Flowcode 8 is Matrix’s programming software for electronic and electromechanical system development targeting microcontrollers such as Arduino, PIC and ARM, and rugged industrial interfaces using protocols such as Modbus and CAN.
It’s great for users looking for a text-based programming method but who might find the quirks of the C programming language complicated and difficult to learn.
It includes a new feature that allows users to program in Pseudocode, a method of programming based on users creating programs based on instructions, as opposed to traditional scripted code such as C, or graphical code. Users can enjoy all the benefits of an imperative, linear, text-based programming style, but without the difficulties that come with producing code that must be understood by a compiler.
It’s a great way to teach programming to beginners, allowing them to understand important coding concepts such as loops, conditional statements, and variable assignment, but in a simple and easy-to-use way.
You can create, delete and manipulate icons, simulate your program, and compile the results to hardware. Watch this video or contact us to learn more.
