 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light-emitting_diode '''Light-emitting diode''' ('''LED''')] components are also commonly used and are often matched / coupled with switch components to indicate if an element is powered on or functioning correctly. LEDs are mostly used as indicators in common applications and systems such as traffic lights and car indicators which are visual ques and indications to convey direction and processes.
 Furthermore [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LCD '''liquid-crystal display''' ('''LCD''')] components are used in a similar way to indicate processes albeit more clearly, displaying information such as the function or process of a DVD player e.g. opening and closing the disc tray, reading the disc, changing volume etc. or displaying ongoing information such as the time and date and other information such as news or current information.
 The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7_segment_display '''seven-segment display''' ('''SSD''')] displays are also used to convey information albeit less complex then the LCD, this component can clearly and simply display numbers with ease. It has great compatibility within Flowcode as it is controlled simply by inputting the digit to be displayed and a digit to enable/show or disable/hide the decimal point on the display. The component also works with variables instead of simply the digit, this allows other components to manipulate this variable to change the digit to be displayed by the 7 Segment Display.

 Finally, the [[Component: ID b80e57b1 8941 4831 878b b27440b4f4d8|'''Keypad''']] component is the most effective component for inputting data such as variables in order to manipulate and operate other components interactively using variables to transfer the data. The [[Component: ID b80e57b1 8941 4831 878b b27440b4f4d8|Keypad Base]] component has a basic set of numbers (0-9) as well as A and B digits, if programmed correctly a keypad component can write alphabetical letters, numerical digits as well as ASCII symbols which can then be used to transfer the data for a different component to display for example, an LCD which can display an array of different data and information such as; strings, alphanumerical digits and characters as well as ASCII symbols and data.

 The [[Component: ID 953a042a b2aa 4f2e 94e2 ee2979cfc92e|'''Switch''']] components are the simplest type of component available, they are used as triggers to send a command in a program, e.g. an on or off switch to initialize and disable or stop a program, process or system. Switch components come in two types; 'latching' such as an on/off switch or toggle switches, and 'momentary' such as a push button switch or a push-to-make switch.
