FLOWKIT 2

[DavidJ]

HI

Have not used my ARDUINO FLOWKIT 2 for a while using (flow code which used to work fine

But it now appears not to be working correctly giving error message ie after activating icd I have successfully compiled and saved to Arduino but I get

"chip does not contain latest icd build "

Note I also have just tried using my old Flowcode 6 and it works fine with exactly the same hardware

This would perhaps suggest an issue relating to current Flowcode 8 release

Can you please check and advise

Best Regards

Hello,

We have tried to replicate the problem and so far can't seem to. If you step in rather then clicking play does this make any difference.

Also can you confirm you're not using pins D0 and D1 in your program.

Hi

Step into makes no difference
No pins connected to anything except flowkit 2 Arduino

Note using exactly the same hardware (Arduino UNO) and most simple loop program for both the Flowcode 6 and 8 tests

I notice on Flowcode 6 the icd pins are D8 & D9
when run on Flowcode 8 I notice these change to D0 D1

I notice you now cannot change the default icd settings anymore

So

1. Still does not appear to work on current Flowcode 8 any more ideas to resolve

2. Also why did you appear to change the default to DO D1 when running Flowcode 8 as this is used a lot in applications as it is the UNO only hardware serial port
Being able in the past to use D8 D9 was much better as allowed user to still use serial port
Why not allow user to choose the ICD pins to use as before rather than your default

Well spotted.
Default for clock should be D9 PB1, data should be D8 PB0.
I don't recall us changing these, but that's not what is in the FCDs.
Which particular Uno target are you using (R3, PDIP, SMD?)
I can then edit an FCD version for you to try.

HI

Arduino UNO R3 PDIP

Hi,
Please try the attached FCD.
Drop this into directory C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV8\FCD\ARD
Restart Flowcode
Then change your project target to Arduino Uno R3 PDIP Flowkit
