Notes and tests:

  1. Put caliper boxes away
  2. Start “2305 Lab 1 test.cap” from 'Class Notes\Test Files\2305 Tests\'. Make sure the switch is set to wide range, move in front of the motion detector, and make sure it registers correctly. Attach the ball to the drop box and make sure the switch drops the ball, and registers the time of flight correctly.
  3. The Charge time on the capacitors is not always exactly what the blinking light shows. if a ball dropper has trouble dropping a ball, wait 5-10 seconds after the light has stopped blinking to drop it.
