Big thanks to the developers of Flowcode

Post by billduck »

I want to thank MM and the developers of Flowcode, as I, a non-programmer, was able to write a program to make a photovoltaic array point toward the sun - follow the sun - throughout the day. The program has a real time clock (I2C) to look up the time and date. It has a serial LCD (RS232) to display important information to the user, and a set of relays (another I2C) to turn on an azimuth motor and an elevation motor. I had 2 goals in mind when I purchased FC. One was to write the program, and of course, learn how to use Flowcode. I suspect I could teach a class on it, after all the trials I went thru. I am still developing good program skills. And still learning all the capabilities of FC.
Thanks for all your help! Bill Swann

Hi Bill.

I'm glad you have found Flowcode useful - one of the main aims of Flowcode is to allow people with little of no experience of programming to write software for electronic projects like yours.

Although I'd like to point out a slight error in your post: Given that you've made a program that does all you describe, you should call yourself an "ex-non-programmer" :D
