to run the example from the USB Pack I cannot Open ...

Hello Ben! That’s right, I’m the one you help that time… and others before ;) Just to be sure that I got it right; English is not my primary language has you notice. What do you mean with If you are overwriting the flash memory on a regular basis in your program then please be aware that there...

Hello Benj! My code already has these settings, other wised it wouldn’t be possible to transfer blocks of 128 bytes each. To transfer data from the ECIO to the PC I’m using the component macro, “Send_String(String(STRING), Length(BYTE))”, this function does not have a return value. From the ...

Hello Benj Thanks for your reply! Well, the blue screens occur when my program transfers data from the ECIO to the PC. It’s not always in the same part of code. Sometimes it’s possible to transmit 10 blocks of 128 bytes others less or more. The number of blocks that I’m able to transfer differ...

Hi all! I'm having some problems using ecio-40P. I’m using Flowcode3 and VB.NET. I've been using this modulo for several months and for about two weeks ago I started to have blue screens when I'm transmitting data. The program that I developed must transmit data between ECIO and the PC during exec...

Hi all! I would like to know if you have a zigbee/bluetooth component that can connect with the ECIO40 directly. What I mean is, for example, is I can connect the E-blocks Zigbee board – Router directly with the ECIO40 and communicate, for example, with a PC using a another zigbee/bluetooth compon...

Hi all! I'm using ECIO40 and I'm trying to transmit several bytes from PIC to PC and from PC to PIC. At the moment I'm trying to pass data from PIC to the PC using FlowcodeV3 and following the USB_Slave examples from the USB Pack. I wish to pass several bytes and I'm trying to pass them using the US...

Hi Ben! Thanks for your reply.... I've tryed to do that but a new problem appears! When I used the followed defines, #define USB_EP0_OUT_SIZE 8 #define USB_EP0_OUT_ADDR 0x0480 #define USB_EP0_IN_SIZE 8 #define USB_EP0_IN_ADDR 0x0488 I cannot established a USB connection.. the device is not recognize...

Thanks Ben! That solution works for 64 bytes but not for 128 or 256. When I try to compile I get this error: Error: Failed to allocate memory for var 'buffer_1_out' at address:0x00000590 crosses RAM banks Is there another file that I can change in order to be able to trasnmit 128, 256, 512 bytes at ...

Hello everyone! I'm trying to pass data from the PC the ECIO40 in runtime using the USB connection. I'm looking for your examples, USB PACK, and I would like to know if I can pass more than 30-32 bytes to the ECIO at the same time using the ECIO_Transmit(...) function. One more thing, when I use thi...

Ok!!!

If anyone ahve interest on this.
I found out that is possible.

Hi all! I would like to know if it's possible to generate the hex file with the MPLAB and CCS compiler for the ECIO40. Having the hex file I'll flash the ECIO with the ECIO programmer (ECIOProg.exe). I've try to do that with no success and I read from the ECIO Getting starter that the code should re...

Hi all!
I think I already know the answer for this question... but just to be sure.
Is is possible to use and generate the hex file for the USB component in a free version of the Flowcode?

Thanks,
Γ‚ngela

Thanks Ben!

Let see if I can do it following the examples.

Hello Benj! Thanks for your quick answer. Maybe I did not apply the term Real time in a correct way. What I need is to access the I/O pins of the ECIO from the PC during run time. Can I use the flowcode to access to a file in the PC, read the data and write it in the I/O pins of the ECIO? and the op...

Hello All!! I have a ECIO40P and I'm wondering how can I access to the I/O pins in real time. I need to updated the output pins and to read the input pins several times during the execution of my program. Please notice that I need to read from the ECIOC to the PC and from the PC to theECIO, and that...
