Systems and Control Flashcards
What does PICs stand for?
Programmable integrated circuits
What can mechanisms be used for?
Add moving parts
What are the four types of movement?
Linear
Rotating
Oscillating
Reciprocal
What is a Linear movement?
Moves in one direction only
What is a Rotational movement?
Moving in a circle
What is a Reciprocal movement?
Moving backwards and forwards
What is Oscillating movement?
Moving from side to side
What is a common way to create or alter movement?
Pivots
Name two types of pivot
Fixed pivot
Floating pivot
What are linkages?
Convert 1 type of mechanical motion to another e.g. push and pull linkages
What are PICs?
What are they programmed to do?
Computers contained on a small electronic chip
Make different things happen and add extra interest to graphic products
Name three different ways to add interest to graphic products?
Types of motion
Mechanisms
Basic electronics
