nanobot Posted May 5, 2011 CID Share Posted May 5, 2011 So I am required by my Vocational School to do a Senior Project next year, and I was wondering if some of you could offer me some assistance. I can't describe my intent in detail, but I need a few things. 1. An Engineering Program (To allow me to virtually create and emulate water, as well as electronic and physical devices. I need to be able to build a motor in it as well.) 2. An Electronic Engineering Program (I am building a little LED setup that I need to control with a circuit board, and I have no software to simulate this accurately. It only needs basic logic gate functions, AND, OR, NOR, NOT, XOR, NAND, XNOR, etc.) 3. A cheap supplier of steel. 4. A cheap supplier of PlexiGlass. If anyone knows of any resources that would help me, that would be extremely awesome! I will give you a virtual cookie!

mudmanc4 Posted May 5, 2011 CID Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looking into some of these thing for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanobot Posted May 8, 2011 Author CID Share Posted May 8, 2011 Update: I have found a program that does most of what I want. In light of that, I have designed the electrical part of my setup, and if there are any Electronic Logic Experts here that would like to comment on it, I will gladly discuss it with you in either PM or here. I have also found a location where I can (most) likely order all of the parts I need, all my Diodes, Transistors, Capacitors and LED's. I also need some Register's but I have no idea where to get those yet. The next thing I will need is a Clipper (To take a 80-100V AC signal and convert that to a DC pulse) so that I can build the clock. It will also need another register, unless someone knows where I can get a 6-10Hz clock for fairly cheap. Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted May 9, 2011 CID Share Posted May 9, 2011 If your getting singles then just use radioshack for the resistors , ( maybe thats old school but that where I used to get everything ) I dont know if they still have rectifiers or not, they've moved to mostly cell phones and garb of the likes.

nanobot Posted May 9, 2011 Author CID Share Posted May 9, 2011 Yeah, I talked to my Laboratory Instructor today and he said he has the resistors I need. (Shift Resistors) Me and the other guy on the project went through a discussion today to determine exactly what we wanted to construct for it, so I may not need the steel anymore. I will still need the PlexiGlass, as well as the other miscellaneous electronics items, which I can (most) likely get from my Lab Instructor.
