About PASCO

Students need modern tools and technology to succeed in STEM. At PASCO, we have been creating and manufacturing award-winning, hands-on science education tools and datalogging solutions since 1964. With our unique blend of dedication and experience, we think no one combines innovative, easy-to-use products with world-class support like we do.

 

Our very first product, the PASCO Millikan Oil Drop Apparatus, set the bar for our company: to create innovative products that exceed existing offerings or that are completely new to the marketplace. We continually strive to accomplish that goal, while helping educators stretch their budgets as far as possible, without compromising quality.

 

For the first few decades, our focus was on first-rate physics apparatus, something that is still one of our hallmarks. PASCO remains the premier supplier of high quality apparatus for physics and engineering labs. Eventually we branched out, as we became one of the first companies to offer sensors, interfaces, and data collection and analysis software. From there our product line has continued to grow. Anywhere we see an opportunity to put modern tools in the hands of science educators and students, we develop the best products in the market to fit that need.

 

The drive to innovate continues today. When creating new products, our first questions are “How will this help teachers and students?” and “What makes this product different?” Our line of wireless sensors and the innovative Smart Cart, as well as our new interactive textbooks, continue our tradition of doing our best to serve science education.

PASCO's product line covers Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Optics, Electronics, Magnetism, Wave Theory, Atomics, Chemistry, Biology, Environment, Geography, Engineering, and more. Suitable for science experiments in primary, middle, and high schools, as well as basic physics/biochemistry in universities. It can be used for group experiments or independent open design innovation.

The 32 bit PICmicro microcontroller is programmed by a host device which is a standard 18 series PICmicro microcontroller. This host device takes care of non-core tasks like USB communications, LCD display, encoder and switch inputs. This architecture keeps the main 32bit device free for signal processing.

 

Two E-blocks ports are made available for expansion. E-block boards for Wifi, keypad, Bluetooth, CAN, Zigbee and many other functions are available, along with a Grove connector, giving huge flexibility. The analogue input signals are buffered and level shifted to half of the supply voltage – 1.65V – and then fed to the internal A to D converters of the main 32 bit PICmicro microcontroller.

 

A digital potentiometer allows the level of the input signals to be adjusted in software. The board is fitted with a number of switches and encoders for control purposes. The board also has a miniature monochrome graphical display and a number of programmable LEDs including 2 x 8 LED VU meter LEDs. The board is powered from 3.3V from USB or from a plug top power supply.

About PASCO

Students need modern tools and technology to succeed in STEM. At PASCO, we have been creating and manufacturing award-winning, hands-on science education tools and datalogging solutions since 1964. With our unique blend of dedication and experience, we think no one combines innovative, easy-to-use products with world-class support like we do.

 

Our very first product, the PASCO Millikan Oil Drop Apparatus, set the bar for our company: to create innovative products that exceed existing offerings or that are completely new to the marketplace. We continually strive to accomplish that goal, while helping educators stretch their budgets as far as possible, without compromising quality.

 

For the first few decades, our focus was on first-rate physics apparatus, something that is still one of our hallmarks. PASCO remains the premier supplier of high quality apparatus for physics and engineering labs. Eventually we branched out, as we became one of the first companies to offer sensors, interfaces, and data collection and analysis software. From there our product line has continued to grow. Anywhere we see an opportunity to put modern tools in the hands of science educators and students, we develop the best products in the market to fit that need.

 

The drive to innovate continues today. When creating new products, our first questions are “How will this help teachers and students?” and “What makes this product different?” Our line of wireless sensors and the innovative Smart Cart, as well as our new interactive textbooks, continue our tradition of doing our best to serve science education.

PASCO's product line covers Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Optics, Electronics, Magnetism, Wave Theory, Atomics, Chemistry, Biology, Environment, Geography, Engineering, and more. Suitable for science experiments in primary, middle, and high schools, as well as basic physics/biochemistry in universities. It can be used for group experiments or independent open design innovation. It can also be used as a demonstration experiment in class and is compatible with international school AP, IB, and STEM experimental courses.

Together with Flowcode, Sysblocks provides a new way of teaching about signal processing for music technology, digital signal processing (DSP), communications and digital radio techniques.

 

Using a high speed, high power, 32bit PICmicro micro controller running at 200MHz, we are able to offer a comprehensive way of learning that is both cost and size effective for a classroom environment.

 

Sysblocks has four analogue inputs, two analogue outputs and support circuitry. The 32 bit PICmicro microcontroller is programmed by a host device which is a standard 18 series PICmicro microcontroller. This host device takes care of non-core tasks like USB communications, LCD display, encoder and switch inputs. This architecture keeps the main 32bit device free for signal processing.

 

Two E-blocks ports are made available for expansion. E-block boards for Wifi, keypad, Bluetooth, CAN, Zigbee and many other functions are available, along with a Grove connector, giving huge flexibility. The analogue input signals are buffered and level shifted to half of the supply voltage – 1.65V – and then fed to the internal A to D converters of the main 32 bit PICmicro microcontroller.

 

A digital potentiometer allows the level of the input signals to be adjusted in software. The board is fitted with a number of switches and encoders for control purposes. The board also has a miniature monochrome graphical display and a number of programmable LEDs including 2 x 8 LED VU meter LEDs. The board is powered from 3.3V from USB or from a plug top power supply.
