ACTIVITY #7: INCREASING SENSOR RESPONSE
While testing the various encoder wheels in Activity #6, you probably encountered a
point where the RPM and count is abnormally low or zero. The response time of the
sensor is insufficient to read the rapidly changing light levels in order to produce a
sufficient change in signal level for the BASIC Stamp to count.
How can the response time be increased? Recall from Chapter 3 that the response of a
transistor is largely dependent on the size of R
still drop asufficient voltage? If R
drop to cross the threshold and produce a LOW signal when in conduction.
The circuit needs a low value of R
Vss and Vdd. One solution is to use a Darlington Pair arrangement, like the one shown
in Figure 4-25. A first stage transistor, Q

a high voltage swing, or gain using the second stage.
