Interested in the Internet Of Things (IoT) then use a Bluetooth Claw with FlowPaw and go wireless!
Here we have made a rover that can be controlled via FlowStone, in the beginning we use an Xbox controller to drive the rover around, then switch to Autonomous Mode and let the rover drive itself using IR distance sensors to avoid obstacles!
All of the decision making (code) runs on the Laptop so you can literally edit the code as it drives around!
Here we use the Servo outs on FlowPaw to control a simple Pan/Tilt mechanism for a webcam.
We are using an Xbox controller connected to FlowStone to control the Pan/Tilt and also displaying the webcam inside FlowStone 
From here you could do motion tracking, colour detection, take photos or record video!
We just got the RFid Click working on FlowPaw, so now we can read RFid swipe cards in FlowStone!
Here we show how to make a key card door entry system using FlowPaw and the RFid Click board:
The key card sends a unique serial number to the FlowPaw board and FlowStone which in turn activates a relay if the code is a match.
We ordered 100 of the final production FlowPaws last week and these have now been made and have been shipped out today to DSPRobotics HQ ..
Update: 14/11/2014
The Paws have landed!
The 1st ever production FlowPaw opened!
FlowPaw was one of the main features at the Raspberry Pi Jam/Hackathon at the National STEM center in York on Saturday. Carl Owen CEO of DSPRobotics did a ‘Big Talk’ on FlowPaw & FlowStone in the main lecture theater as well as demoing FlowPaw connected to FlowStone and the Raspberry Pi in the demo area.
It was a very busy day with hundreds of people in attendance and FlowPaw was a big hit with people literally queuing all day to get a closer look!
We had the new FlowPaw Bluetooth wireless Rover whizzing around he floor avoiding obstacles controlled from FlowStone, FlowPaw controlling an robot Arm from LynxMotion via Raspberry Pi using a Python Script. A cool Pan-Tilt Webcam controlled via the servo outs with the webcam video displayed in FlowStone, even a software musical synthesizer controlled from the proximity and accelerometer sensors and a DMX disco light!
People were amazed how easy it was to program in FlowStone!

Thanks to the staff and pupils of:
Crich Junior School, Tupton Hall School & Brookburn Community Primary School
Currently we support around 10 Click Boards for the FlowPaw Claws:
We have 10 more planned in the next few weeks
Here’s something really cool – the SpeakUp Click board for FlowPaw does Speech Recognition! Record spoken phrases into the SpeakUp Click board using the recording software that comes with it. Then plug it into your FlowPaw and talk to it! It then outputs an index (1,2,3,4 etc.) depending on the phrase you say.
We used it here to play music tracks on Spotify using FlowStone
Here’s the video:
Having fun with the FlowPaw & FlowStone today we made a Finger Synth! This is a great way to learn about programming, music, and frequencies.
Here the video of it working:
