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’’.

Making a simple flow chart:

5 easy steps.

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.
