tinkerCAD案例:18. Glow Circuit Assembly 发光电路组件
In this tutorial, we’ll walk through how to use the Glow circuit assembly.
在本教程中,我们将演练如何使用 Glow 电路程序集。
Using the Glow circuit assembly, you’ll build a penguin that can light up when assembled with two real electronic components: a light-emitting diode (LED) and a battery!
使用 Glow 电路组件,您将构建一只企鹅,当它与两个真正的电子元件组装在一起时可以点亮:发光二极管 (LED) 和电池!
You can also use the Glow Circuit Assembly Lesson on Tinkercad to learn - it’s fun and easy!
您还可以使用 Tinkercad 上的辉光电路组装课程来学习 - 它既有趣又简单!
Circuit assemblies can be found in the “Electronics” dropdown in the Shapes Panel.
电路组件可以在“形状”面板的“电子”下拉列表中找到。
说明
-
Click the Shapes Panel dropdown and select “Electronics” from the list of Tinkercad Shapes.
单击“形状面板”下拉列表,然后从 Tinkercad 形状列表中选择“电子”。
-
Choose “Circuit Assemblies” to be shown the Glow, Move and Spin assemblies + Cutouts.
选择“电路组件”以显示发光,移动和旋转组件+切口。
-
Continue to the next step, where we’ll explore the Glow circuit assembly and Cutout.
继续下一步,我们将探索发光电路组件和切口。 -
The Glow circuit assembly on the right consists of a few different parts: a 3D printed holder (in red), a light-emitting diode (LED), and a battery. When the LED is powered by the battery, it lights up.
右侧的发光电路组件由几个不同的部分组成:3D打印支架(红色),发光二极管(LED)和电池。当 LED 由电池供电时,它会亮起。The Glow Cutout is a special hole designed to create a cavity for the Glove Circuit Assembly within a design.
辉光切口是一个特殊的孔,旨在为设计中的手套电路组件创建一个空腔。
说明
-
Drag out the Glow circuit assembly into the editor.
将“发光”电路组件拖出到编辑器中。
-
Drag out the Glow Cutout into the editor.
将发光切口拖到编辑器中。
-
Continue to the next step.
继续执行下一步。 -
In this step, we’ll see how the Glow circuit assembly and cutout fit together.
在此步骤中,我们将看到 Glow 电路组件和切口如何组合在一起。
说明
-
Select both the Glow Cutout and the Glow circuit assembly and click the Align button. Center both on the workplane by clicking on the two middle dots along the workplane.
同时选择“发光切口”和“发光”电路组件,然后单击“对齐”按钮。通过单击工作平面上的两个中间点,将两者居中。You may notice that the Glow circuit assembly extends beyond the cutout in several spots along it base. To ensure a tight fit between your design and the Circuit Assembly (called a press-fit), the circuit assembly is designed to be slightly bigger in those spots!
您可能会注意到,发光电路组件沿其底部的几个点延伸到切口之外。为了确保您的设计和电路组件之间的紧密配合(称为压配合),电路组件的设计在这些位置略大! -
Next, we’ll make the penguin transparent to make it easier to align with the cutout.
接下来,我们将使企鹅透明,以便更容易与切口对齐。
说明
-
Select the penguin, click on the Solid color in the inspector, and check the transparent box.
选择企鹅,单击检查器中的纯色,然后选中透明框。 -
In this step, we’ll group our design with the Glow cutout to make room for our Glow circuit assembly.
在此步骤中,我们将设计与 Glow 切口分组,以便为 Glow 电路组件腾出空间。说明
-
Click on the Top side of the View Cube to make it easier to position the cutout into our design.
单击视图立方体的顶部,以便更轻松地将切口定位到我们的设计中。
-
Drag the cutout so that it is centered around the penguin’s body. Don’t worry about moving the Glow circuit assembly for now - we will add that in the next step.
拖动切口,使其以企鹅的身体为中心。现在不用担心移动 Glow 电路组件 - 我们将在下一步中添加它。You may want to turn your Snap Grid off to more precisely align the shapes.
您可能希望关闭对齐网格以更精确地对齐形状。
-
Select both the cutout and the penguin and click the Group button to group the objects together. Notice how once your design is grouped with a cutout, it cannot be scaled. This is to make sure your design will still fit snugly around the circuit assembly when it is printed.
选择切口和企鹅,然后单击“组”按钮将对象分组在一起。请注意,一旦您的设计被切口分组,它就无法缩放。这是为了确保您的设计在打印时仍然紧贴在电路组件周围。
-
Rotate the camera to check out how the cutout has created a cavity in the penguin that we can fit the Glow circuit assembly into.
旋转相机以查看切口如何在企鹅中创建一个空腔,我们可以将 Glow 电路组件安装到其中。
-
-
Now let’s add the Circuit Assembly to our design.
现在让我们将电路组件添加到我们的设计中。
说明
-
Click on the Top of the View Cube to make it easier to align our Glow circuit assembly with the penguin.
单击视图立方体的顶部,以便更轻松地将我们的发光电路组件与企鹅对齐。
-
Drag the Glow circuit assembly so that it is visually aligned with the cavity in the penguin.
拖动发光电路组件,使其在视觉上与企鹅中的空腔对齐。 -
When exporting your circuit assembly, you will want to export it separately from your design. In this step, we’ll export the Penguin and Glow circuit assembly individually.
导出电路装配体时,需要将其与设计分开导出。在此步骤中,我们将分别导出企鹅和辉光电路程序集。
说明
-
Click the Bottom side of the View Cube so you can more easily select the circuit assembly.
单击视图立方体的底部,以便更轻松地选择电路组件。
