Hello
I have done a program to test the EB076 E.Block. It runs in simulation but when I try to compile I get the following errors:
gLCDTest2.c


Starting preprocessor: C:\PROGRA~2\Flowcode\v5\Tools\boostc\pp.exe gLCDTest2.c -i C:\PROGRA~2\Flowcode\v5\Tools\boostc\include -d _PIC18F4550 -la -c2 -o gLCDTest2.pp -v -d _BOOSTC -d _PIC18 -d _CHAR_INDEX

failure

.....Return code = 1

Any idea what this is and how to fix it?

Edit:
This happens when E-Block EB076 or EB071 is selected. With other E-Block modules it works.

Hello,

I think there is some updated C code to come when the 4D displays get their official release shortly.

Oh.. I thought it wa released since you can buy the EB071 in the webshop.
Any idea how long it will take before the 4D displays are released?

Hello,

Hopefully by the end of the day if not the week for sure.

Hello
I see that you have added some more of the 4D displays to the webshop.
Is the updated gLCD component available for download somewhere?

Hello beambase,

here are the updated c files.

Put the one with CAL in the title into the CAL folder, then the other 3 go into the components folder, maybe wise to make a backup of the old ones.

Yes.... it kind of works. I can compile and run projects that is using the 4D displays. But then I try to compile a projec that has the RS232 function in it, it fails and I get a lot of error messages abot unsigned charachters. Switching back to the old CAL file solves the problem. But then compiling 4D projects fails.

Hello,

Yes we know about this problem and hopefully there will be an update release for Flowcode PIC shortly. Do you need to be able to compile to the 4D displays yet?

If you do then we can maybe provide you with the updated CAL and RS232 component set to solve all the problems.

Yes it would be good. I havea project that will use both the 4D display AND RS232component.

Hello
any news about the updated c file that works both with the 4D displays and the RS232 component?
Can you estimate when it will be released for upload?

Thanks

Hello,

We have a full update release on the way but for now here are the files to get you up and running.
