I'm aware some of you might be saying 'Huh?'.

It might be way to late in the ball game to change scripting languages, but this could still remain food for thought.
Python is so much more popular than Ruby is and could potentially attract a bigger crowd of developers.

Thank you for this great info!

If flowstone is to gain ground in this highly saturated market of robotic control software, it will be when you can disseminate your flowstone created .exes onto el-cheapo single board microcomputers just running Linux.

If you got that far using Crossover, knowing ...

Thank you so much for all these great suggestions!

Although, if you were to take 4) i.e. the .NET route as in writing a dll with opc that would be like trying to get rid of an outbreak of ants in your apartment with a hand grenade...

If you take the .NET approach you may just as well use a ...

Yes,
but knowing how many Raspberry Pies that have been sold, well over a million I believe, wouldn't it make sense to offer a native component like there are for Phidgets and LabJack devices where the RP's 32 GPIOs would be directly accessible within FlowStone ?

That's very different than having ...

Ah ha, sequential-core processes than.

Not parallel processing, but at least multiple cores can get put to use within a single build and not just doze...

I was wondering if FlowStone 3 has a built-in scheduler so as to create exes and vst that can fully exploit multi-processing and multi-threading hardware like 4 and 8 core cpus.

Built-in schedulers multiplex multiple OS threads automatically over the nodes without the programmer having to deal with ...

First start with a MIDI In component or an empty module where you have added a MIDI connector.
Then link that MIDI connector to any of the following components:

MIDI Aftertouch
MIDI Control Change
MIDI Pitch Bend
MIDI Splitter
MIDI Mono
which all output Integer values.

The 'Sysex to String ...

My biggest hurdle in navigating Flowstone modules is actually finding what I'm looking for in among all the nested modules. Is there any trick or tip you can give me to help find buried code? Like a search or something?



You're not the only one with this problem.

The two main issues ...

Thank you Embedded for so eloquently explaining that to us!!
I now have a much better understanding of the MGUI component

It might be worth mentioning here, at least for some of the more simple minded people like myself, a cool feature the MGUI hides.

Unlike other components, like for example ...

This is the same in V1 & V2, nothing has changed here.

The order that you add components will set the layering, the newer components are on top. You can change the order on the top level by right clicking and selecting 'Send Back', 'Bring to Front' etc. (in edit mode - padlock open) . Or ...
