Camboard/Order

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Simple Control

The interactive control program.

Release v1.0

  Simple Control is the exciting new program designed to introduce control
and LOGO style programming. Simple Controls' four programs centre around a 
simulated electronic control box, which is similar in operation and style to 
conventional control boxes used in schools.
This simulated control box enables the pupil to learn about control without 
the practical problems associated with an actual control box.
Simple Control is unique in that it combines a tutorial with embeded code
boxes for pupils to type in LOGO style commands, they can see the result of
these commands immediately in the simulated control box window.

Simple Control can be used with children who have no prior knowledge of 
control.

Simple Control contains four programs -

Direct Control - Point and click control with inputs, outputs and control
box windows.

Computer Control - Introduces programming the computer with LOGO style 
commands which interact with the simulated control box. 
       
Buggy - The control box is used to control a simulated buggy.

Control Simulations - Several examples of control systems.

Disk based worksheets are included.

Simple Circuits (software package)

Release v2.0

Simple Circuits is the essential package for understanding electricity and 
simple electric circuits at key stage 2 & 3(science and d&t) of the national curriculum.
Simple Circuits offers both a software and practical approach to making 
circuits.
Designed for use on the acorn range of computers. Running under the desktop
environment, means it takes advantage of risc os style menus and windows.

In the classroom

Simple Circuits is a derivative of the popular Camboard teaching sets, which are widely used in schools. Questions covering various aspects of the 
circuits are posed. Each answer is graded with a mark. A hard copy is 
available showing name, question and answer. 
A full component hardware package is included. Circuits are powered at a 
safe 6 volts by batteries (not included).

Simple Circuits covers these topics - component symbols, lighting a bulb, 
the switch, bulbs in series & parallel, resistance effects, controlling a 
motor & buzzer, along with a guide to electricity and batteries.


Simple to learn

The easy to use video recorder style controls make moving around the program a dodle.
Realistic on screen circuits enable children to construct these, on their
own circuit board.

Complete package

Simple Circuits is complete with software, user guide,  plastic circuit 
board, bulbs, switches, motor, resistors, buzzer, battery holder 
(requires 4 AA cell batteries) and connecting wire.

System requirements

Acorn computer (requires RISC OS 3.10 or higher & 2mb RAM).

Logic Gates & Counters

Full colour graphics
Logic gate simulations
Digital counter simulations
Easy to use
                                                                             Release v1.0

 Camboard Technology have produced a package for learning about Logic gates 
and digital counters for the Acorn & PC platform. 
Logic Gates & Counters removes the need for schools to purchase expensive 
hardware solely for the provision of teaching basic logic gates and counting systems. These days this is an important consideration.

Logic Gates & Counters includes three powerful applications -

Logic Gates
Introduces the main logic gates, with on screen user enabled simulations of
each gate.
Simulations mimic actual hardware by using switches and l.e.d's.
The Camboard approach enhances this by including dynamic binary logic status values, so the user can see a visual representation of the logic level by
way of a simulated l.e.d and its boolean property.
Each logic gate has a dedicated text screen with questions to answer, these 
are marked on screen.

Counters
The main 4 bit counter system is described incorporating a similar graphical approach to Logic Gates. The application starts with the 4 bit counter and 
leads on to hexadecimal counters.

Simulate
Driven from the bar menu's, Simulate combines solely the logic gates and 
three digital counters from the main applications, this allows all gates and counters to be used together on screen.
