Are there plans to update the compiler to eliminate these error messages? This will help everyone tremendously.

Thank you,

Gary

Your code has the program operating through the NO side of the decision tree every time. The variable 'read' is not declared, so the program flow is only through the NO side.

Error within the FC IDE coding for the INT1/REMAP with the PIC24FJ64GB004 family. The attach file illustrates the problem area. I believe the problem lies within the chip file information and not within the main FC IDE software Basically, the FC IDE is using bits 0-4 of the RPINR0 register when it s...

Peter, The intent of the program is to demonstrate whether I am using the TImer feature correctly. Thus, the purpose of the While(1) loop within the program to continually see the increase of the counter variable. But the increase in value is not happening and thus the purpose of my original post. A...

I am stepping into the use of Timers. I wrote a simple program to begin the first step into learning whether I can program it correctly. I am doing something wrong but do not know what it is. Can you help? Program is attached. I have two interrupts in the program. The first one is executed on an ext...

I receive the following error in the FC7 version but not the FC6 version; "Options have been disabled due to restricted license". This is given after the compiler is launched, and regardless of which compiler I select. Any idea why? I am attaching the code for the test program. Thank you.

I am moving from FC6 to FC7. What I am about to write does not occur to me in FC6 but does in FC7. Need help to stop it from happening in FC7. As I click on any one of the top most component button (Inputs, Outputs, Sensors, etc.), the drop down menu opens as it should. When I move my mouse to move ...

Benj, Yes, the address pins are grounded. The PIC is on my breadboard. To date, the program I have written with FC6 utilizes the USB and RS232 successfully. I have also successfully written FC6 code to write correctly to the LCD using the MCP23008 with the wiring for the Adafruit backpack. I wrote t...

Benj,

Attached is the program to test the LCD_I2C. I followed the circuitry schematic you provided earlier, which is the backpack by Adafruit.

Thank you for your help.

Gary

Thank you, Benj !

Is there a command which places the ASCII value of a one length string variable to a byte variable?

For clarity:
StringVariable[1] = "A"
ByteVariable = SomeCommand(StringVariable)

Benj, I am still working to get the MCP23008 to the LCD working using the LCD_I2C component using the schematic you provided. Please help me to understand two things. First, is the proper programing order to execute the I2C_Master initialize command and then use the LCD_I2C start command. Second, an...

Thank you, Benj. Much appreciated!

Thank you for the reply, Benj. While you state the code works for the Adurino backpack, the question really remains the same as originally stated. In order for me to utilize the Flowcode component for the LCD_I2C component, what pins from the MCP23008 goes to which pins on the LCD? The original ques...

Let me try this again. With over 60 views from my prior post, know what seems to know the answer. Someone at Matrix must know this answer. Matrix, if you cannot help, please let me know. I want to use the LCD_I2C component from the Displays available through FC6 and FC7. For what I/O expander was th...

Need help understanding the pin connections between the I2C device and the LCD for this component; Standard alphanumeric LCD based on a standard I2C control bus. I have seen many times the use of the MCP23008 I/O expander for the I2C device. Two examples ares provided in the attached graphics. I wan...

Benj, After doing various things, including repairing, then removing and reinstalling the software, I finally understand why this is happening. While the error message states alphanumeric and underscore can be used in the name, it seems the name cannot begin with a number. I appreciate your desire t...

I have a licensed FC6 Professional version. Besides the Main macro, I was able to create 20 more but when creating the next one I keep getting an error message, "The macro name supplied is invalid. Macro names can be a maximum of 32 alpha numeric characters...". The error message is stated...

Absolutely right !!! I had forgotten about that. Thank you !!!

I need your help to understand why it seems the I2C address being sent to the slave device is not as assigned to the component. I am using the I2C_LCD component and using an address of 68 ($44). When I look at the scope of the signal it appears the address being sent it twice the value. So, I decide...

I am receiving the following message during the launch of the PDFUSB programmer. I went into the directories and files to ensure I have full access within the securities setting for them.

I am just getting started using FlowCode. I need help on why the 2D Dashboard Panel is not displaying the ruler image and component images.
