Flowcode is used in education and industry. Its
comprehensive functionality meets the needs of
today’s technology educators and industrial
designers.
Flowcode in industry
Industrial users vary from those just starting to
use microcontrollers, to experienced systems
engineers using Flowcode for small projects,
prototyping, and de-skilling the design process.

Quick projects:
by experienced C code programmers
because it is the quickest way of getting
programs up and running.
Managing projects:
as a ‘front end’ to manage complex projects
containing C code. This allows engineers to
de-skill the design process with one
programmer developing core routines and
another managing the user interface,
ergonomics and program flow.
Rapid prototyping:
integration of E-blocks and Flowcode allows
incredibly rapid ‘proof of concept’ prototypes
to be developed for customer surveys and
specification development.
Open architecture:
architecture of E-blocks and Flowcode are
designed to save engineers time in the design
process: use our off the shelf software
component designs with our off the shelf E-
blocks hardware components to shorten the
design cycle.

FLOW CODE
NO CODING, NO LIMITS...
Flowcode and E-blocks have been adopted by Belgian schools for post 16 education in electronics.
Shown here is the electronics teaching lab at St Joseph’s Academy near Brecht.
Flowcode in education
Educators incorporate Flowcode into their
Electronics, Computer Science and Technology
courses for many reasons including:
•
•
•
•
Fundamentals of programming:
Flowcode is an ideal tool for learning the
fundamentals of programming. The process of
building programs using drag and drop and
point and click, allows students to understand
program structure and flow without getting
bogged down in syntax and language.
Fundamentals of electronics
design:
introduced to the concepts of system design,
of inputs, outputs and processes. Students
also learn about microcontroller circuitry and
operation.
A precursor to C:
designed as a precursor to C programming -
which many students find difficult. Flowcode
introduces students to the concepts of
programming and prepares them for the
principles used in C programming.
Motivation:
go further, faster, and develop projects which
utilise the technology they use every day like
mobile phones, MP3 players, GPS etc.
Flowcode motivates students to want to
learn more about electronic system design.
