Pull-up resistors Pull-up resistors are not a special kind of resistors; They are fixed-value resistors which are used to ensure that a wire is pulled to a high logical level in the absence of an input signal. They are connected between the voltage supply (usually +5V) and the appropriate pin, which results in defining the input or output voltage when there is no driving signal. Pull up resistors pull up a pin to a HIGH state. Pull-down resistors Pull-down resistors also work like pull-up resistors, except that they pull the pin to a logical low value. They are connected between ground and the appropriate pin on a device. Pull down resistors pull down a pin to a LOW state.

For anyone interested, we run a public MQTT broker for the Fab Academy students, especially useful for the networking week as I have been told.

Based on https://mosquitto.org/ server: mqtt.fabcloud.org port: 1883 username: fabacademy password: fabacademy channel/topic: fabacademy/ you can add your own sub-topic within fabacademy to keep messages organised just for your application/devices. (ie. your lab name and/or username, like fabacademy/paris-john) Websocket support: wss://mqtt.fabcloud.org:8083

Week12¶

Week13¶

-Young modulus kamakura machine - PicoNC is a hackable motor controller board with 4 stepper, 2 level shifted servo outputs and three limit switch inputs. It is good for learning as you can use Arduino or MicroPython libraries to stitch together your firmware and get a better understanding how NC works. https://gitlab.com/kriwkrow/pico-nc
