Brand new features
Here are some of the new features available in Flowcode 8. Please click on a feature to learn more about it.
Component changes and additions
CAL components such as ADC, I2C, PWM, SPI and UART are now free to allow for more user-based component creation and library generation.
High-level components created by Matrix are still licensed under the various component feature packs.
We also have a large selection of component, CAL and FCD updates.
New components
Some of the new components include:
- FAT Based GLCD Bitmap Drawer
 - New sensor components
 - Network abstraction component for TCP/IP and WIFI modules
 - E-block specific categories
 - Scenario simulation components and wiki based curriculum
 - Graphical LCD Graph drawer
 - Arduino style serial terminal - via the console
 - Raspberry Pi specific - Console Text Generation, TCP/IP
 - Raspberry Pi HDMI gLCD
 - Modbus TCP - Master and Slave
 - DAC MCP48x1
 - HTS221
 - ESP12S
 - PCF8575
 - SHT31 Humidity Sensor
 - WAV Playback and Record
 - RealSpeak
 - Bluetooth RN4677
 - Various new Grove sensors
 - HBridge CAL
 
Component improvements
- CAL components are more usable and stand alone, injector, scope and console functionality is now built in making it much easier to build into your own components
 - Bitmap Drawer component - more bitmap file formats (Mono, 16-Colour, 256-Colour, 24-bit) and up to ten bitmaps per component
 - Servo motor 16-bit mode
 - PWM Frequency based Period and Prescaler calculator
