Flowcode example file

Download SIMAPI_Panel_Position_GetCoords and open it in Flowcode v6. In this example a sphere and a LCD are shown on the system panel. When the program starts, the position of the sphere is returned into an existing Float Array variable containing the X,Y,Z coordinates. The coordinates are then displayed on the LCD display. Be aware in this example the LCD display is showing integer values. The floats are cast to ints. The screenshots below show the effect and also highlight the code used by the example.
