Flowol Flow-charts explained
Start/Sub/Stop (all) This symbol is used to; Start a flow-chart; Stop a singe flow-chart (or all flow charts in that program); Mark the Start of a Sub-Routine (a separate flow-chart that only starts when it is told to).
Delay/Sub/Let This symbol is used to; Delay an action in a flow-chart; Signal the start of a Sub-Routine; Let a certain letter (a-z) equal a number.
Turn Output/Motor/Sound/Speak This symbol is used to; Turn an Output on/off; Turn a Motor forwards/backwards; Play a sound; Speak a certain text.
Is Input/Val/Variable/Margin This symbol is used to; Ask if an input is on or off, then take 1 of 2 choices; Ask if a Val is equal/more/less to a certain number, then take 1 of 2 choices; Ask if a variable is equal/more/less to a certain number, then take 1 of 2 choices; Ask if a Margin is equal/more/less to a certain number, then take 1 of 2 choices.
A complex Flowchart Explained Chart Starts Lights on A delay A decision This chart (from left). Lights on/off and emergence stop if left button is on. Either a ride trigger (2 min) or unload the wheel. At bottom (middle) the sub-routine that turns the wheel for two minutes, then goes back to the previous routine. On right the subroutine that unloads the 7 pods on the wheel, then goes back the second sub-routine. Bottom left the emergency stop with a voice saying ‘’emergency stop in progress’’. A sub routine trigger A sub routine start
Making a simple flow chart:5 easy steps. 1 2 3 4 5
STEP 1 Open Flowol 3 and choose a mimic by pressing the little lighthouse symbol.
STEP 2 Place start block(s) for the beginning of your flowchart.
STEP 3 Choose either a decision (diamond), command (parallelogram) or a process (square) for the flow chart to execute.
STEP 4 Using the arrow tool, click on the start block, and then on the block that you want to happen next.
STEP 5 Place an end block for the end of your flowchart. OR repeat step 3 and 4 until you have achieved the desired result.
