| − | The task is to produce a Flowcode flowchart that lights a lamp for ten seconds when a switch is pressed.<br />
| |
| − | Although it may not be realistic to use a microcontroller in such a straight-forward application, it illustrates the technique of producing a Flowcode program.<br />
| |
| − | The program itself may form part of a bigger program.

| − | * Drag and drop a 'Loop' icon between the Begin and End icons.
| |
| − | : The 'Loop' icon makes the microcontroller repeatedly run through the program, (though the icon can be configured to limit the number of times this happens.)
