Motorised Structures
Control Node Voltage Sensor
Control Node Voltage SensorThis general purpose voltage sensor plugs into the Sensor port on the //control.Node. The sensor readings are transmitted via Bluetooth by the //control.Node.
Limit Switch
Limit SwitchThis Limit Switch is used to limit the motion of Motorized Structures. The Limit Switch is plugged into a digital input on the //control.Node Voltage Sensor (PS-3349) which is plugged into the Sensor Port on the //control.Node (PS-3232). When the Limit Switch is activated by pressing up against an object, the Voltage Sensor detects a change in state.
Limit Switch Holder
Limit Switch HolderThis holder attaches a limit switch to PASCO Structures.
Motorised Crane
Motorised CraneThe Motorized Crane is made using PASCO Structures and is controlled and powered by the //control.Node. Students can program the controller to run the stepper motor and servo motors using Blockly coding embedded in PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue software.
Motorised Drawbridge
Motorised DrawbridgeBuild this drawbridge from PASCO Structures, add a stepper motor and gears, and write code to raise and lower it. This bridge kit also includes a Wireless Load Cell/Accelerometer to measure forces within the bridge while it moves.
StructureBOT
StructureBOTThis versatile robot is constructed out of PASCO Structures components, enabling students to build several different configurations of the StructureBOT (front-wheel steering, rear-wheel steering, with and without the gripper).
