data gathering using Rpi, Arduino, PIC, ESP
MODULE 5.0
• Graphical programming: use flowcharts, state diagrams and data Design your electronic system on screen:
flow techniques • Choose a microcontroller that has the characteristics your
• Comprehensive library of dials, switches, indicators, graphs and application needs.
other components • Develop a model of the electronic system using the 2D or 3D
panels. MODULE 8.0
• Add components from the library or create your own. Link to a
General input output interface for Arduino mechanical model exported from Solidworks.
MODULE 8.0
Design • Design a program using flow chart, Blocks, Pseudo-code, C code
or state machine diagrams.
Design your electronic system on screen: • Develop a Human Machine Interface to provide a good visual test
bed. Flowcode design example MODULE 11.0
• Choose the Input Output device(s) that has the characteristics
your application needs from four types of device
MODULE 11.0
• Choose from one of our own low cost hardware interfaces or use Simulate
any third party hardware
• Add other instruments and systems that have Application Simulate your design to see how it functions:
Programming Interfaces you can work with like signal generators, • Use on-board digital switches and analogue sliders to change real
environmental chambers etc world parameters and see how your system copes.
• Drag local (USB/Bluetooth) and remote (Wi-fi/LAN/Internet) • Use the Meters, Oscilloscope, Data Recorder, Console or Graph to
hardware components onto the 2D panel verify your system’s performance.
• Add components from the library to create a distributed • Use test signal injectors to send streams of comms data in any
electronic system protocol to see how your system responds.
Control system with USB, LAN, Wi-fi and Bluetooth connection
• Design a program using flow chart, Blocks, Pseudo-code, or state • Link to Solidworks to see your 3D hardware model move on
machine diagrams screen under control of your program.

Test your design to make sure it functions like you want it to:
• Link your design to low cost local or remote hardware interfaces
• ‘Play’ the program or step through the program one command at • Compile your design to hex for a microcontroller.
