Easy to use, and no coding skills are needed!
Nice symbiosis between code: generated or written by hand.
Choose your favorite components and make a project:
From the board diagram, you define which components are connected to the
Arduino board, and how they relate to each other. We call these elements board petals.
From the user interface diagram you create UI petals, that correspond to HTML widgets.
Using the Quick/Easy mode you create a beautiful and functional user interface in a blink of an eye.
Or you can go Advanced, and have a finer control over the petals (that leverage the popular Bootstrap UI framework).
Flowerino generates code (highly optimized, object oriented) from your diagrams (board and user interface).
Download the code to your computer and upload it to Arduino (e.g. using Arduino IDE).
Power on the board, and connect to it’s IP address (from your mobile or desktop web browser).
When your project is finished, you can easily create a good looking presentation page for it.
Upload pictures, link YouTube videos, add text content and then share the project with the community.
Not to mention that browsing existing projects from the community
is a fantastic source of ideas for your next projects!
Without needing to write a single line of code, there is a huge amount of functionnality provided out-of-the-box after generating a project.
It's easy to add custom code by hand. When the project is re-generated, the hand written code and generated code continue to coexist happily.
If you know C++, it's easy to extend Flowerino by adding new petals (i.e. colored diagram elements + generation templates + framework C++ classes), that can be shared with the community.
Draw diagrams in minutes. And then, collaborate on diagrams with others in real time.
