Components - Page 3. Electronic Components for the Meccano/MeccanIC system. |
Single switch mounted on a simple plate. These plates could be provided with
a bend in them but this is probably adequate |
A relay mounted on a Meccano plate. Smaller relays could also be used but are
of course more fragile. DPDT relays are more useful for our purposes. |
Small mircoswitch mounted on a Meccano plate. Note that this plate is the same
size as was shown on the larger microswitch. |
Paired switches are nice because one can be an on-off switch and the other can be
a DPDT reversing switch or control a relay or a second motor. Flexibility
is the key requirement for the MeccanIC system |
