Hi Leigh and Ben, I find the document: Porting from 32F0xx to 32L0xx en.DM00145318.pdf which highlight the differences and code migrating between STM32F0xx and STM32L0xx devices. The doc suggests that this is not so hard to do, so I hope that this may help you to at least make FC working with STM32L...

HI Ben,

Is there any change in this status?
I'm specificaly interested in STM32L071CZ device

Is there any workarround that I may develop code for some supported STM32F device using FC8 and then compile it for STM32L device?

Regards,

Igor.

Hi Ben,

do you have any ETA on fixing this bug?

Igor

Hi Ben, Thank you for your reply. Yes, if I use the software I2C then it is working correctly. SM3 Soft i2c.PNG However, if I use Channel1 the i2C bus SDA and SCL stays high and no activity. The loop hangs at trying to execute first Cal command in "i2c_Read_sensors" macro (initialise is ac...

Hi Ben, I hoped that you had a chance to fix this annoying bug in the latest versions. The issue is if the string concatenation statement contains more then two items: In my example the "Var_name" is an Parameter and in this example is set to "This is a test 1234567823 Var:" , th...

Hi Ben, I discovered that the I2C is not working when compiled to the target hardware. The compiler is MPLAB XC8 Pro. As soon as any of the cal macro control are issued to the bus the main loop will hang. I'm using the I2c code using CAL which works successfully with some other FC8 project and proce...

Hi Guys, I'm about to buy some libraries which are only delivered as precompiled binary and header files for a specific processor. Is there any document which describes how we can import this so we can use it within Flowcode. The library is an implementation of a communication protocol with SPI driv...

Hi Guys, Can somebody help me with USB master implementation? I need to make the device which will read the USB scanner (USB Master) and forward the data to two PC simultaneously ( USB slave HID). Since the scanner is like a keyboard, I hope that standard keyboard HID would work here. FC8 has suppor...

Hi Ben, I'm pushed to use STM32L processors (STM32L151C6T6). I just wondering since FC8 has only support for STM32F, is it possible for me to create a design using STM32F and then port it (compile) for the STM32L device? I noticed that some of the 'F" and "L" devices have the same pin...

Hi Guys, I'm about to start my first project with PIC32 I use to do things with PIC18. I need to get a connection to external parallel RAM (it is actually SDRAM but I will make the FPGA based controller interface to work around). The PIC will see FPGA connection as ordinary parallel SRAM. I do not n...

Hi Guys, Could somebody explain the procedure how to correctly upgrade the XC compiler in FC8? I downloaded the XC8 compiler from Microchip web site and successfully installed it (version 2.00) however when I execute the compile from FC8 it runs the XC8.exe from FC8 compilers directory, and the vers...

Hi Steve, no, I was not aware. SCADA is then the only module which I haven't purchase. I will have a look. I guess the module name is a bit misleading what actually module provides. What is not clear from the description, apart of predefined libraries component can we create own component with speci...

Hi Leigh,

I'm trying to purchase the Flowkit2 but have no success. Matrix online site payment is not working (for Australia).
I sent a few mails to your sales guys but no reply. What I can do to get hands on the board.
Could somebody help me please.

Regards,

Igor

Thanks for reply. Yes i logged in to my account and select option to download FC8 licence, as i got the licence file and key which i placed manually. I also copy and paste my username, but to luck (which was showing on that page. The message is the same being automatic or manual. I believe something...

Hi Guys, I tried to activate today the FC8 on my laptop PC, but for some reason, I'm getting "Activation failed: This key does not match the user name provided". This is happening with automatic and also with manual registration: Activation failed.PNG I managed a few months ago to activate...

Hi Guys, I'm not sure if this is related to V8 only, but i'm trying to get it going using the FC8. This is related to the "USB serial" communication component in FC8. I get USB serial transferring data to and from Windows 10 application all working fine. As long there is a connection, and ...

Thanks for doing this!

Any chance to disclose what have you changed?

Hi Ben, I just spotted that the definition file appears to be incorrect for PIC8F47J53: I noticed that the I2C port Channel 1 have incorrect association of the SCL and SDA pins. Channel 1: SCL currently $PORTC.3 should be $PORTB.4 SDA currently $PORTC.4 should be $PORTB.5 How this can be corrected. ...

Hi Ben,
Did ESP32 actually made it in to the FC8?
I can not see it in any of target list.

Igor

Hi guys,

Great work! I confirm both modes are working now well! I tested this on Mote board.
Thanks for doing this!

Igor

Thank you for hands up.
I'm usually getting the largest device anyway, as I commonly running out of data space also because of my debugging process.
Do you know if the program space is consumed or the data space?
Do you know, from your experience, a percentage which ghost takes?

Thank you for quick reply, I had a look in to the PDF doc but it is not explaining how the debugger is actually connected (configured). I can see under the Ghost Options -> Settings that there are 'Flowkit 2 Settings', are those ports settings (clock and data port) related to the current project (sa...

Perfect! Is there any documentation which describes the Ghost 'load' in terms of resource requirements? How this can be used; where the Ghost option is enabled for project? I looked in to the 'Ghost options' and associated help but this is relay not explaining actual use of the Flowkit 2 use and set...

Hi FC guys, In many projects which I was doing using the FC I always created the debugging procedure for actual hardware which was printing out messages on dedicated serial (UART or USB) port. Then I was reading this messages in the comm window on my pc in order to debug the system. That worked very...

I never tried to do this, but i hope it is possible. I would like to reuse the driver modules with source in C in a FC8 project. What would be the best practice to do so to import working C project or part of it? Here is a practical example. There is a display driver as part of the working project i...
