We also need something to act as a user input to the circuit. The user needs to be able to switch this input between 12 V (a logical 1) and 0 V (a logical 0). Since we've managed to use only KoP components up to this point, I'm wondering if we can find another KoP component to do this job, just for the fun of making a complete computational circuit out of nothing but KoP components. The cRIO, sidecar, and power distribution system aren't involved at all here.
Thanks for the help. |
put the servo jumpers from the digital sidecar on pwm cables to activate the coils, or use some other, similar kop part (such as a breakers on the pd board,)
The pd board could be used as a switch board, with out the crio or the sidecar. The breakers are just completing the circuits
