Do the Flow charts work across different processors?

Post by Sparkoids »

Will a Flowcode program for a Pic work on Flowcode AVR or Arm without modification?

And whilst I'm here do all the EBlocks work with all processors....

Please.

Hi James,

In most cases yes this should work ok. Some components e.g. the USB components are not supported by all Flowcode versions. Similarily with E-blocks most should work without issues but for example the USB E-block will only currently work with 8-bit PICs.

What components and E-blocks did you have in mind?

Hi Ben,

It was the USB EBlock I had in mind!

Thanks for the prompt reply....

Aha I see,

The USB E-block would work with the 16-bit PIC devices but the pin outs for the USB signals are different and we did not include a patch system on the board as we did not want to put too much strain on the high speed USB signals. The next time the board is ordered I will try to do a revision to take this problem into account either by adding a patch system if we can get away with it or by adding more jumper options.
