The FlowBotics App for Phidgets Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface allows you to easily interface with the Phidgets Wheatstone Bridge Sensor Interface board and read its four sensor inputs without the need to program or create code.
Graphical Output
The interface includes a real-time graph where you can activate or deactivate I/O, change the display rate and more. The app does not restrict you to displaying values on the screen and provides you with an option to log all of the board’s values to a data file. You can choose how often to record values and use them in real time with other software, or process the file in spreadsheets or other programs.
Created using FlowBotics Studio
FlowBotics Studio is a new robotics software development platform proving a powerful graphical programming language which allows you to easily create programs that interface with external hardware devices such as Phidgets USB products. FlowBotics Studio includes hundreds of built-in components for standard computer peripherals and, using the FlowStone programing language, you can quickly create new components for many types of new hardware. You can also easily create custom GUI screens with knobs, buttons, switches, etc. that will run live in the development environment without needing to wait for compilation. Use FlowBotics Studio to modify the included source file to easily customize this app, or create new apps that can be sold via the RobotShop App Store.
Practical Example
