Makingthings Stepper Block seems like it might work for a project idea I have but I wanted input on what the group could suggest would be the best way to...
Does anyone know where to buy a proper power supply for the teleo? I have looked at a couple places and kind find one that matches. Thanks, Steve -- Steve...
I think I know how to create this but maybe someone can validate my idea. I want to use a motor with a propeller on it to act as a wind sensor. The wind being...
Hey Bret, Not sure if anyone answered this or not, but you would probably be better off using the piezo reed sensor to sense air pressure / movement... This...
Hey Steve, You can get them direct from makingthings.com or you can order one from somewhere like bgmicro.com or allelectronics.com or jameco.com. if you order...
Scott Snibbe did something with a breath sensor last year. Might be worth looking at? http://www.snibbe.com/scott/breath/blowup/index.html By the way, I put...
i think u had man a good dession in selecting the siepper moter and if u want to control the moter so that it have to stop at that paticula point then u have...
Our iCubeX died, well I'm not even sure it ever worked properly in the first place since I 'inherited' it from another dept... what does this have to do with...
Hi there - just to comment quickly on the sensors...the Teleo boards will work great with any device out there that can spit out a 0-5V signal, and this list...
Can sombodt point me toward resources about how to develop low cost sensors? Assume they will either: plug into a smart host (the new Make controller) that ...
Please forgive the stupid question but I have looked everywhere for docs on this. I understand that supplying 0-5V to the inputs will make the servos turn. But...
Hi Brett, I4 - doesn't exist - it's only present on the diagram in the doc. That is an error on our part. R - is the input to control the rate of servo...
Helps tons. Thanks david. Since the blocks are being discontinued I suppose there really isn't much point in making a better docs page. If there is i don't...
Ok one more question. When hooking the block up to the intro module do you use the digital outs or the PWM outs? Does the voltage effect the speed of the servo...
You can use the two PWM's to control servos, or one PWM to control a servo and another to control the servo rate. The jumper connects the trimpot to the R...
Hi all, I had a few questions about controlling the stepper block through the PWM and/or digital outs. It is related to the servo block input question. I...
Hey Mat, I think you're good to go with one Intro Module. Use a PWM through low pass filter for each. You'll send duty cycles to the PWM's to get them to ...
Outside of the modules and motors, what do I need to buy to make a low-pass filter? More specifically, how to I create one with a 10K resistor and the 10uf...
So this is where my lack of electronics experience kicks in. On a capacitor does the voltage it is rated for effect anything. For example can I use a 10uf...
The voltage rating of the capacitor must be higher than the any voltage the capacitor will have across it. In the Teleo PWM outputs, the highest voltage will...

Thanks Don. They are electrolytic and i probably would have fried it if you didn't mention that. I feel a bit under experienced. Brett ... voltage the...
Hi Brett, I¹m pretty inexperienced with electronics too but I¹ve discovered some sites with a lot of useful and easy to follow info which might help you: ...
http://picasaweb.google.com/mathew.crane/LowPassFilter1/photo#4961720937273884690 Both lights are going... power to both the module and the block. I tested the...
I have created the low pass filter and it seems to work. Hooking up the circuit is throwing me for a loop. All of the diagrams show V+ connecting to the PWM. I...
I'm having a very similar problem with the stepper block (see the last message posted). I posted a picture of my setup - in that folder is another picture of...
Hello Mat, I have the block being powered ok. The servo block takes 4 inputs from 0 to 5V that control the position of the servo. It is my understanding that...
