I have always wanted to program microcontrollers with industrial type ladder logic because I felt more at home with the graphical logic programming. Then I encountered this lightweight software for that purpose which has been updated over the years.


If you are interested in knowing more you can start with this introduction.

Then, the ongoing series.

And finally, Building the Arduino PLC

There are quite a few graphical languages these days, Ardublock, Snap4Arduino, Node-Red,
Flowcode, mBlock.......check them out. Some with advanced features that make interfacing
into Windows with embedded almost trivial, like this talking voltmeter -

GUI Codeless Processor Design

Micro design has for years relied on ASM and C programming and other languages. Often many tasks are fairly simply but these tools were focused and quite a learning curve, especially ASM and C and C++. There are a number of new GUI based tools that essentially take out the "strong typing"...

Here is a solution to do complex timer applications -

Yeah sure. These are very good and have many advantages features. However, LDmicro (https://cq.cx/ladder.pl) is suitable for Automation personnel who are familiar with ladder logic but with little or no knowledge of coding, and who may want to implement small automation projects with microcontrollers. It is also a good starting point for those already familiar with microcontrollers coding and who intending to go into PLC programming.

I feel very comfortable programming microcontrollers with PLC ladder logic as Automation Engineer.

Onos
