Do the Flow charts work across different processors?

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.
James :-}

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.
