The Base components are designed to provide a simplified interface to create a new component by packing in most of the functionality and then allowing you to wrap your own personalised graphical user interface around.


Several base components currently exist in Flowcode to allow you to create several different kinds of components.

  • LED Mono User Images - [2D] A simple LED allowing . In embedded mode displays the connecting pin and pin status. The on and off states of the LED are shown using user supplied images allowing customised LEDs to be created.
  • Switch User Images - [2D] A simple digital push switch allowing latched and none latched operation. In embedded mode displays the connecting pin and pin status. The on and off states of the switch are shown using user supplied images allowing customised switches to be created.
  • Switch Base - [3D] Base single pin switch with no graphical interface.
  • Simulation Switch Base - [2D] A base for building switches that do not download to chip i.e. have no pin connection.
  • ADC Base - [2D] Base ADC component functionality with no graphical interface.
  • gLCD Base - [2D] Base graphical LCD with simulation only interface to allow graphics to be drawn in simulation.
  • Keypad Base - [2D] Generic component to create a raster scanned custom keypad or button matrix.
  • Motor Base - [3D] Base component for constructing continuous motion - e.g. motors etc.
  • Servo Motor Base - [3D] Base component for creating custom servo motor simulations.
  • Stepper Motor Base - [3D] Enables the creation of a stepper motor component by specifying objects for its appearance.
