Flowcode patch 6.0.4 Released

[Benj]

Hello,

There is now a new patch for Flowcode (6.0.4) available by clicking Help -> Check for updates in Flowcode.

Let us know if you have any problems installing the patch or otherwise.

Evening.

There are a couple of changes in this release that will hopefully address two of the main issues raised on our forums.

For those who do not want two panels
If you wish to turn off the system panel and work on the 2D Dashboard panel only:

• In Menu->View->Global Options... ensure both 'Use dashboard as default panel' and 'Disable the system panel' are checked

• If it is open, close the system panel and restart Flowcode
• On the toolbar at the top of the dashboard panel make sure the graphical option 'Show rulers' is unchecked

• Hover the mouse over the bottom of the top toolbar or right of the left toolbar and drag the toolbars up to minimise them

For those who did not want a cluttered components toolbar

We have tidied the toolbar listing the component categories so it is hopefully easier to see into these lists. The components provided are the 'common' components people tend to use when there are alternatives.

All the components are still present in the system however. You can use the search option to find any component. This will search author, title, description or any part of a number of fields. You can use quotes or the + and - symbols in the same way as with web searches, though our auto-correct is not quite up to Googles standard just yet.

There is also a favourites list you can add to when you get tired of searching lists. Right click on a component and select 'Add to favourites'.

Items that are favourites are marked with a little yellow star. Hopefully this will be to the liking of those that want lots of components, only a few and just those they use regularly.

We hope these modifications allow you to customise Flowcode more to your liking.

Might be doing something silly but...
upgraded to latest release version 6.0.4 (from 6.0.3)
I can't find the look up table component anymore...it used to be under the storage components, now I just have EEPROM and FAT options.
anyone know where its gone?

Hi Jay Dee
Click on search (Left hand side of tool bar) and type lookup in the box, it will bring it back

Some of the components are hidden now to stop the panels being too full when opened.(Possibly the lesser used ones)
You can right click it and add to favourites if you want easy access next time.

Howdy folks. I'm new to Flowcode and to this forum. I suppose now that the introductions are complete (LOL! ) I'll get on with business...

I noticed a funny little niggle in the program, hehe! Go to the Build menu, select Compiler Options. Click on the "Programmer" tab. Look about half way down to the check box that's there. It says "Enable writing of configurartion to chip". Hehehe! I immediately sounded out in my mind... "Configure-arsh-en"...

Hmmmm? Is that like when your arsh gets configured after yer wife puts the boot to it?

Hehehe, all smiles here in Canada, eh! Maybe I'll have to ship you over a tin of Tim Horton's coffee. The stuff you folks drink over the pond there makes y'all spell funny. Hehehe!

Cheers!

Hi techgrag. Thanks for that spot, it will be fixed in the next release. I think if that is the worst of the bugs we find we aren't on to a bad thing!
