Flowcode for AVR - BETA testers required

Post by Steve »

We have recently been working on a new version of Flowcode that targets Atmel's AVR family of microprocessors. We are quite close to a finished product and will shortly begin some thorough testing.

We would like to hear from anyone who would like to help BETA test this new product.

Prospective BETA testers should have access to various AVR hardware (chips, development boards, etc) and should ideally have a basic understanding of Flowcode.

We will be able to offer free or reduced-rate copies of this new version of Flowcode to those who are selected.

Please contact me at this address if you are interested:

Hello Alan,

We don't have a definitive list yet, but it looks to be all current MEGAs (up to and including 40-pin versions) and most current TINYs.

Are there particular devices (e.g. mature AT90s) you would like us to target?

RS232 CONPONENT FOR AVR

Post by ALAN_26 »

Hi steve maybe the 8051 series would be nice To :),

I made some research and found out that Some Atmel devices have a maximum operation frequency 8mhz 16mhz ( lower than 20mhz ) and have RS232 .
What I am trying to say is if you converted flowcode for avr with the same rs232 component it will not work properly because of the 20mhz bug .

I think that bug with the RS232 (where it assumed a 19.6608MHz oscillator) got fixed a long time ago. Please tell me if it hasn't, or if you are referring to a different problem.

On the 8051 devices, it is something we have thought of. But for now, we will release AVR and ARM versions and see what the uptake is.

Yep - Flowcode for AVR is scheduled for release in the next few months.

Flowcode for ARM will hopefully be released sometime early spring.
