'''Flowcode''' is a Microsoft Windows-based development environment commercially produced by Matrix TSL for programming embedded devices based on [[PIC_microcontroller|PIC]], [[Atmel_AVR|AVR]] (including [[Arduino]]) and [[Atmel_ARM-based_processors|ARM]] technologies using [[Visual_programming_language|graphical programming]] styles (such as [[flowchart]]s) and [[Imperative_programming|imperative programming]] styles (through [[C_(programming_language)|C]] and [[Pseudocode|Pseudocode]]). It is currently in its eighth revision.

Flowcode is dedicated to simplifying complex functionality such as [[Bluetooth]], [[GSM|Mobile Phones Communications]], [[USB|USB communications]] etc. by using pre-developed dedicated component libraries of functions. This is achieved by dragging virtual representations of hardware onto a visual panel, providing access to associated libraries. Flowcode is therefore ideal for speeding up software development times and allowing those with little programming experience to get started and help with projects.

Flowcode allows the user to develop and view their program using four different visual modes. These are the Flowchart view, the Blocks view (a graphical programming paradigm inspired by [[Blockly]]), the C code view and the Pseudocode view.

Flowcode also has compatibility with [[Solidworks]] <ref>Dassault Systèmes, [https://www.solidworks.com/partner-product/flowcode "Flowcode | SOLIDWORKS"], ''Solidworks'', 31/05/2018</ref>

There is a large and helpful online community based at the Matrix user forums<ref>Matrix TSL, [http://www.matrixtsl.com/mmforums/index.php "Matrix user forums"], ''Matrix user forums'', 31/05/2018</ref>.. There is also a dedicated Wiki<ref>Matrix TSL, [http://www.matrixtsl.com/wiki/index.php "Flowcode Help"], ''Flowcode Wiki'', 31/05/2018</ref>.
