Janneman had mentioned "Flowcode" from Matrix Multimedia http://www.matrixmultimedia.com./
a couple days ago on the Anatech thread dealing with the GPIB/HPIB -- there's a student/home license version for 39 pounds (there are distributors all over the world, I got mine from Micro Controller Pros in California http://www.microcontrollershop.com/ )
You just drag icons from the left onto your screen, fill in the values, compile to "C", then compile the hex code.
I purchased the software and a USB programmer to (to replace my PicStart Plus which has gone missing.)
Here's a screen shot from one of the tutorials: |

automatic code generation is a popular academic activity, I haven't used any but I do look at a few of the free projects occasionally
http://ptolemy.berkeley.edu/ very flexible grapical system modeling software with the ability to produce C code from block diagram model graphs
http://www.scilab.org/ free matlab work-alike has a Simulink like block diagram simulator with code generation
http://www-rocq.inria.fr/scicos/
http://www-rocq.inria.fr/syndex/
used by a proprietary but cheap Microchip DsPIC based board, the "Flex"
http://www.evidence.eu.com/content/view/175/216/
these would be the "poor man's" version of the code generation tools in expensive commercial packages like National Instruments' or Simulink/Matlab which can "compile" complex signal processing and control block diagram to code or FPGA
as I said I just look, its hard to determine project maturity/usability without doing a few complete projects with a new tool/environment
I'd love to hear comments from people with recent experience |
