Board of Education (BOE) The BOE is a programming board which holds the Basic Stamp. It also allows user to control LEDs, a potentiometer, motors and even the solenoids in this project. |
|
|
Basic Stamp 2 (BS2) The Basic Stamp is a microcontroller which uses PBasic programming language and is able to interpret input signals, and provide output signals.You can purchase this Board of Education with the Stamp in a kit for $119.00. |

12 volts DC motor geared down
Provides the work to raise or lower the incline. The motor is geared down to increase torque and decrease angular velocity |
|
|
Potentiometer 100K A variable resistor with an adjustable center connection. A pot is used to adjust the amount of current sent to the system. |
|
|
Push Solenoid
A device which contains a coil of wire that carries current and acts like a magnet when a current passes through it. The push solenoid is used at the top of our platform to fire the ping pong ball. |
|
|
Pull Solenoid
A device that contains a coil of wire that carries current and acts like a magnet when a current passes through it. The pull solenoid is used in this project to hold the car in place until the angle is raised to the appropriate degree |
|
|
Resistors Very small devices which are used to control current in an electric circuit by providing resistance. We used these resistors o control current through the H Bridge and the |
|
|
Transistors
A semiconductor device with three leads, a base, collector and emitter wwhich acts as an electronic switch. If a potential is present at the base then a small current flow through the base, this in turn allows a large current to pass through the collector and emitter
|
|
|
Infrared Emitter
A device which produces infrared light. |
|
|
Photo Transistors A transistor which uses received light as it base rather than a small current |
|
|
25 pin D Converter
Used to provided a convenient connection between the project’s circuit board and the Basic Stamp |
|
|
DC Power Jack The jack used on the outside of the box to allow the basic stamp to be wired outside the system |
|
|
QV306m4-P: pre-programmed RS232 playback
module This device allows our project to verbalize commands from the Basic Stamp |
|
|
ADC Converter
The Analog to Digital Converter converts and analog potential to a digital signal which can be interpreted by the Basic Stamp |
|
|
Momentary Push Button (SPST)
The push button provides a momentary electrical connection .
