Flowcode 9 in Linux

Post by VIDEOMED »

I have a question?
Has anyone tried to run Flowcode 9 on Linux (preferably Debian)
Tried using Wine and PlayonLinux.
Unfortunately I was not able to run.
The main window works. Floating windows lock up when you enter a project

Hello Videomed

I tried to get V6 to run on Linux Mint back in 2019 - with no success because Wine can NOT be used to install or utilize Windows drivers.

Hope this helps

Any progress with a web version - though I suspect 'downloading' the code to the MCU might pose some issues.. There is a web based Arduino IDE for example which manages this at least for some platforms..

Platform neutral though - Android to Windows via Linux and MacOS... Sorted :-)

We looked at the possibility of a web-based version and this would be our preferred route, but there were a few things preventing us progressing this. Simulation was the biggest issue. So I think the main Flowcode development will need to be done under Windows for now. However, we are making some good progress with web-based Flowcode apps. Too early to be specific, but I'm hopeful.

Sounds good - I'd already 'invented' the esp32 based USBTiny (the Tiny32 ?) and PicKit32 - that would download the compiled program and upload to MCU :-)
