3.1.1 Inputs and Outputs

In this activity, our group learned about digital inputs and analog inputs. We also learned about outputs, and how they can be used to control a buzzer and motor, by using the fischertechnik ROBO TX Controller.

Digital Inputs

Switch normally open, no voltage present

Press switch, voltage now present. Represented by 1.

Mini Switch normally closed. Voltage present without pressing switch.

Press the switch, no more voltage present

Analog Inputs

Using the Potentiometer to resemble analog inputs

Outputs

Motor output spinning

Test Interface allows us to control the inputs and outputs. In this case, the motor output.
