Support by Product

The Go! Link was designed to be a low-cost interface, and does not support several physics-related sensors. It is designed primarily for use in grades K-8, but can also work as a basic computer-only interface in several other science areas.

The sensors that do not work with Go!Link include:
Microphone, order code MCA-BTA, $39
3-Axis Accelerometer, order code 3D-BTA, $99 (Note that this sensor uses 3 separate BTA connections, so you could use just one of the three accelerometers with a Go!Link)

All Digital Sensors, including:
Motion Detector, order code MD-BTD, $79
Photogate, order code VPG-BTD, $45
Digital Control Unit, order code DCU-BTD, $61
Drop Counter, order code VDC-BTD, $99

Rotary Motion Sensors:
Pasco Rotary Motion Sensor, order code RMS-BTD, \Contact Us
Rotary Motion Sensor, order code RMV-BTD, $169

Radiation Monitors:
Student Radiation Monitor, order code SRM-BTD, \Contact Us
Radiation Monitor, order code RM-BTD, \Contact Us
Digital Radiation Monitor, order code DRM-BTD, $299

Some older sensors and specialty sensors, including:
Current & Voltage Probe System (NO LONGER AVAILABLE), order code CV-BTA, \Contact Us
CO2 Gas Sensor, order code CO2-BTA, $249 (manufactured before 2008).
EKG Sensor, order code EKG-DIN, \Contact Us
Heat Pulser for LabPro, order code HP-BTD, $49
