A Boolean ones and zeros - Explobots
In A Boolean Ones and Zeros, students are introduced to Boolean
algebra and how it can be usefully applied in electrical,
electronic, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems.
They learn to construct truth tables for NO switches, NC switches
and series and parallel circuits which they can then later compare
with the truth tables of the electronic logic gates where they
learn to discover how they work in a number of research
assignments. The same comparison is also made with NG and NO valves
and OR and AND valves in pneumatics.
Throughout the project, the students get to know different sensors
and actuators and also learn how to use them in a variety of
situations by designing and making circuits. In addition, they are
briefly introduced to pneumatic components.
The professions of electronics fitter, PCB designer and pneumatics
fitter are covered in this project.
