-Control the angle, speed, and acceleration of the High or Low Speed Stepper Motor.
-Control the power provided to various devices connected to the Power Output Board.
-Control the brightness of the red and blue LEDs on the PASCO Grow Light.
-Measure temperature, humidity, light intensity, and soil moisture with the Greenhouse Sensor.
-Measure distance with the PASCObot Range Finder to navigate the bot.
-Measure line intensity with the PASCObot Line Follower to make the bot follow a line.
-Upload code to the //control.Node so that it can run a program independently from a computer or mobile device.
Ratings and Reviews
App needs serious attention
It’s a shame, really. The probes themselves are reliable and sturdy, easily connected. However, the connection often bounces off and the app itself crashes frustratingly often. Every student in our building >600, have used the probes and the app. We have the greatest success when we are using only one probe at a time.
Pasco is not new to this game, and this app shows its age. Pasco, please take some time to revise and improve the interface and connectivity reliability.
Pretty good
I loved how I could just give my phone to my daughter and she would be entertained for hours. The puzzles in this game are easy enough for littles but give them a challenge so they have to think. Would recommend for your child. She says “I was elated at the sight of mother bestowing me with her cellular device. I very much enjoyed the puzzles and the challenge they posed. I’m done mother may I start on your calculus homework?”
Bad app , no get
This app causes stress among students since it constantly give inconsistent data. This causes students to stress about their grade even though it’s not their fault . This app is not user friendly and seems quickly put together . Lots of bugs and crashes . Bluetooth function is touchy and often doesn’t work. And as a quote from one of these students . “ this app is like ,Not it dawg. No cap it’s kinda sus”
