 ==Create the Project==
 Create a new project by either selecting 'New Project' from the 'File' menu (File > New Project), pressing '''Ctrl+N''' on the keyboard or clicking on the '''NEW PROJECT''' button on the Start Page.
-===Templates===
+The first screen allows selection of the project type
-[[Selecting_a_Template|Templates]] are used to aid the user to work more efficiently and allow the user to expand programs much easier and create a common base to work from.
+* [[Flowcode_Embedded|Embedded]] projects are designed to be downloaded and run on a microcontroller
-Before you use Flowcode to develop a chip application you will need to choose one of these devices. Helping you make this selection is beyond the remit of this help file. Once you have made your choice of device you will need to make other choices concerning the chip and your circuit - particularly concerning clock speed.
+Flowcode supports many embedded devices and to make chip selection easier, the step-by-step process begins by selecting an embedded family.
-Before getting a program into your chip you will need to take several steps to enter data about your chip into several places:
+The "Search..." button can be used to quickly find a device.
-===Selecting device type from within Flowcode===
+The next stage of the process allows the actual chip to be selected. Sub-families in the list can be expanded or collapsed if necessary by right-clicking in the list.
-You can change devices at any time by selecting Build > Project Options. Simply select the chip type from the 'Choose a Target' (green rectangle), Or right-click on any target and select 'Search' then enter partial characters, e.g 18877.
+The "Search..." button can be used to find a specific device, or the columns can be clicked to arrange the list of targets by various features such as the number of ADC pins or the Flash memory size.

-If you are changing from one microcontroller to another, Flowcode will check that all the commands and components in your flowchart are supported by the new microcontroller. Flowcode will advise you of any potential problems.
-==Changing the clock speed==
+===Clock Speed===
 Flowcode needs to know how fast you are clocking your chip so that it can implement the delay function with the correct delay time.

 If using an internal oscillator, in a lot of cases, depending on the target, a C code block with an OSCCON or OSCFRQ value will be required - See [[Internal_Oscillator|Internal Oscillator]] and [[Component:_IntOsc_Helper_(Matrix_Tools)|IntOsc Helper component]]
