This will only work on Flowcode V8 (For component that works on both Flowcode V7 & V8 - See post Mon Jun 01, 2020)
1. Create a user component directory on your hard drive.
2. Within Flowcode select View, Global Options then select Location tab
3. Within Look for components in...box, enter the path you will be placing the attached component.
4. Save Flowchart & click on the reload icon
The Map Function component should now be found within User category.
For functions within the component, you can select different variable types.
This should to help to keep the space use on the target device as low as possible.
These are the functions:

Example 1.
Output from a temperature sensor is in centigrade.
you can map it to give the result in Fahrenheit.
To do that set: InMin to 0, InMax 100, OutMin to 32 & OutMax to 212 & ClampMinMax as 0:
- Map Function UInt - C to F.png (69.49 KiB) Viewed 15271 times
For example if the temperature sensor is at 120 deg C the value of the variable going in to the map function will be 120.
The returned value will be 248.
If you don't want a higher value than OutMax then set ClampMinMax as 1.
E.g you could could a variable with a wide range and only a narrow range is required.
Example 2.
You have a pot which produces ADC from 0 to 255.
You want to convert it to 10 to 100 as you don't want PWM to drop below 10%
To do that set: InMin to 0, InMax 255, OutMin to 10 & OutMax to 100 & ClampMinMax as 0
You don't need ClampMinMax at 1 since the pot value will not be below 0 or above 255
A tip for using the analogue pot during simulation.
Select View, Analog InputsLeft click the Rough value required, keep mouse button pressed in.
While pressed in, press left and right arrow buttons on your keyboard to alter value by 1 at a time.
