2.12 Lab - Pneumatics and Sensors

 

2.12.1 Theory

 

2.12.2 Procedure

 

1. There will be a brief demonstration of sensors and pneumatic components.

 

2. Build a basic pneumatics system, test it using a 3V signal for the inputs.

 

3. Connect the circuit to the AVR board and write a simple program to control the pneumatics

 

4. Use a voltage divider to reduce a sensor voltage, verify the range is approx. 3V.

 

5. Connect it to the AVR board and verify that the inputs can be read.

 

6. Write a program that reads the inputs from the sensors and controls the pneumatics.
