IN CLASS: Feb. 8, 2012, sensors to actuators
We continue our work with sensing circuits (using photoresistors) and actuators (LEDs, incandescent light bulbs, motors, and servos). Connect the necessary components on a bread-board to do the following:
- One photo resistor controlling the rotation of a servo motor
- One photo resistor controlling the brightness of an LED
- One photo resistor controlling the brightness of an incandescent light bulb
- One photo resistor controlling the speed of a DC motor
Once the circuitry and the Max patch for the above set of mappings is complete, the begin integrating elements from your collection of very-small-things, by attaching some of your collected items to your motors and servos, and lighting other collected items with LEDs and light bulbs
