An innovative accessory for the PASCO Smart Cart!
When the Smart Fan Accessory is connected to a Smart Cart it allows for an unprecedented level of programmability and functionality.
Students can wirelessly control the Smart Fan Accessory using PASCO software, turning it on or off, or adjusting the amount of thrust. More advanced features are also available*. Users can program specific start/stop conditions and the Smart Fan Accessory can even be controlled using calculations based on measurements from the Smart Cart's onboard sensors or from other PASCO sensors. This makes it a great option for investigations into closed-loop control.
Compatible with all other PASCO dynamics carts as well.
The Smart Fan Accessory can be connected and used with any PASCO dynamics cart to demonstrate basic principles of motion. It can be used as a simple fan in manual push button mode, adjusting between low, medium, and high speeds.
Controlling the Smart Fan Accessory using PASCO Capstone.
The Smart Fan Accessory (ME-1242) is an accessory for the:
The Smart Fan Accessory connects directly to a Smart Cart using the included cable. Once the Smart Cart is paired normally in PASCO software, the Smart Fan Accessory then will be available for control through either SPARKvue or Capstone software.
When using SPARKvue a slider control allows for a variable amount of positive or negative thrust.
When using PASCO Capstone controls allow for adjustments the level of thrust, the ability to set start/stop conditions, and even the use of calculations for precise control of the fan. This allows for remote "sense and control" operation where the Smart Fan Accessory responds to feedback from the Smart Cart and/or other PASCO sensors and adjusts thrust level and direction accordingly.
The Smart Fan Accessory uses 4 AA batteries.
