Hello Seb,
There is some information here on the wiki.
If you need further help let me know.
Is the component you would like to create for the general public or to remain private?

How to create new MCU and update MCU?
Make sure Flowcode is closed.
Copy and paste in windows explorer

Code: Select all

%ProgramData%\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV10\FCD
Then select the directory that is for the type of MCU you would like to add e.g. PIC, ARD, ARM etc.
Open the fcdx file that is nearest to the MCU you want to create.
Save the fcdx in the name of target MUC to be created keeping it within the same directory.
Edit the fcdx for your new MCU.
For the fcdx to take effect, you will need to run Flowcode and select the new MCU you created.
Every time you make changes you will need to reload your project.
Note there won't be any fields within Choose a target e.g Pins , Max MHz etc.

A while ago, I created the attached worked example for creating a component. You might find this useful too.

I always fail with this at step 6. I tried it again today (After giving up months ago) thinking I had incapacity to read but failed again. Maybe I do have reading problems?
I have yet to create a component

That document could probably be more clear.

In step 6, you "select the rot component" in the dropdown at the top of the "properties" window.

Or is it the step to create the "propType" property that is where the problem is?
