GoGo board library for
IMAGINE 2.0
This library allows you to use IMAGINE logo version 2.0 or
higher to control the GoGo board. It assumes you want to use the board in
the tethered mode. That is the GoGo board must always be connected to the
computer. This mode allows you to extend programming to the physical world.
Some project ideas include building game controllers, tangible interfaces,
and interactive installations.
The GoGo board can also function in an autonomous mode. In
this case, you program the board once and it can function on its own with
out the computer. If this is what you need, please use
Jackal
or
LogoBlocks instead.

-
Imagine 2.0 or higher

GoGo board library file for Imagine (a file with a name like

Trouble shooting
|
If the board is on but the board doesn't work and you keep
getting error messages. Please check that:
- The board is correctly connected to the computer.
- Check the serial port (Com Port) number to which the GoGo
board is connected. The GoGo board defaults to COM1. This can be changed by
calling "g'comPort Com-port-number"
- Make sure the serial port is not being used by other
programs. For example, the GoGo monitor program must always be closed before
using the Imagine library.
