I have developed a simulation of the Buggy Kit which runs as Flash in a browser window.
It's in use at the School where I'm a helper. I would welcome some feedback from the Picaxe community or indeed other schools.
How could it be improved to teach systems and control to years 7,8,9?
Reminder about the MOD001: It has a PICaxe 18, 1 motor driver 2 motors and 2 microswitches, 2 LEDs.
The simulation has a limited subset of BASIC commands, and uses the "old" assignment of Inputs to microswitches.
There is a simulated pen, which is used to trace the path of the buggy (a bit like LOGO)
There is a feedback link in the bottom corner of the screen which you can use, or of course you can send comments via this forum.
(Maybe this should go into the Completed projects forum)
There are no written instructions - perhaps that's where I should start.
Have fun at http://moodle.ttcdtinternet.com/file.php/1/newsim/
