Mr Bit Projects


Mr Bit projects are set in a variety of everyday scenarios which provide interesting contexts for designing and building simple control systems.  Each project poses design challenges involving analysing a brief, selecting suitable controls, linking them to sensors and devices, and creating programs.

There are two types of project:


    Control projects                                                               Maker projects

Dream Bedroom

Controls for ceiling light, electric heater, electric fan

Sensors: Magnetic reed (door), temperature

Motorbike

Controls for brake light, indicators and horn

Sensors: push buttons, microswitch


Car Dashboard

Controls for turning indicators, horn, hazard warning, alarm.

Sensors: switches, push button.


Drinks Machine

Controls for drinks selection lights, can delivery, information sign.

Sensors: push button, switch, microswitch.

Central Heating
