Wednesday (2/16/11)

Warmup:

  • An airplane has an alarm that goes off in emergencies to tell the pilot to land. There are sensors to detect different events on the plane. Engine 1 and 2's sensors, S1 and S2, tell the pilot if they are operational or not. The plane must land if one of the engines fail. If the plane is low on fuel (S3), then the plane must land no matter what.
  • Draw the truth table for the above (be sure to identify what the variables mean)
  • Write out the full boolean expression for the truth table (all mini-terms)
  • Simplify the expression
  • Draw the logic circuit for it
  • Turn in your warmup for an assignment credit (be sure to put your name on it)

  • Final Dossier Deadline: Friday, March 25, 2011

Monday (2/14/11)

Warmup:

  • Using digital logic & design, draw the simplified logic circuit for the truth table on the board:
    1. Write out all the mini-terms for the truth table
    2. Write out the full boolean expression using all the mini-terms
    3. Simplify the boolean expression as much as possible
    4. Draw the logic circuit for the simplified expression

Agenda:

  • Turn in Dossier Criterion C3: Success Of Program
  • DLD word problems
    1. An automated robot is used to cut shapes from steel sheets. If the robot's cutting blade becomes both hot and blunt the robot must stop so that the blade can cool and be resharpened. Sensors S1 (hot state) and S2 (blunt state) are attached to the blade to detect these states. Water from a container is used to keep the blade cool during cutting. If the water level falls below a certain point a sensor S3 detects this state and the robot stops irrespective of the other states. A logic circuit is required to control the robot so that it stops cutting when the appropriate states occur.
    2. Create the Boolean table that represents the above logic
  • Dossier work time
  • How to take screen shots
