In the morning session we discussed motors in depth, specifically servo motors. We then discussed how to manipulate motor functions (position, speed, and direction) with a Basic Stamp 2 microcontroller and PBasic program, primarily with the PULSOUT command. We investigated charge/discharge times of capacitors in resistor-capacitor circuits by using the Rctime command in PBasic. This allowed us to measure analog changes in resistive sensors. We also worked with a transistor (BJT) to control current in a circuit. Finally, we created circuitry containing multiple ICs, including a digital potentiometer and a BJT.
