Formula Flowcode, Flowcode v8 is great to use, but .....

I have problems with the switches, IR sensors and the line followers.
How can I select which of the three IR sensors I want to use?
Or how which of the two switches?

I have looked at the examples from version 3, but I am unable to recreate ...

It functions!!!
Awesome!!

Contrary to what I thought, the Formula Flowcode buggy is available in Flowcode V8.
The first program on the robot works; it turns left and right.
I am now going to further discover what else is possible.
And now let's hope that my grandson will also become enthusiastic ...

Thanks for the suggestion
I will try
I am only concerned that the Formula Flowcode is no longer available

In any case, thanks in advance for the help

Thanx.

file.c
file.fcf

I am compiling to chip.

Thanx.

The Formula Flowcode is now visible in device manager:
Custom USB Devices I see Formula Flowcode Buggy!

LED's D4 and D5 on the Formula Flowcode flash alternately

But when uploading now I get the following:
File name: F:\Flowcode ...

Thanks for the quick answer. Unfortunately no progress yet.

"Right clicking the .inf file" gives:
The operation is completed, but in "device management" in device manager i still see an unknown device

Downloading de file on "https://www.flowcode.co.uk/old_site/resources/get ... e.php?id=1" gives ...

In my time as an electronics teacher, I worked with the Formula Flowcode until my retirement in 2010. When I quit, it was also the end of the electronics course; too few students. Unfortunately. I took home the Formula Flowcode robot and software, otherwise it would probably end up in a corner and ...
