Manufacturing of Soft Robotics

Control

Control with paper electronics

We will present a very didactic way of understanding the connections and of the motors and valve to control the soft robotics, using the following materials:
  1. _ copper tape
  2. _ Circuit Playground Express
  3. _ 3.3 v valve
  4. _ 1 (DC motor) air pump
  5. _ 2x npn tip120 transitor
  6. _ 2x 2.2 KOhm
  7. 2x 1 Diode

In the following picture you can find the schematic to print and make by yourself!


Follow the stripes and paste the copper tape in the paper, or use Conductive thread on textile, to make the circuit. Solder the connections for better results.
To keep the Playground circuit clean, you can attach the connections with conductive threads the Electronic components of your soft Robot
