Review: The Definitive Guide to Building Java Robots

Using Java on a robot would have seemed crazy just a few years ago but every day we're reporting on microcontrollers and laptops with faster CPUs and more memory. You might as well put all that memory and horsepower to use. So if you like programming in Java, there's really no reason not to try it out on a robot. Scott's book provides a good introduction to using Java with sensors, motors and other robot necessities. He also covers navigation, speech, and vision.

Title: The Definitive Guide to Building Java Robots. Correct use of Ohm's Law : SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS - Pale Moon. One of the most common mistakes made by beginning electronics students in their application of Ohm's Laws is mixing the contexts of voltage, current, and resistance.

Correct use of Ohm's Law : SERIES AND PARALLEL CIRCUITS - Pale Moon

In other words, a student might mistakenly use a value for I through one resistor and the value for E across a set of interconnected resistors, thinking that they'll arrive at the resistance of that one resistor. Not so! Remember this important rule: The variables used in Ohm's Law equations must be common to the same two points in the circuit under consideration. I cannot overemphasize this rule. This is especially important in series-parallel combination circuits where nearby components may have different values for both voltage drop and current. The "table" method presented for both series and parallel circuits in this chapter is a good way to keep the context of Ohm's Law correct for any kind of circuit configuration. Big Horsepower Or Gobs Of Torque. In Depth Stop by a newsstand and check out the cover headlines on almost any motorcycle magazine and the first things you'll see are topics such as "Gain 10 easy horsepower," or "Increase horsepower and torque with quick bolt-ons," or "Add pound-feet of torque the easy way.

Big Horsepower Or Gobs Of Torque

" Terms like horsepower and torque are tossed around frequently, but seldom are they defined. Consequently, you are often left with many unanswered questions. Regardless of whether you ride a heavyweight bagger, medium-size cruiser or lightweight Sporty, understanding the differences between horsepower and torque can help you make educated decisions when choosing performance parts for your model of bike and riding style. Interestingly, horsepower and torque are closely related. The point in the engine's rpm band at which torque is made and the amount of torque made will determine whether the engine is considered a torque- or horsepower-type of motor. Work is the measurement of a force exerted in a straight line. 1. Tax Preparation Software, FREE Tax Filing, Efile Taxes, Income Tax Returns. How to make a Golden Spiral or Fibonacci Spiral.

Sacred geometry is geometry that is sacred to the observer or discoverer. This meaning is sometimes described as being the language of the God of the religion of the people who discovered or used it. Sacred geometry can be described as attributing a religious or cultural value to the graphical representation of the mathematical relationships and the design of the man-made objects that symbolize or represent these mathematical relationships.
