Hi,
I'm not familiar with this product, but a quick look at the website and it looks like there is a windows GUI app available to program them via the bootloader.
You would need to use this to download the hex file that Flowcode generates.
It would also need checking to see if there is any requirement for an offset for the program start address.
Hope that gets you started, let us know how you get on and if you need any further help.

Hi LeighM

Thank you for the info.But I like to flash with one mouseclick. This is something I like very much at Flowcode.
For this board with the PIC32MX534F064H I'm lucky. There is also the ICSP header. There I will connect my PICkit3 programer. This runs very comfortably with the FC7. Perhaps there is in the future a possibility also over the USB interface to program directly from FC7 as I make it of microchip chipkit wf32 with flowcode.

Briefly explained Mikroelektronika has a "click" system with over 250 small clickboards. These can be plugged into various small developer boards (with Pic microchip) or on different shields suitable for Arduino boards.
I have so many possibilities with FC7 these to program.
