Controlling
Produced by the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), these images are useful for adding to documents, presentations or for use with an interactive whiteboard. Mainly simple line drawings, they can be cut and pasted into documents and image processing applications. The images in this resource are related to the topic of control…
Mechanisms 14 to 16
Produced by the Technology Enhancement programme (TEP), these materials help students to understand and design mechanisms. They are described as having moving parts such as levers, gears and linkages in which the input action causes an output that might be very different. Early mechanisms were purely mechanical but they may now also…
The IQ3 Microcontroller Module
From the Technology Enhancement Programme (TEP), this book looks at a self-contained programmable device called the IQ3 which is capable of use in a wide variety of engineering contexts ranging from simple door interlocking to production line control and robotics. The IQ3 has four outputs each capable of sourcing approximately…
