I downloaded the fc v5 trial yesterday, i like it, today i register @ mm only to find you have to register separate credentials for this forum o.O , and now i have to upgrade my account in order to ask a question in the v5 sub-forum!

A notice in the registration page @ mm should have denoted such things and the usual pinned "How to use this forum for noobs" should be the first item and detail some caveats for using the forum & sub forums.

Hi Justin & welcome to the forums.

now i have to upgrade my account in order to ask a question in the v5 sub-forum!

Not if you have Free edition of V5.
You can post here:
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... m.php?f=49

You only need to register for the other V5 sections if you purchase a Flowcode licence.
Only If that's the case then your will need to follow this link:
http://www.matrixmultimedia.com/mmforum ... ?f=46&t=99

If you need any help just ask away.
For learning about Flowcode there is an excellent learning center with free courses and examples here:

FAQ here:

As for help on each component.
After dragging component on your panel, just right click on component and select help.

More advice can be found by following the link on my signature.

Most of all have fun!
Flowcode does make developing software for microcontrollers so much easier.

It's a larger learning curve, when the information available is inaccurate or malformed.

Pity the examples for avr do not exist! Nor are the v5 examples for avr, only pic. So one must install flowcode for pic in order to understand avr
@ least supply one 16F84A, with the trials, so we can follow regardless of mcu choice.

Try placing an ADC component on panel to attach to the chip for avr input, doesn't work!

That's because an0 is for pic, ain0 is for avr though

Hi Justin,

You can use the file -> import menu to open Flowcode PIC files into Flowcode for AVR.

AN0 in the ADC channel selection is simply a device independent reference to analogue input 0.

So which AVR mcu is compatible with the PIC 16F ? Does this mean, it is taken for granted that a beginner who chooses AVR will know this?

ADC inputs work exceptionally well with fc_pic with no problems, but not so well at all with AVR on fc_avr.

Hello Justin,

We appreciate the comments and we do understand that it looks like there are no AVR examples, in the latest version there are no separate file types for the different versions as every Flowchart can be used on any chip type.

Unfortunately the problem you have highlighted exists if you do not have the exact same PIC chip type as the one the example was created for, hardware pins may be vastly different and certain PORTS may not even exist, so the same problem exists if you have an 18F chip you want to use the examples with as almost all our examples are written with 16F chips, and im sure you can understand that writing examples files for every available chip wouldnt be practical.

However there is still a gap in our support maybe here and we could have an instructional video or tutorial going through how to analyse the pins used in the examples and change the connections to the appropriate ones for the chip you require. Maybe in our examples we should head them up with a comment which highlights the hardware peripherals and I/O your chip needs to have to be able to use the example.

If you do require help Importing any file into your AVR project please let us know and we will try and help.

Hi Justin ive added a reply and flowchart for you to look at on your other thread
