The FlowGo Interface
DO96 (4)
Outputs
The output voltage from FlowGo is dependant on the input voltage. As a general rule
the output ‘on’ voltage is about 0.6 V less than the input supply voltage.
When connecting electrical components to FlowGo, please check their voltage rating
is suitable e.g. if FlowGo is powered by a 6 V battery or power supply use 6 V MES
bulbs, buzzers or 4.5 to 6V motors.
FlowGo has 6 pairs of output sockets and 2 pairs of motor output sockets, which are
4 mm
in diameter.
Plug an output device e.g. bulb, into one of the pairs of output sockets.
Red indicator light
Red (positive) socket
Black (negative) socket
Note
: Buzzers or LEDs will only operate if connected the right way (see below).
To test an output device, click in
the box alongside the
appropriate output number in
the I/O panel to switch it On (the
box will colour up). Click back in
the box to switch it Off.
Output Off
Output On
The state of an output socket (On or Off) is shown by the indicator light alongside the
socket. When an output is switched
On
(line is HIGH) the LED will be
lit
. When the
output is switched
Off
(when line is LOW) the LED will be
off
.
Examples of output devices include:
6 V Light bulb and holder
6 V Buzzers
(Square and Piezo):
– connect the red lead from the
buzzer to the red socket and the
black lead to the black socket on
FlowGo.
