MicroFlo: Live dataflow programming for microcontrollers

========================================================

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/microflo/microflo.png?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/microflo/microflo)

Unlike most other [dataflow](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dataflow_programming) runtimes for constrained devices,

MicroFlo run _standalone_ on the microcontroller, can be introspected and reconfigured at runtime,

and has built-in support for automated testing.

One can program with MicroFlo either:

* Visually, using [Flowhub](https://flowhub.io)

* Textually, using the declarative [.fbp DSL](http://noflojs.org/documentation/fbp)

or [.json definition](http://noflojs.org/documentation/json)

* Programatically, by embedding it and building a graph using the C++ API

MicroFlo is very portable, written in C++03 without exceptions and stdlib.

It comes with support for multiple platforms,including [Arduino](http://arduino.cc) and Embedded Linux.

It has been used on many different devices,

from Atmel AVR8 to ARM Cortex M0/M1/M3/M4 devices (LPC mbed, TI Tiva/Stellaris), ESP8266 and Raspberry PI.

MicroFlo is designed to integrate with other data-driven programming tools, including

[msgflo](https://msgflo.org) for easy building of distributed systems (IoT).

Using

-----------------

For visual programming your Arduino, follow the [microflo-example-arduino](https://github.com/microflo/microflo-example-arduino).

Support

---------

[![Flowhub logo](https://flowhub.io/assets/banner-github.png)](https://flowhub.io)

MicroFlo is a part of [Flowhub](https://flowhub.io), a platform for building robust [IoT systems](https://flowhub.io/iot) and web services.


We offer an [Integrated Development Environment](https://app.flowhub.io) and [consulting services](https://flowhub.io/consulting).

Status

-------

**Minimally useful**.

* Works fine for simple programs

* Components exists for standard I/O on Arduino devices

* Live programming supported for most changes

* Basic support for automated testing

MicroFlo in the wild:

* [Jon's fridge thermostat](http://www.jonnor.com/2013/09/microflo-0-1-0-and-an-arduino-powered-fridge/)

has been running uninterrupted since September 2013.

* The [Ingress table](http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/ingress-table/) at [c-base station](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C-base), Berlin uses MicroFlo

to control the lights. One major upgrade/bugfix since March 2014.

* The lights on the CNC-milled Christmas tree at [Bitraf](http://bitraf.no),

Oslo ran for 4 weeks during Christmas 2013.
