Do you know Flowcode equivalent for programming PC software?

Post by Mathy »

Hello,

Im looking for a PC software who works like flowcode for developping PC software ( drag and drop capabilities ).
I would like to create very simple software under Windows OS with graphical user interface with only some trimmer or button who send DATA over Ethernet or RS232 serial output.

Do you know a tool like that ?

Thank you :)

Hello Mathy,

You could try Profilab 4 from Abacom
http://www.abacom-online.de/uk/html/pro ... xpert.html
Many predefined components and external boards to "connect", easily connect to USB (FTDI or similar) com or regular rs232/ parallel ports etc.

Best regards

Brian

Hello,

Flowcode v6 should be able to do all of this out of the box, expected around July 2013.
For now VB express edition is quite simple to use and has plenty of sample material to base your work on.

Oh oh !

That's a very great news !
As always, if you need beta testers, I'm here.

As you can see, I already reported lots of bug and will be very happy to help you in this task.

Thanks Mathy,

Out of interest Python is also very good and free with plenty of examples but its not in any way graphical.

I expect FC v6 to compile Android Apps as well (with sensor access etc)! Thanks in advance. There are a few options available now but all limited in some way. :D

Not so sure about the android environment, I've had a good play with the eclipse environment and wouldn't want to replicate any of that in Flowcode any time soon. Maybe v7 :wink:
