ELECTRONICS PRIMER II Operational Amplfier Operational Amplifiers take
ELECTRONICS PRIMER II Operational Amplfier Operational Amplifiers take small voltages and make them MUCH larger.
Golden Rules (Op amp with negative feedback): (1) No-current flows into either (+) or (-) inputs. (2) The (+) and (-) inputs are at the same voltage. Signal Conditioning Electrical engineers use operational amplifiers (Op Amps),
resistors, capacitors, diodes, transistors, etc. to perform mathematical operations like Multiplication/Division Addition/Subtraction Absolute Value Natural Log
Filters Inverting Gain Amplifier Gain = - R2 / R1
Non-Inverting Gain Amplifier Gain = (1 + R2 / R1) Summing Amplfier

Transducer A transducer is a device or structure that transforms a physical quantity into an electrical one or a device / structure that transforms an electrical quantity into a physical one. For example: A microphone transforms changes in sound
pressure level into changes in voltage. A condenser microphone is one in which a moving diaphragm alters the distance between two metal plates. This results in a proportional change in the capacitance of the plates. Another Transducer Example
A speaker transforms changes in voltage into sound pressure waves. Sensor We will use the term sensor in this class to denote any device used to sense the robots environment.
A senor is the transducer and any associated electronics needed to interface the transducer to the CBC. For example, even though a microphone converts changes in sound pressure level into changes in voltage, we can not directly connect a microphone to the CBC. The voltage levels are TOO SMALL. The microphone output
must first be amplified and perhaps filtered! Other Examples Where Capacitive Transducers Are Used Accelerometer Fluid Level Sensor
Digital Signals A digital signal can take on only one of two voltages: 0 Volts and 5 Volts. The CBC treats 0 Volts as logical TRUE and the 5 Volt signal as logical FALSE.
5 Volts 0 Volts A Simple Touch Sensor (Digital) Mechanical switches permit or interrrupt the flow of current.
WARNING: Mechanical switches BOUNCE!!!!! A few milliseconds. Simple Position Sensor (Analog) 47K for CBC digital port
15K for CBC analog port Noise All electronics circuits generate small, random electrical currents or voltages. Noise can also enter electronic circuits by means of electromagnetic waves generated by
things such as electric motors, radio stations, electric outlets. The CBCs digital circuits also serve as a noise source which may corrupt your sensor signals. Passive, RC, Lowpass Filter

Matthew 7:6 -- "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces." Think hyena rather than Fido.
Locard's Exchange Principle "Any action of an individual, and obviously the violent action constituting a crime, cannot occur without leaving a trace." This simply means that every time you make contact with another person, place, or thing, it results in...
We should never forget these fundamental and simple relationships for image quality. We should not think that aberrations, PSFs, MTFs are so much more important. But we are at a point where the next levels in understanding image quality and...
TIME UTILITY Getting the timing right to make a product available to consumers Requires looking ahead and anticipating what will be needed in the future. Marketers make changes to avoid or correct problems with timing. Time Utility is created when...
Le spectacle n'est terminé qu'après les saluts. Pour une entrée en scène, lorsque la musique s'arrête les comédiens entrent et se figent. Lors d'une scène muette, quand la musique commence les comédiens réalisent l'action prévue. Dès qu'elle s'arrête, ils reprennent...

Each individual part of our device operates in a range between 3.3 and 140 volts. Our high voltage supply needs to supply 140 volts. It supplies 400V at 12V, and through testing we have determined it can run 140V at...
