Control Node Voltage Sensor

Description

The Voltage Sensor has two input ports for analog voltages, two input ports for digital voltages that return a 1 or 0, and two push-buttons that return a 1 when pushed. Each of the analog and digital ports has a 5 V DC output pin to power home-made sensors or Arduino-type sensors that can be purchased elsewhere. For a list of compatible sensors, see the list on the Documents tab.

Each of the inputs has two ways to connect to wires:
1 3-pin male connector: Slide with the included female-to-male wires onto each pin or use a female 3-pin connector to 3 wires.
2 Push-button connector block: Push the button and insert a bare wire, then release the button.
There are also two green LEDs which can be activated using Blockly programming in PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue. All the voltage inputs and the push-buttons are also available to be used in Blockly.

Features
Two digital inputs
Two analog voltage inputs
Two push-buttons
Two white LEDs
Connects to the Sensor Port on the //control.Node
Powered by the //control.Node
Programmable with Blockly in PASCO Capstone or SPARKvue
Connect to inputs with 3-pin header or push-button terminal block
5 V pin available to power sensors

Applications
Measure analog voltages.
Power a photogate and detect when the beam is interrupted.
Detect when a limit switch has been activated.
Make your own analog sensor, powered by 5 V.
Detect when a button is pushed.
Measure voltage of a solar cell.
Create a reaction timer: Use Blockly to program the LED to randomly light up and then time how long it takes until the button is pushed.
