The mission that was set before Dave and myself this week was to create a functional prototype of our system interfacing with the valves through the relay and to actually control the flow of liquid using our CO2 powered system.
Tube Coupling, the finer points
The first task was to find fittings and or couplings to attach […]
This week our goal was to get the Linux box that we have set up for our Senior Design project to be able to interface with our 2 connected 8-port relays via the Serial (DB-9) Port, and we succeeded!A little background information:
Server OS - Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake)
Computer Hardware -
Processor: 1GHz Pentium III
