Brushed DC Motors: the most common type of motors used on our robots.
Brushed DC Motors
Materials Needed
Procedure:
How does the Brake/Coast jumper affect operation?
What happens when the load is applied to the motor?
Command motor to specific angle
Same as position servos but, control circuitry is modified.
Command motor to extension
Similar to rotary servo, but extends and retracts
Materials Needed
Procedure:
What will happen when an external force is applied?
Electrically control air flow.
B: Spring return
A: Solenoid
What do these symbols mean?!@#
C: Depicting how air will flow between numbered ports for different valve positions
D: Manual actuator
Allows control of pneumatics components over CAN bus
Wire & Plumb up a simple pneumatic system
