Education/!Lego/Control/!ReadMe

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

LEGO DACTA CONTROL LAB FILES
SAFFRON WALDEN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL

Conveyor is a file which combines two of the models which can be made up from the lego plans. The conveyor belt model is placed alongside the robotic arm model. The conveyor belt runs coloured bricks along it, if the brick is yellow the belt will stop and the robotic arm will pick the brick up and place it in a container. To run the system load up Lego Dacta Control Lab, load the file and access the project page (page 3). The RUN button operates the system, the black arrow buttons will reset the robotic arm. 

Greenhouse is a system which runs with a home made grrenhouse window model. The model contains 
motora
soundb
touch1
temp2
angle5

Plans for the model can be obtained from the school along with teaching worksheets.
As the temperature rises above 30� the window will open and remain open until the temperature drops, the system will run until it is reset.
