Hey all.
Its a long time since I have played with Flowcode ( I think I bought version 6 )and Arduinos and things have changed a bit. Just looking at putting an Arduino into a small project and went off to look at things. I notoced there are now TCP Network shields available for varios boards. Is there any chance that there is an available combination of an Arduino board, a network shield and Flowcode? I would love to be able to get info from the board in mqtt or Modbus back to an IOT system but would consider trying anything

Re: Arduino and networking
Hi
I'm not overly familiar with using FC with any shields. If the shield uses standard connections (e.g. UART Tx/Rx) then you should just be able to use the Generic UART component.
A very cost effective way to provide wifi comms is to use an ESP8266 and control using the UART component.
Many options open to you depending on your requirements.
