Hi Acestu, I think for the home users, there is always an option to use some free app, and use online 3D file converters, to convert to one of the supported formats by Flowcode. But I think it's just a mater of time for FC to start supporting most of the file formats. They have limiter crew working ...

Many decent universities have solidworks for their BS or MS courses. Other big names for 3D modeling is COMSOL Multiphysics, Siemens NX, ANSYS, Catia, ProEngineer,Autocad Inventor. They all come in different packages, depends on how skillful you are and what you do with it, as most of them support m...

Hi Jonny,

Will FC support Solidworks assemblies?

Cheers Jonny, I will be waiting for updates

Hi Jonny,

When will you solve the issue with FC v5 macro import?

Best regards,
Mantas

Hello Stu,

While it works with single parts, it does not work with assemblies, and it looses much of the small feature details

I was working with Simulink, and I thought it would be nice to have FFC (feedforward control) components like there is a PID, to be able to design servo controllers and such...what do you think? Also some optimization algorithm component for time optimal controls like Gradient descend, and similar w...

Hi Jonny, I hope you will soon add the support for solidworks object formats. This would mean that people like me will be able to rapidly develop 3D models, without learning all the flowcode modeling specifics, which I personally would prefer. I ponder if simulink to flowcode convertion would be pos...

Hi Benj, I have made a board with GPS, BMP085 pressure sensor, BMA180 acc, ITG3200 gyro, RM3000F mag. It working wonderful, at 100Hz. Now I am writing a code in flowcode for geomagnetic earth model so it would calculate the declination angle regarding on the date and position, so it would know the t...

Hi Benj, I received my MPU6050 today as well :D I want to upgrade my ITG3200 + BMA180 + RM3000F which was an amazing combo! I was looking for MPU6000 breakout which is set for SPI protocol, and allows for higher sample rate. As far as CANopen goes, I was aiming for servo motors. There are plenty of ...

Hi Jonny,

I would really appreciate that! This would simplify a big part of my work were I need to convert C code to flowcode!

Cheers,
Mantas

Hi Benj,

You certainly do have more than one How is the progress on CANopen?

Hi Gents, Could you create a video of showing how to create a component, or a function specifically from C code? I know there is a supplementary section in the settings manager an others, but this is still mind boggling for me :? What if a C code function to call has a pointer in the parameter secti...

Benj,

I think you and other MM crew will win a Nobel prize next year!

Hi Benj,

Sorry for the stupid question, but where do I find this Interface manager?

Cheers,

Hi, Would it be possible and how to implement the possibility to create new components, or functions directly from C code, and them have them as standard library, like for the example I did with the inverse sqrt() function? Instead of having them as macros? Or is this just a no brain'er? :roll: Chee...

Good luck Benj,

I hope you will succeed:) That will make my life a lot easier;)

Hi Jonny,

Maybe global options would be a more universal solution?

Hi Benj,

Here is a Dropbox link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/104 ... ANopen.zip

Or option to disable pins unconnected warning, like for CAN component when you are not using DAC and NV pins.

Hi Benj, I think this would become a SCADA system :) A real competitor for Wonderware Intouch :) Then it would be great to have a library of industrial 3D/2D pick and place components, like pressure vessels, Liquid containers, and etc. to simulate liquid level and similar, for rapid prototyping. Bes...

Hi Jonny,

Sorry for the late reply. I was talking about this window:

Hi Benj, I hope you will have time to do CANopen as well. If you want I can send you some C code and documentation regarding this. Recently I had to do a lot of studying on CANopen to control BLDC servos, but due to lack of time I couldn't accomplish this task, as it is pretty tricky, >300 pages of ...

Hello Gent,

If we started talking industrial protocols then why not add CANopen, Profinet, ethernetCAT. They are all like MODBUS a more advanced industrial control protocols which need a high degree of coms knowlage by using CAN, ETHERNET or RS485 interfaces.

Best regards,

I had an idea during closed beta regarding many windows, but it never slipped out...maybe it would be nice to have a bottom TAB bar, where you could flip through different windows and have them always shown in the same position. Maybe add such feature as a global option, maybe for some people with s...
