SCHEMATIC
ONE – MANUAL CONTROL After discussing how
relays work we are going to build our first circuit. It’s
going to be a very simple circuit just to get you off the
ground and start off right. Were going to make a manually
controlled relay circuit. Basically you will push a switch
and cause a relay to activate a pneumatic valve or dc motor
|

Manual
valve control Ok,
this is as EASY as I can make it, and still make something
happen! You can easily find an application for this circuit.
It's manually controlled so yes, you need to push a button
to make the POP up Prop activate, but that really gives you
the ultimate control.
We just need to start slow so that no
one get's left behind. As you can see, the 'schematic' or
drawing is easy to understand and EASY to put together.
This circuit controls a pneumatic valve
or DC motor. The pneumatic valve allows pressurized air to
create motion and raise our prop

| Making animatronic control circuits is fun, but it can be
complicated, so I always use a test board like this to build
the circuits and test them before actually soldering them together
on the project board. You will need one of these. I bought this
one on line for about ten dollars. |

 |
So once we make the circuit up on the breadboard, we test
the relay with a light to see if it works correctly... It does,
so now we can solder up this simple circuit and use it for whatever
we want! See? I said it would be easy! |
| Well, this is fully explained on the DVD and you get the schematic
drawing that you can print out! The parts are easy to get, the
circuit is easy to build and if you can make this circuit,
you can add pneumatics or dc motors to your Halloween Setup!...

Now, let's Leap forward and see some
Pneumatic TIMERS! --->

Schematic (circuit drawing) comes complete with a full parts
list including where to order the parts and the part numbers
to order - You can order them online and I give you the links
too! |
