Qfix Grape

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Grape is a graphic development environment with which even beginners can program microcontrollers very easily .

In Grape, the program logic is first represented as a flow chart (or program flow chart ). The program elements are available

  • Statements (instructions)
  • Loops
  • If statements (case distinction)
  • Functions
  • FunctionCalls (function calls)
  • Variables or objects

In the second step, the meaning of the individual program elements is defined. Methods of C ++ classes that were previously made known to Grape can be called here. This makes functions available, for example to control a mobile robot , to record measurement data or to generally use the I / Os of a microcontroller.

From the flowchart and meanings, Grape automatically generates (readable) C ++ code that can be compiled within the environment and loaded onto the corresponding microcontroller .
