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

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.
