This package is a bundle of Flowcode 4 for PIC and Flowcode 4 for AVR, and Flowcode for ARM. When you purchase this you will receive 3 CD ROMs. Details of the functionality and content of the CD ROMs are available separately.

Flowcode 4 is a very high-level language programming system for PICmicro and AVRmicro microcontrollers based on flowcharts. Flowcode allows you to design and simulate complex PIC-based robotics and control systems by simply drawing a flow chart of your desired program in a matter of minutes, even without any prior programming skills.

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

How Flowcode Works

Flowcode is built on a C compiler - Boost C. This is a general-purpose 8/16 bit compiler designed specifically for PICmicro devices.

Flowcode generates a C code file from the flow chart that you create. This C-code is automatically compiled into assembler code by the BoostC compiler and then translated into a Hex machine code file using Microchip's MPASM assembler.

Any third-party PIC programmer then can be used to download the resulting Hex file into the target PIC's program memory.

If Flowcode is used with an optional training and development board, then this whole operation of compiling assembling and downloading is carried out with one button, providing a totally seamless PICmicro development tool. Flowcode also is tightly integrated with the E-Blocks range of hardware devices.
