The FlowGo Interface

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs)
- any type can be used. For
standard LEDs connect a 470 ohm resistor in series with the LED
to protect it from the excess current – alternatively use a LED
with in-built resistor. Connect the long leg of the diode to the red
socket and the shorter leg to the black socket on FlowGo.

Motors
can be connected but
will only give one direction of rotation (see
Motor outputs).
Switching the load to ground drives the digital outputs; each output is individually
capable of handling up to 500 mA continuously.
The maximum combined current for the 6 x digital outputs and the 2 x motor outputs
when used with the mains power supply is
1.3A
(1300 mA).
Example:
•
The current required by 6 x 6 V (150 mA) ordinary MES bulbs is 900 mA, which is within
the 1300 mA limit.
•
The current required by 6 x 6.5 V (500 mA) High Intensity MES bulbs is 3000 mA, which
exceeds this limit.
The supply for the outputs is via a resettable fuse and will trip if the maximum
combined current is exceeded for any continuous length of time. If this happens,
unplug the outputs and the fuse will automatically reset within 60 seconds.
Motor Outputs
The two Motor Outputs can be used with motors to
give movement in either direction and/or at varying
speeds.
Indicator light
Plug the motor into one of the pairs of motor
output sockets i.e. into A1 and A2 or B1 and B2.
To test motors, click in the boxes
alongside the appropriate letter in
the I/O panel – click either in the
left-hand box to turn a motor in an
anticlockwise direction (reverse),
or in the right-hand box to turn a
motor in a clockwise direction
(forward).
Reverse - red
Forward - green
