-
Pulse
-
Astable
- 555
- Controlled by 2 resistors
- Contolled by 1 capacitor
- Rate of pulse measured in Hz.
- Calculated by--
-
Decade Counter (4017)
- Counts 0 to 9.
-
Moves on one count when power applied to pin 14
- Use an monostable for this
- Can be used to flash the 10 leds if fitted to the astable
-
Potential Divider
- Two resistors stretch between 0 and 9 volts.
- One is replaced with a sensor e.g. LDR.
- Gives an analogue output.
-
PIC Microcontroller
- Uses a range of differant sized IC's.
- Programmed using a PC
- Requires a download circuit
- requires a voltage regulator to reduce voltage to 5.5v
-
Transistor
-
Amplifies the voltage
- requires only 0.7 to turn on.
- Is a switch
