Two instances of flow code (works fine)

[chad]

It would be nice if 2 instances could run simultaneously on a machine.
I frequently build test programs to get a handle on a component. For instance a display. Once I get the display set correct, orientation, pins, baud, colors etc.. I then want to transfer that to a working program. I don't know any way to transfer those values. I would be nice if I could just drag and drop stuff. At the very least be able to see the values in one and edit them in another. Right now I have to take screen shots create a new component and copy stuff over


Two instances will open but things are buggy when doing that.

Maybe I am missing a trick?

thanks

Hi Chad

I have two instances open when developing components. When you export the component from source you need to reload the program that uses it. There is a reload button on the main toolbar.

Another way is to use the main macro of your component source as a test routine. Any code you add here will not be included in the export. You can then download directly to hardware from the component source. Any components you add will need to be removed again before exporting.

HHm, ok I think i get what you are getting at. I will do some more experimentation.

thanks,
