Flowcode is a graphical programming Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that allows you to develop highly functional electrical, electronic and electromechanical
systems for microcontroller based systems and for Windows PCs and tablets.
Flowcode Embedded allows you to easily create highly functional programs for popular microcontrollers.
Flowcode App Developer allows you to create great Human Machine Interfaces for Windows PCs and tablets interfacing to hardware systems and low cost input output boards
- locally (USB/Buetooth) or remotely (Wi-Fi, LAN, Internet).
EASY TO USE
Flowcode's graphical programming interface allows those with little or no programming experience to develop complex electronic systems with ease.
Drag and drop icons onto the workspace, to create simple or complex programs easily. Global and local variables in neat organised lists, create
functions with a graphical interface.
SIMULATION
Flowcode includes a simulation engine which simulates at a component level and at a system level.
This allows you to validate your design on-screen before deployment, shortening design time and increasing system integrity.
Components are open source so you can design your own components and systems based on the ones supplied.
TARGET INDEPENDENT
Use the same code for different target devices, create a program for a tiny 8pin PIC10 device, then scale it up immediately by changing to a PIC32 or ARM device. A few simple
config changes and you are up and running on your new device with the same program in moments.
Switch between any PIC, AVR, ARM, ESP or Raspberry Pi boards, or even PC applications with Flowcode App Developer. Explore all our target devices here.
MULTIPLE CODING PARADIGMS
Flowcode allows you to use the best coding technique for your project:
You can program in flow charts, blocks, C code and pseudocode and transfer seamlessly between these paradigms.
Flowcharts: Simple drag and drop, visualise your code and create easy to understand programs with this coding method.
Blocks: Similar to other visual coding methods, this is useful for those who are used to visualising their program in this method.
C code: Using our C code interpreter you can program in C and use Flowcode.
Pseudocode: Write using plain language with a structured convention to create your programs.
Data flow programming: Describe your program in standard process chart symbols – great for DSP applications and communications.
State diagrams: Develop programs using state machines and call C code or flow chart macros in the transitions between states.
HUGE COMPONENT LIBRARY
Flowcode includes a huge library of components and subroutines from simple input devices and sensors through to complex communications systems including USB, Wifi, and Bluetooth.
