Lab Automation

From 757Labs

We're currently in the process of automating as much of the lab as possible. Ethan has brought in a bunch of AMX equipment to get us started.

[edit] What's Automated

  • Most lighting
  • Conference area projector (input selection, aspect, power on/off)
  • Arcade machine power control
  • Volume levels (4 zones)
  • Composite video switching (12 in, 8 out)
  • Audio sources (12 in, 8 out)
  • Video display mid-meeting area (Power, Aspect, Source)
  • DVD player controls

[edit] What's Planned

Eventually the goal is to have nearly everything in the Lab automated!

Looking into camera

Right Pin (3) = Brown (GND)
Bottom Right Pin (1) = Dark Blue (Receive maybe)
Bottom Left Pin (2) = Light Blue (Transmit maybe)
Orange = +12vdc
White Orange = GND for power
