KAI Lab is simple to use, you simply drag the appropriate Flow Chart element into the programming grid (shown below) and then assign all necessary paramters.

The Flow Chart elements available are shown in the image to the left. As well as the symbols for the sensor/actuator elements are programming flow control elements, i.e. Start, End, Repeat (for loop) and Goto.

The inclusion of these program flow icons enable students to extend their knowledge of sequential operations to learn about complex program flow techniques.

The Flowchart elements are simply dragged into a matrix, very similar the number of cells within a spreadsheet (see diagram below). The program flows down the matrix, i.e. (1,1) to (1,2) to .... to (1,x).
