Flowcode 7 (Article 3)
Modbus and DMX512
 
In the first two parts of this free article series, you were introduced to Flowcode 7, a flowchart-driven electronic IDE that enables you to produce hex code for more than 1,300 different microcontrollers, including PIC8, PIC16, PIC32, AVR, Arduino, and ARM. The third article investigates some of the more complex communications components, Modbus and DMX. Both of these components basically let you do the same thing, which is to use one device (Master) to control one or more remote devices (Slaves). Read the Article
