I believe that this program was once available for anyone wishing to work on new modules, Is it still available or when can we expect it to be re-released

Hello Goldwingers

I believe that a Flowcode V3 SDK will be released shortly but Steve will need to confirm this.

"Shortly" is a subjective term! I would dearly love to get a useable SDK out there, but at the moment the creation of a component involves some non-trivial Windows programming (e.g. you would need to be at least an average VB programmer with COM knowledge, as well as knowing about C programming for PICmicros).

I think we'll aim for the summer to get a useable SDK out.

Has the VB5 SDK been released yet? I can only find an SDK for V2 but I assume that won't work with V3 (in fact I suspect it won't work for any version because the module1.bas file appears to be missing).

We have decided not to offer an SDK at this time because of the amount of work it would require.

If you require a new component that does not need any simulation capability, you can use the "custom component" to add your own C code routines.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that. The helpfile for this component (custom.hlp) doesn't seem to exist (at least not on my harddrive). Can you point me to a download link?

There is no help file for this component. It was added as an optional and unsupported extra for advanced users.

The associated "Custom_Code.c" file does all the work. If you look at this, it might help you see what is required.

If you do have any specific questions regarding this component, please ask via this forum and we'll try to help.
