Why use Flowcode?

The Arduino prototyping hardware platform has a large following of educators and enthusiasts around the world. Flowcode can target and program Arduino hardware directly. E-blocks hardware is also available to provide access to modular plug and play circuitry as well as debugging support.

  • Syntax-free coding
  • Drag and drop of coding icons
  • Simulation of Arduino projects
  • Inbuilt test-and-debug
  • Multiple programming modes
  • C code editing and conversion
  • Simple porting between devices
  • Drag and drop of programming libraries

Building on the Arduino model

Infographic for Arduino and Flowcode with C code

Flowcode - A graphical flowchart representation of the program, although C code can be added by the user. Functionality is extended with components which offer functions (macros) to control internal and external hardware features. Additional benefits include simulation and debugging.

Arduino - Adds in-built and user-generated libraries to extend the basic functionality of the underlying C/C++ language.

C / C++ - Basic functionality only, although the language can be supplemented by adding pre-built functions.

Arduino in Education

Matrix offers support to Arduino users via our hardware platform, E-blocks2 (see our Arduino microcontroller system development kit, left). We also offer both on-site training to your centre, and remote training through our curriculum provision. You can see our microcontroller systems course for free, or read more about how we support education with Arduino visual programming on our Education page.
