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.

What you need
  • Imagine 2.0 or higher
  • GoGo board library file for Imagine (a file with a name like GoGo20.IMP)
  • A GoGo board
  • Serial cable connecting the GoGo board to the computer
How to use the GoGo library
  1. Make sure the GoGo board is connected to the computer and is turned on.
  2. Make sure the serial port is not being used by any other programs. I.e. make sure to close the GoGo monitor program.
  3. Start Imagine
  4. Open the GoGo library project file. The library will automatically initialize the GoGo board. You should here one beep.
  5. You are ready to control the GoGo board. Try a simple operation such as

          g'beep

    You should hear a beep.
  6. Please refer to the GoGo board command reference for a complete list of commands
  7. Please use "save as" to save your project under a different name. This way the GoGo library file stays clean for use in other projects.

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.
