This BETT 2004 Award Winner - works through either USB or serial port and it can run from a PC or on batteries.

The FlowGo interface and Flowol software offer a way to explore the world of computer control. Using a combination of both real models and on-screen simulations, pupils can gain an understanding of how systems operate and how these are created and controlled.

FlowGo can be used as a traditional control interface alongside a PC, or run as a remote stand-alone controller. Download your Flowol program to FlowGo and let the system you have created take control.

FlowGo is designed to operate with small electrical components e.g. 6v bulbs, buzzers, motors, LEDs etc. See also Model Pack One – a starter pack of 3 control scenarios with built-in learning progression, fully supported with teachers' notes and pupil activity sheets which match the English ICT and D&T program of study for Key Stage 2.

Technical Information:

• 6 Outputs (for bulbs buzzers LEDs etc)
• 4 Inputs (for switches)
• 2 Motor outputs (make motors run either clockwise or anti-clockwise and at varying speeds)
• 2 Analogue inputs (for temperature, light sensors etc.)
• Input, Output and Motor sockets are all 4mm
• Analogue sensor inputs are 3.5mm stereo jack sockets
• Use Spring Connectors - CK6 - for an easy way to connect to bare wires

FlowGo is supplied with a 6v 1.3A power supply. It can also be powered from an external 6v battery pack, enabling it to operate away from both mains electricity and the computer.

FlowGo Interface Pack Pack includes both USB and serial computer connection leads, power supply and FlowGo book (User Guide, Teacher's notes and Activity Sheets)
