Week one's readings and videos introduces all components that could be use in a circuit design. For some parts, I had a knowledge before, but the others are new skill sets for me. The components that been talks in the reading are : conductors, insulators, resistors, capacitors. And the basic for

Lab 1 Process: Test out stepper motor going on and off. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/006e2b_2731b9c65cbb40a99e5529619eb7eec4/1080p/mp4/file.mp4 Use potentiometer to control the speed and direction of the stepper motor. https://video.wixstatic.com/video/006e2b_3b73c3a796bb40d6980554eccd4f4b

Questions after Lab: • How to find the a relatively accurate range for the force sensing resistor? I find it difficult to adjust the volume of the speaker or the angle of the servo motor. • The resistors that control three tones of the speaker is vogue to hear. I used two types of the FSR, one typ

A breadboard is a tool for holding the components of your circuit, and connecting them together. A voltage regulator is optional. The short strips in the center separated by the divider, and the long strips down the side. To set up a breadboard: All the holes in each of these lines are connected t

There are two common types of digital inputs: switches and pushbuttons. The difference between dual throw switches and single throw switches is the different number of contractors. There are also single pole switches and dual pole switches. Dual is to control two circuit using the same mechanism.

Concept & Inspirations: Arduino Testing with components: • Test Out Two Joysticks with Switch Button: https://editor.p5js.org/lr2855/sketches/_28fJIo28 Problems need to solve: 1. Lagging mouse dragging. 2. Insensitive Selection. Temperarily Solution: Change the game to a single player game.

Digital Input and Output: • Programming Arduino to control a switch and LEDS. • Learning input and output. Questions after Lab: How to test the breadboard is wired correctly before been programmed? Lab Process: Analog Input: • The use case of a potentiometer in a circuit. • Using a potent

How to test the meter: Insert the two probes. Insert the Black probe in the “COM” jack. This is the COMmon, or ground, connection. The Red probe should be in the “V” jack. This connection is for measuring voltage. It can also be used to measure resistance in Ohms, or frequency in megaHertz, on the m
