FlowCode: Visual Programming IDE for Electronic Systems

Discover FlowCode, a powerful visual programming IDE for developing electronic and microcontroller systems. Drag-and-drop interface for creating diagrams that compile into code.

What is FlowCode?

FlowCode is a visual programming application used primarily for developing electronic and microcontroller based systems. It utilizes a graphical programming language that allows users to create system diagrams by dragging and dropping function blocks, which can then be compiled into C code for microcontrollers.

Some key features of FlowCode include:

  • Graphical programming interface to visualize system diagrams
  • Large library of built-in functions for common electronic modules and microcontroller peripherals
  • Generates highly optimized C code for various microcontrollers such as PIC, AVR, 8051, and ARM
  • Built-in simulation and debugging tools
  • Support for hardware debugging via JTAG/SWD interfaces
  • Functionality for creating GUIs, data logging, communications, measurements, and more
  • Additional hardware support through FlowKit addons
  • Both free and paid licensing options available

FlowCode simplifies the firmware development process by enabling those without extensive coding experience to graphically represent complex electronic and control systems, making it well suited for hobbyists, students, and engineers alike.
