Tethered Mode

In this mode the GoGo board is constantly connected to a computer via a serial cable. The board is controlled by the computer to report sensor values or activate various actuators (i.e. motors, lights, relays). Applications of this mode include game controllers, interactive on-screen story books, and interactive computer-enhanced art installations. See project examples.

You can control the board from any programming environment that can communicated with the serial port. We have also developed libraries for a few environments to ease this process. See the download page for a list of libraries.

Autonomous Mode

In some cases, you may not want the GoGo board to be dependant of the Computer. For example, you may want to control a robot that moves around the room or you may want to leave the GoGo board in the field for a few days (i.e. monitoring water level in a reservoir). You can write procedures and save them to the GoGo board using the Cricket Logo language. Once on the board, you can activate them by pressing the run button on the board. See Cricket Logo for more information.
