MANE 3351 - Manufacturing Engineering Analysis

Laboratory One Assignment

Assigned: September 10, 2025

Due: September 17, 2024 before 9:30 AM

Utilize Raspberry PI General Purpose Input/Output to control blinking an LED.

Equipment Needed

The following items are required to complete the first laboratory assignment and will be provided during laboratory session 3.

Raspberry Pi (already issued)
Quart Ziplock bag to store materials
1 breadboard
1 LED
4 female-to-male (fm or mf) jumper cables
1 male-to male (mm) jumper cable
1 miniature switch
1 220Ω resistor
1 10KΩ resistor

You may want to take a few extra jumper cables of each type. Future labs will also have equipment distributions.

Assignment

Step One

Construct the circuit shown below on a breadboard and connect to Raspberry Pi as shown. Note this information is found on page 10 of the CanaKit Raspberry Pi 4 Quick-start Guide that will be in some of your Raspberry Pi 4 boxes.

Step Two

Create a subdirectory on your Raspberry Pi for Lab One.

Step Three

Open the Thonny Python IDE on the Raspberry Pi and enter the following code. When the program is entered, save the file with a .py file name.

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import time

GPIO.setwarnings(False)
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
GPIO.setup(18, GPIO.OUT)
GPIO.setup(25,GPIO.IN)

while True:
  if GPIO.input(25):
    GPIO.output(18, False)
  else:
    GPIO.output(18, True)

Step Four

At the top of the file containing your Python code, add the following lines of documentation and save the file again.

# Your Name
# Class name and term
# Assignment

Step Five

Save and run the Python program. Hopefully, there will be no errors in the circuit and code and it will run immediately. Debug the schematic and code until everything works.

Step Six

Meet with Dr. Timmer in his office before the deadline (September 17, 2025 9:30 AM) and demonstrate your working laboratory one project.
