An Interesting Software package!

Hi guys

I do a bit of DSP development using a system from a UK company Called Outsim,for creating music related software. One of the Devs of this software has shown me a new venture they are embarking on atm,Its a Visual programming and hardware development system for Robotics,Embedded Systems, Data acquisition, Electronics and all manner of cool things that i don't even understand yet lol and they have married up with a USA company some of you may already know of called Phidgets - ( i hadn't heard of them before this, is their stuff good?) and the software works with all their electronics gear

anyway the thing ain't available yet but here's a link the the site which is up atm with a free educational version of the software available right now!
DSP Robotics & FlowStone Graphical Programming Software

the software is called Flowstone!

does this look like a good system?

What do you guys think?

I am used to the software interface and way of working so i am kinda hoping that this would be a good way of learning electronics for me (I am a pure novice)

anyway thats all really, just thought this looks kinda cool and thought i would give ya all a heads up

Sending love from Scotland

Can the software work without special interfacing circuit?

Oh hi sucahyo

Yeh that was a question i had yesterday for the Devs, based on the fact that i am in the UK and these boards would have to come from the USA and i am a bit dubious as to them getting here in a decent timescale and in one piece!

So i awaiting their answer and will get back as soon as i hear anything!

one thing i have to say though is I did a few price comparisons and found that boards, components and the like, are about half the price in the USA in comparison to the UK! its not fair! i want to emigrate!

Best Regards

Ok.

Do you know a simple circuit to amplify serial / parallel output to switch 12V coil?
