The task is to produce a Flowcode flowchart that lights a lamp for ten seconds when a switch is pressed.
Although it may not be realistic to use a microcontroller in such a straight-forward application, it illustrates the technique of producing a Flowcode program.
The program itself may form part of a bigger program.

  • Open Flowcode.
  • On the Startup screen, click on 'New embedded project'. (See Opening Flowcode)
The Project Options dialogue box opens.
(Click on the link for a full explanation of all the options available.)
  • Accept the default settings by clicking on 'OK'.
An empty flowchart window opens, which may contain other items such as a System Panel, Dashboard Panel, Properties Panel etc.
These can be revealed or hidden using the View menu.
  • Set up the flowchart window so that you can see the System Panel and the Properties Panel.
