Flowcode Report

This document provides instructions for creating a program using Flowcode 7 software. It explains that Flowcode 7 allows programming microcontrollers by dragging and dropping icons onto a flowchart. It then outlines the steps to set up a new project, including selecting a microcontroller, adding inputs like switches and outputs like LEDs by dragging the appropriate icons onto the flowchart, and simulating the program.

Flowcode Report

Here on Flowcode there are many different types of things that can be
controlled. In this report they will be use of input and outputs, icons(drag and
drop), setting up the inputs, adding LEDs, adding the switches, adding LCD and
simulating the program.
First thing that must be done in order to the programme is download and
install ‘Flowcode 7’.
‘Flowcode 7’ works with a range of Microcontrollers, including PIC, Arduino
and ARM. ‘Flowcode 7’ itself is microcontroller neutral- it presents virtually the
same user interface regardless of the microcontroller used. The differences are
in the hardware and the way the program is downloaded. ‘Flowcode 7’ allows
you to create microcontroller applications by dragging and dropping icons on
to a flowchart to create programs. These can control external devices attached
to the microcontroller such as LEDs, LCDs displays etc.
Once the flow has been designed its behaviour can be simulated in
‘Flowcode7’ before the flowchart is compiled, assembled and transferred to a
microcontroller.
First screen that can be seen is to create a new flowchart or open an existing
flowchart. Then a microcontroller must be selected once a microcontroller has
been selected on the next screen the flowchart can now be made, on the left
of the screen there is may different icons that can be used for the flowchart by
dragging and dropping into the program.
Inputs and output; Inputs allows the user to insert either calculations into the
flowchart or things like switches and Output will be what has been put into
input like an LED.
Flowcode Report
Adding LEDs is fairly simple all that needs to be done is drop down the outputs
icon select which LED that is needed for the task after which a small box should
appear on the bottom of the screen with the LED in it in this box it can be
positioned. Once it has been positioned it can be dragged and dropped into
the program. Adding switches is much the same as adding an LED but instead
dropping down the input icon select which switch is to be used once again
positioning it and again dragging and dropping into the program. After
completing the program it can be ran by simulating it which it is fairly easy. At
the top of the screen the is an icon that looks like a play button once pressed it
will start to simulate the program but the speed to which it comes on can be
manipulated when another box will appear to adjust the speed of the program.

This is a completed program


after the inputs and the outputs have been inserted and the simulation has
been carried out.
