I have just started with two boards Rasberry PI 4 and Atmel SAMA5D3 is there any plan to add these to flowcode?

If not hats best way to modify existing board data to use new boards?

Have you any information, training pack to be able to modify existing code modules?

Thanks for the information

When using EEprom component it reports size as 0 bites, and I am unable to store any data for next restart. :( I cant see any mention of eeprom in datasheet for this processor. If it does not have an eeprom, how can I store data for next startup :?: Maybe the use of pointers and setting an area aside?

I am looking for a cal component or to access the code for gLCD_SSD1963. As it does not support the Character size I require. I am using this in 8 bit 8080 mode. Any advice on accessing the code to add a new larger size than is available would be handy. Also component Initialization for this does no...

Here is working code, I am using. works fine.

On other devices it was working sometimes but not others so added Rx::setdestination and its reliable on other devices. but not on PIC18877.

I tried SPI component on middle and end. There was no difference

OK Flowcode 8 fully up to date ver 8.2.0.12.

The attached program works fine with 18F2680, But not with 16F18877. This is still the case it hangs on first call to EB023.
My guess is that there may be something not correct with remap pins, but its only a guess.

V8 not up to date I will test it later with update and let you know.

Hi
I am having trouble with programming PIC 16F18877, I am using EB023 and unable to get this working using 16FPIC18877 but switched to PIC 18F2680 and it works fine. I also have problems with this chip using SPI and I2C. but other chips work fine. Any idea why?

I would like to receive multicast beacon that software is sending out a beacon to allow plug and play setup. Is there a way to set up membership to multicast listening on UDP port and set socket to so-reuseaddr. If so does anyone have code that I can use.

Ok first problem was R10 fitted to WIZ810 which held voltage on SPI pin at 1.5V. However this did not cure the problem. Changing chip from 16F18877 to PIC 28F2620 cured the problem. There would seem to be a problem with mapping of pins. I have enclosed prog in case it helps to find problem with PIC ...

SDO pin not given dedicated pin in datasheet but is remapable, remped to RC5
SDI I have set on RC4 default pin
SCK I have set to RC3 default pin
CS/SS pins set to RC1
Int pin set to RC0.
As far as I can see the above should work but still hangs on setting port No.

Sorry for delayed response been away. Computer recognizes BL080 as soon as it is plugged into USB port as BL080 Ghost2 PIC DIL programmer. I have been using 12V supply and after awhile it stops working, its also pretty warm in workshop. It works when first started, so I will change power supply to s...

Ok checked in Flowcode 7, and same problem. I must be missing something. UDP does not care about Gateway as far as I know it does not check anything just outputs and receives on designated port as long as IP address is correct. However Processor does not hang when setting UDP port No. it seems its j...

Hi I am having problems creating UDP socket in flowcode 8. Program hangs at create UDP socket, Src_port hovering mouse over this say you need to numbers comma seperated, but this produces a syntax error. Putting in port address for instance 49001 is accepted. but software hangs when run on create UD...

OK Thanks

Hi I cant find PIC 16F1778 in drop down menu for processor choice in Flowcode version 7 or 8. can it be added?

How can I write and download hex files in Flowcode 8??

Hi everything works in new board BL080 with PIC18F6280, However PIC16F18877 that comes with board throws up errors. First error during compile C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\CAL\PIC\PIC_CAL_I2C.c: FC_CAL_I2C_Master_Init_1() 256: = 21; C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowcode\Compilers\pic\batch\pic_xc8_...

I suppose you have this working now. I don't have this chip to test prog with. But included modified program based on what I have working.

Ok Just got back to I2C stuff and the new Flowcode 8 and my new BL080 programmer, and I am happy to say all is working as expected with I2C.

Great

I am having problems with my EB006-07 programmer, is there any way to reprogram the firmware??
as it keeps comming up with can,t find chip.

OK been away and checked things when I came back and I found fault with a SIL on board which affects some pins, so need to start again. ignore previous mails. Also checked datasheet against assigned pins for I2C and produced the below. I see that there is no software I2C functionality in Flowcode 8....

Hi Benj
I have a problem with this combo board BL114 and using the older combo board still has problem of printing twice on display although this does not happen when using EB005 16x2 component with the compo board.
