Hi all,
Iam trying to animate this time, the rotary encoder along side with a dc motor. As you can see on my flowchart. How can i get the animation to happen at the same time for the rotary and motor without me pressing on mouse? Thanks

Rod

Hi Rod,

This one is tricky, we added it for Flowcode 9 so you can link the encoder to the motor via a coupling or gearbox and then it just happens but it's not in for v8. Can you use the v9 trial to see if it does what you want.

Doing it in v8 might be possible but it will likely mean adding some simulation calls as the component wasn't designed to be able to do this.
