| eBlock |
Diagram |
Description |
Interface |
| Temperature Sensor |
 |
Device outputs the current temperature
in Fahrenheit. |
output = current temp (F) |
| Distance Sensor |
 |
Sensor outputs the distance between the
device and another object. |
output = distance (ft) |
| Output/Display eBlocks |
| eBlock |
Diagram |
Description |
Interface |
| Integer Display |
 |
Device displays the integer value recieved. |
Displays the input. |
| Arithmetic/Logic eBlocks |
| eBlock |
Diagram |
Description |
Interface |
| Threshold |
 |
Device determines if input is <= x or input
>= x, depending on what switch is set to. |
>= x MODE:
output = yes, (input >= x)
output = no, (input < x)
<= x MODE:
output = yes, (input <= x)
output = no, (input > x) |
| Range |
 |
Device determines if the input is within
the x and y range (inclusive). |
output = yes, x <= input <= y
output = no, input < x OR input > y |
| Equation/Math |
 |
User defines the function of the math
block, and the block calculates A function B. |
output = A function B |
| Turnstile Counter |
 |
The value held by the counter is
incremented by the input value. The rst input will reset this
value to zero. |
INPUT:
input = yes, increment value held by 1
input = no, increment value held by 0
input = num, increment value held by num
OUTPUT:
output = value held by counter block |
| Constant |
 |
The user specifies a constant value. |
value = user defined |
| Timer eBlocks |
| eBlock |
Diagram |
Description |
Interface |
| Seconds Timer |
 |
The user selects the granularity of the time kept track
of. When timer is activated it counts by the granularity
specified. |
INPUT:
start = yes, activate time
start = no, stop nothing
rst = yes, reset the timer to zero
OUTPUT:
output = time passed since start set to yes and rst set
to no. |
| Communication eBlocks |
| eBlock |
Diagram |
Description |
Interface |
| Wireless Transmitter |
 |
Device wirelessly transmits a signal. |
yes = input is yes
no = input is no |
| Wireless Receiver |
 |
Device wirelessly receives a signal. |
yes = yes recieved
no = no recieved |
| Splitter |
 |
Receives a signal and replicates that signal on each
output. |
OUTPUT:
yes = input yes
no = input no |
| Miscellaneous eBlocks |
| eBlock |
Diagram |
Description |
Interface |
| Turnstile Logger |
 |
Device keeps a list of inputs; the
input value is logged when the log input is yes.
Later the list of inputs can be retrieved from the
logger unit. The list is cleared when reset is
yes.
*We have not yet defined how to
read the times from the logger. |
log = yes, log the current input value
log = no, do nothing
rst = yes, clear input values held by logger |
Possible Integer eBlock Additions
- weight sensor
- pressure sensor
- moisture sensor
- voice recognition
- wind sensor
- flow meter
- selective splitter(int sent to indicate which out goes to yes)
- data logger (tracks the int value instead of yes/no)
- dimmer/intensifier - most likely useful in indicating
needed signal strength in rx/tx devices
