Setup Page For PHYS141 Moments Of Inertia Lab

  • IoLab device for each station.
    • Check that dongle is properly paired with device.
    • Check that batteries are at least 2.8V in software.
    • No accessories needed in the box.
  • One pair of hoops that fit over body of IoLab device. Hoops are cut from a cylindrical shipping tube and just happen to be about the correct size. I cut them approximately 3/4“ wide and use a fine file to dress up the outer and inner edges.

Boards and hoops are stored in cabinet space under NE corner of island bench in KPTC216.
