MCP Flow Runtime Examples

This directory contains example flows demonstrating various capabilities of the MCP Flow Runtime.

Running Examples

Each example can be run directly using Dart:

dart run example/led_blink.dart

Available Examples

led_blink.dart

Simple GPIO control example that blinks an LED connected to pin 13.

Demonstrates:

• GPIO output control
• State management
• Process loops
• Delays between actions
• Error handling

temperature_monitor.dart

Advanced example that monitors temperature from an I2C sensor and controls a cooling fan based on temperature thresholds.

Demonstrates:

• I2C sensor reading
• PWM fan control
• Conditional logic (if/else)
• State constraints
• Channel-based communication
• Event monitoring

sensor_logger.dart

Logs sensor data to a CSV file and calculates running statistics.

Demonstrates:

• ADC sensor reading
• File I/O operations
• Expression evaluation
• Channel pub/sub pattern
• Scheduled processes
• Statistics calculation

modbus_control.dart

Industrial control example using Modbus protocol to control pumps and monitor tank levels.

Demonstrates:

• Modbus TCP/RTU communication
• Reading/writing Modbus registers
• Complex control logic
• Alarm handling
• Priority processes
• Emergency stop procedures

Hardware Requirements

Most examples use mock hardware providers by default. To run with real hardware:

1. Linux: Install required drivers and ensure proper permissions
2. macOS/Windows: Use USB-to-GPIO/I2C/SPI adapters where needed

Creating Your Own Flows

Use these examples as templates for your own flows. Key concepts:

1. Resources: Define hardware interfaces (GPIO, I2C, etc.)
2. State: Define variables with types and constraints
3. Channels: Define communication channels between processes
4. Processes: Define the control logic with triggers and steps
