The new FlowPaw board from DSPRobotics was featued as the cover story for the latest edition of Robot Magazine in the US.
This marks the 18th FlowStone workshop fetured in the magazine so far, where we show beginners how to code robotics using the FlowStone programming Language.
FlowPaw was on the BBC today!
Featured on the CBBC kids science program Technobabble (episode 19 – Computing):
DSPRobotics CEO Carl Owen explains a little about the FlowPaw education board, based on the STM32 Microprocessor using the MikroElektonika Click Boards, and how it fits to the market.
DSPRobotics were recently guest speakers at Embedded World in Germany on the ST Micro and Conrad stands, where they showcased the new FlowPaw Microprocessor board (based on STM32) and FlowStone programming language aimed at education and rapid prototyping.
We just returned from Embedded World in Germany where we were showing the FlowPaw to the world..
FlowPaw and FlowStone was a huge hit on the Conrad stand and also the ST Micro Stand where did daily live presentations. We also showed the new Buggy from Mikroelektronika working with FlowStone:
We’ve just returned from the BETT education show in London where we were demoing FlowPaw together with our UK distributors Rapid Electronics:
What was interesting this year was the number of people coming on the stand looking for programming tools for the classroom that just worked (having failed going down the Raspberry Pi & Arduino routes). There were quite a few shocked faces when they saw FlowPaw for the first time!
Great News – The new Click Packs for the FlowPaw Claws arrived today!
The cool thing about our Click Packs it that all of the pins are pre-soldered and ready to use out of the box!
There are two different versions:
IR Thermometer
Relay
7 Segment Dispaly
Capacitive Touch
Bluetooth Wireless
Gyro
SpeakUp Voice Recognition
RFID card reader
These are now in stock and avaliable to order Here
We’ve uploaded some new FlowStone STEM software and FlowPaw firmware.
Go to the bottom of this page to get your software updater: Here
In this new version your FlowPaw now supports more Click boards:
Accelerometer
Buzzer
Proximity
8×8 Led Display
Relay
7 Segment Display
RFID
Bluetooth wireless
Gyro
Capacitive Sensor
IR Thermometer
SpeakUp voice Recognition
Also the new Balancing Bot PID function (like a Segway TM)

The guys at Micro Mart Magazine have just written a comprehensive review of FlowPaw, click on the image below to read the full pdf:
We have made a mini balancing robot similar to the famous Segway (TM) using the FlowPaw board and the Accelerometer, Gyro, & Bluetooth click/claws.
We used the FlowStone programming language to send the values for the PID maths and display the sensor and PID values on screen.
We also made a new DSP module that runs the PID etc. on the FlowPaw hardware, we then just send the PID tuning values from FlowStone to the FlowPaw via the Bluetooth wireless connection.
Here’s the motor controller and battery underneath..
And a short video:
Our Kickstarter campaign has now completed and we’re incredibly pleased to say that we got all our funding and some more on top!
It’ll take a week or two for the funding to reach us but as soon as it does we’ll be sending out the very first batch of FlowPaw kits. To say we’re excited is an understatement 
To all our amazing backers:
Watch on the BBC iPlayer..
