Chip View

<sidebar>Sidebar: Controlling Electronic Devices With Flowcode</sidebar>

Chip View is a window which displays the currently targeted microcontroller, it allows the user to see a map of the chip to clarify it's capabilities, it allows the user to plan and organize and program the flowchart appropriately. The 'Chip View' improves efficiency by displaying the chip pins so that the user understands what each pin is connected to (if there is anything connected to it) and where it is on the chip.

You can access the Chip View window by selecting 'Chip' via the 'View' menu (View > Chip).

This window is not only useful for beginners it is also very useful for advanced users as it allows the user to keep in mind what microcontroller they are using, this proves especially useful when swapping between multiple different chips and for learning new chips quickly and easily.

Flowcode now also provides a Simulation or 'SIM' chip which allows the user to use all pins and ports in simulation within Flowcode, if you select 'No chip' when specifying the target chip then Flowcode will default to the 'SIM' chip. This not only improves efficiency, it also enhances the quality of the program, although the program will not run on hardware you can create complex and versatile systems and applications to simulate.
