FLOWCODE V3 (Hobbyist/Student)

Flowcode is a very high level language programming system for PICmicro microcontrollers based on flowcharts. Flowcode allows you to design and simulate complex robotics and control systems in a matter of minutes.

Flowcode is a powerful language that uses macros to facilitate the control of complex devices like 7-segment displays, motor controllers and l.c.d. displays. The use of macros allows you to control these electronic devices without getting bogged down in understanding the progamming involved.

Flowcode produces MPASM code which is compatible with virtually all PICmicro programmers. When used in conjunction with the Version 2 development board this provides a seamless solution that allows you to program chips in minutes.

• Requires no programming experience

• Allows complex PICmicro applications to be designed quickly

• Uses international standard flow chart symbols (IS05807)

• Full on-screen simulation allows debugging and speeds up the development process

• Facilitates learning via a full suite of demonstration tutorials

• Produces ASM code for a range of 8, 18, 28 and 40-pin devices

• New features in version 3 include 16 bit arithmetic, strings and string manipulation, improved graphical user interface and printing, support for 18 series devices, pulse width modulation, I2C , new ADC component and many more.The Hobbyist/Student version is limited to 4K of code (8K on 18F devices).

This offer gives you two seperate CDROMs in DVD style cases - the software will need registering (Free) with Designsoft (TINA) and Matrix Multimedia (Flowcode), details are given within the packages.
