Below are a list of sensors that DO NOT work with a Go!Link. For a list of sensors that do work with an Go!Link, see the
Compatible Sensors tab on the Go!Link web page.

The list indicates the Go!Link limitation followed by the sensors that do not work based on that limitation.

  1.  Go!Link has only one sensor port  
    • 3-Axis Accelerometer – any single channel (X, Y, or Z) works
    • Diffraction Apparatus – light sensor works, linear position does not
    • Polarimeter (Chemical) – light sensor works; angular position does not
    • Vernier Structures and Materials Tester (VSMT) – force sensor works; displacement does not
  2. Go!Link only supports analog sensors
    • Digital Control Unit – digital sensor
    • Drop Counter – digital sensor
    • Motion Detector – digital sensor
    • Motion Encoder System – digital sensor
    • Photogate – digital sensor
    • Projectile Launcher – digital sensor
    • Radiation Monitors – digital sensor (all models)
    • Rotary Motion Sensor – digital sensor
  3. Go!Link maximum sample rate 200 Hz
    • Microphone – Typical sample rate is 10000 Hz
  4. Go!Link cannot provide enough current
    • Ethanol Sensor
    • Force Plate (new version shipped starting November 2023) – older Force Plate works
    • Optical Dissolved Oxygen Sensor
  5. Older/Specialty Sensors
    • Current and Voltage Probe System – multiple connections
    • Carbon Dioxide Sensor (manufactured before 2008) – draws too much current (shipping version works)
    • DIN version of our EKG sensor – draws too much current (shipping version works)
    • Heat Pulser – digital sensor
