Hi Bill,

As your programming with the PICkit, you can see the revision of the various chips.

For example.

Connecting to MPLAB PICkit 3...

Currently loaded firmware on PICkit 3
Firmware Suite Version.....01.50.04
Firmware type..............PIC18F

Programmer to target power is enabled - VDD ...

Hi Everyone,

I have just discovered something very odd and maybe someone could enlighten me to what could be happening?

Some may know that I have had some issues with trying to get the little PIC sleep current down close to specs for my LED project, as the 0.260mA at 3V was just to much, and also ...

Hi everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas.

I’m hoping that by saying what I’m about to doesn’t break any forum rules however, can anyone offer any advice to where I can go to get someone to design a circuit and code for my project, and code that will work in Flowcode 7?

Simply put, it has ...

Saying this, the simple PIC12 is already proving much more viable than what we were considering previously. So far, our little dev board is on an automated test bed to simulate a user pressing the button and it has been running for almost 18 hours without fail and which equates to about 2 years of ...

Hi Bill,
What you will find with experience is there are neater ways of achieving the same results.
Take a look at the attached Flowchart.
The << just means shift all the bits one to the left.
This is the same as x result by 2

Thanks Martin,

I sort of get it :? Still got a lot to learn ...

Hi Matt,

thank you for the info. The circuit and device I have been sharing is only a very small part in an overall multi-item system of products that has been in development for over 18 months, most of which are already built and ready to go and which doesn't include electronics. Initially we had ...

A BIG THANK YOU to all, I now have a working a stable chip and circuit :D

Not quite sure why the clock speed change hadn't registered correctly as I had changed it but already realised that this was the reason for the timing being out although this wasn't critical. It is now set and can confirm ...

Again, many thanks for your help Martin. I will have a good look at this later when I'm back at base camp.

Cheers
Bill

Many thanks Martin.

I have made some changes to the original code, to add back in one of the loops that I originally had but took out for trouble shooting, and the updated version is attached along with the circuit.

Without the switch, this circuit worked great and was proving to be reliable, it ...

Many thanks to all for your help, much appreciated.

In order to stave off the effects of unemployment, I'm looking to bring a product to market early next year which in a small part needs four or five LED's that light in different patterns depending on which version of the product the PCB if ...

Hi,

Many thanks for the quick response. I have been following the guides on the Matrix website and using the "Active High" config as in the link.

Could the issue be in the way I have Flowcode configured as the code isn't working with the switch in the simulator, so wouldn't expect it to work for ...

Hi Everyone,

This is my first ever post on the Matrix forums and I’m hoping that someone can offer some help and advice on a little project I’m working on.

Firstly a little about me. I’m no programmer (hence my interest in Flowcode), and I’m also no electronics guru, more of a general designer ...
