Introduction
The BeeSpi timer and photogate is a great resource for any physics toolbox. It serves as a compact and easy-to-use alternative where large photogate setups are unnecessary and cumbersome. A simple track and toy car can become an in- depth investigation into speed, velocity, and acceleration. Since the BeeSpi contains two photogates, velocity can be found from the object’s front edge, and no length measurement is needed.
Instructions
Press the “start” button to turn on the BeeSpi. To switch from speed to lap
time measurements, press and hold the “start” button. When measuring speed,
hold down the “select” button to change the units of measurement. The display
will flash the unit being selected while the button is being pressed.
To begin measurements, press “start.” The display will begin flashing the unit
symbol (top diagram). When an object breaks the beams of the photogate, the
measurement will be displayed (bottom diagram). The memory function will
record up to 5 measurements. The stored measurements can be accessed by
pressing the “select” button. The measurement is indicated by a boxed number
(1-5) above the main display. “1” is the most recent measurement and “5” is
the earliest measurement. The memory is cleared by changing units or switching
modes.
To change or install the batteries, simply slide off the back cover and install new batteries, being sure to observe proper polarity.
