Matrix user forums

I had exactly the same problem and tried several things.
In V5 it worked fine on all PWM outputs... In V6 only on RA3 and 4.
Thanks to you all. Such a forum is a great thing!

Dear all,

I'm trying to send a string with max. length of 100*8=800 characters to an ECIO40 ?

Any suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,

I'm not sure about Flowcode, but most programming languages expect a "seed" value to be used.
So, try to use random(256) instead of random.
This would mean a random value between 0 and 256 -1 will be returned.

Boostc translates this into the operand rand() but when translating into asm the following errors appear:
error: invalid operand 'rand()'
error: failed to ...
