I'm presently going to school at Pitt Community College in Greenville, NC and starting in the Electrical/Electronics class. I recently found out about "stamps" and would like to get some more info on what they are capable of working. I guess I'm trying to run before I can walk, but I know what I need to learn to do what I want . I have an I idea that I think they may be able to operate but need to find out if they are capable of doing what I need at a reasonable price.
BTW, next year is when we get into PLC programming, but I need to get started now to try to get the idea I have completed. Any ideas on what would be a good starting point after reading what I want to do in the rest of this below?
Here's what I need to do:
1) Using an O2 sensor with a 0-1 VAC output as the input signal to the stamp.
2) Have the stamp give me a Ground output to a 20 light LED bar graph display.
Example: 1 LED = 0 V, 20 LEDs = 1 V 10-11 LEDs would be around .5 V
3) Use the same Ground output to supply the Base of a fast switching Transistor.
4) I'll install a set of DIP switches to select which output LED I want to power the transistors.
5) The O2 reference voltage will be fast switching in the Ms range, how fast will a stamp operate?
