Notes

Nonselection Procedure

• We are using a four position switch for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and full bricks
• Switch has positions 0-4 - or 5 total
• The switch happens to have an off position (0) which does not make any connections
• We can use the non-selection condition to do a fifth pseudo-selection - the reset procedure
• Code for resetSelected (nonselection of all choices) is: if (quarterSelected() == false && halfSelected == false && threequarterSelected == false && fullSelected == false ) {}
• Testing this:

Cylinder Bounce Code Simulation

To test solenoids sensing pressure and reversing solenoids upon pressure trigger, ma nually simulated logic is the following. This simulates a cylinder bouncing between full retraction and full extension, which are both high pressure trigger points.

• Turn solenoid UP on - while pressure low
• Turn solenoid UP off - as soon as pressure triggers, and move solenoid Down.
• Trigger is done manually simply by switching pin 13 on (touching jumper from ground to 13)
• The opposite action occurs until the pressure is triggered again. Length of pressure trigger doesn't matter.
• If the pressure trigger is longer that 2 seconds, then we don't know where in the program loop we are and either UP or DOWN will occur
• In real life, the solenoid should be off momentarily, and next step should follow immediately
