The PriNXT: A Working Printer Made From Lego

A new project, called the PriNXT, is a simple but effective printer built out of everyone’s favorite toy. The PriNXT by Leon Overweel is made from Lego’s Mindstorm system that lets you add motors and some programming magic to your Lego projects. Even though he's just 14 years old, Leon managed to build the PriNXT along with a number of other Lego projects--including a Skype-controlled Lego Car.

The printer essentially works like a traditional dot-matrix printer. A series of motors, controlled by the NXT set, positions the print-head (a marker in this case), and then steps it down to touch the paper to create one dot of the overall image. The printer does have some serious limitations at the moment: Its print area is just 50 by 50 dots, and in order to print an image, Leon has to convert it to black and white and then into binary.

Basic BJT Amplifier Configurations. Common Base Configuration Here the base is the common terminal.

Basic BJT Amplifier Configurations

Used frequently for RF applications, this stage has the following properties. Low input impedance, high output impedance, unity (or less) current gain and high voltage gain.Common Collector Configuration This last configuration is also more commonly known as the emitter follower. This is because the input signal applied at the base is "followed" quite closely at the emitter with a voltage gain close to unity.

The properties are a high input impedance, a very low output impedance, a unity (or less) voltage gain and a high current gain.
