Hello,
As I understand Arduino uses it's own programming language. So when I compile to chip within Flowcode ; is there a directory in which I can find this arduino code?

Thank you

Hi,
Flowcode creates a C source file, in the same directory as the Flowcode .fcfx file.
This C file is compiled, together with Flowcode CAL C files, to product object code for the target AVR device.
The programming step flashes the code to Arduino compatible target boards using their on-board Ardunio bootloader.

The Flowcode generated C files are not "Arduino code".
The Ardunio IDE Sketches are C++ and also make reference to Arduino library code, Flowcode does not.

Hope that helps,
Leigh

Hello Leigh,

So you mean that flowcode does not have to transleta C into Arduino language? The Arduino can understand C?

Thank you

What do you mean by "Arduino"?
Arduino is not a language.
C and C++ are languages that are compiled into binary code that runs on the processor devices that Arduino and compatible products use (mainly AVR)
Does that help?
