Lucas, Cat and Awe: Phidgets (**=answered)
**What is the benefit of the phidgets project platform over other more complicated platforms? Phidgets requires no programming. It is a "what you see, is what you get" system.
**How can you connect a phidgets device to a computer?
Using a USB cord or a wireless connecter
**If you were to move on to RFID tags, what possible uses on campus (including the elab) could you think of? We could put readers on the dorm room doors, the class room doors, or anywhere that requires a key to enter. We could almost completely replace the lock system we have now and have it so where ever there is a lock, a RFID reader would go in its place.
*Lookup your motor speed controller online: what are the max currents and voltages for this unit?
According to this chart, the reason the motor control board started smoking last class was because the current was too much for the board to handle, not because of the wires.
