This exercise assumes that you have created the program described in exercises Configuring Icons and Variables and Adding Devices to a Program.
Documenting the flowchart is essential in some projects, although we have properly labelled the icons, a few comment icons helps to further explain the program and the process in further detail to aid expansion and helps others understand the system.
Load the Flowcode flowchart
- Open the flowchart, called 'Lamp1.fcf' which you created in the exercise Adding Devices to a Program.
- (For help with this, see the article Opening an Existing Flowchart)
Why document your flowcharts?
Documenting your flowchart is very useful - it allows other users to understand your flowchart and allows them to learn and even add to your flowchart to help produce the final program and increase efficiency throughout the system.
