How Some Thinks are Connected

04/16/2015 12:51 PM

I dont have any idea for electrical things but my final year project include some and i am posting here in case that you can help me. I have to do the wiring scheme for how a load cell a relay a power source and actuator are connected. If anyone knows anything please answer.

Can you use a search engine?

If yes, search for " making electrical connections".

If no, quit school NOW!

i dont know if is that. In my design the load cell must connected to the analog pin of arduino. Then in the digital pin must connected a relay, an actuator and a power source.

That would do it. Is there no-one on an electrical course that you could work with, Mildred?

Thank you but I cannot say the same since if you want to progress you MUST do as much as possible by your self. I willing to help if you make a sketch how you think it has to be done and I will look at it and suggest how to do it better!

You will not be the first I helped but first I want to see that you make the effort to think by your self

Here is a hint for you... consider the wiring to be like hydraulic hoses. Each wire will have a starting point and an end point. Those... you have to figure out yourself.

And to think this might be a World leader one day. At least he's got the prerequisite "Cheating 101a" covered for his political career! Instructor; G W Bush and Lectures presented by William Clinton. Based upon Ronald Regan's proven leadership. Units: 5 (only if you don't get caught)

It depends on what you want to do with those devices. Please explain the desired course(s) of action, depending on what input(s).

Thinks are (almost) connected by synapses.

I am a little confused, isn't basic Electrical Engineering still a standard part of a Mechanical Engineering course (and visa versa)?

You mentioned connecting to a arduino microcontroller so you must have been given some electrical and microcontroller training and knowledge of electrical circuit construction if your project requires it (unless you chose your project yourself).

This really is homework. Try an internet search for the basics on the individual electrical parts if you have not come across them before, and remember - the final year project is as much about performing research and personal development as it is making and documenting something. A very good simulation of what you will experience in the real world.
