API (RPI) component

Connects to a Raspberry Pi running the API Firmware allowing the board to become a slave to the Flowcode Embedded simulation or Flowcode App Developer. Supports: Digital IO / I2C / SPI / PWM / UART See Flowcode Help Wiki for firmware.

Component Source Code

Please click here to download the component source project: FC_Comp_Source_RPI_API_Comp.fcfx

Please click here to view the component source code (Beta): FC_Comp_Source_RPI_API_Comp.fcfx

Detailed description

The App Developer (RaspberryPi) component allows an Raspberry Pi to be controlled from within the Flowcode simulation runtime.

To allow Flowcode to communicate and control the Raspberry Pi hardware the board must first be pre-programmed with dedicated firmware.

The firmware file and Flowcode source project can be downloaded from here.

RPI App Developer Firmware

More information about the workings of the firmware project can be found on the FiniteStateMachine page.


The IP Address to the Raspberry Pi hardware is selected via the SCADA_RPI component IP Address property.

When building the component into a App Developer project remember to expose the IP Address property to allow the end user to select the correct address for the hardware.


The console window can display data in two modes which is set via a component property.

  • fixed statistics showing IO / ADC inputs / PWM
  • scrolling log showing all commands and returns


Examples

Pin Mapping

Here is a table showing how the App Developer Slave digital pins are mapped on the device.
