How do I make a flowchart?

Question

Okay, I know how to make a flowchart. I'm just confused as to what to put inside the boxes with the information I've been given.

I'm working through a practice question for an upcoming exam. I had no problem doing the previous part of the question which actually gave me a list. I'm not really sure what to do with this one and would like to gain a bit more confidence and understanding before my exam next week.

I'm not asking you make a flowchart, but I'd like to know how to illustrate these tasks within it.

read the setting of the rotary knob and wait for it to become non-zero.
set the motor to the correct speed
display the indication of speed on the 2-digit 7-segment display
start a timer
calculate, display and update the equivalent distance travelled
check whether the Stop button has been pressed and, if so, stop the motor

Answer 1

You're simply going to ask the questions again, in the simplest way possible.



"read the setting of the rotary knob and wait for it to become non-zero."



Becomes something like "rotary knob non-zero?"
