Day 3: In which I learn to use various electronic components on a breadboard.

 This is my setup on a breadboard to use switches to turn an LED light on and off. This was built off a schematic. Two lessons learned here: how to use a switch, and how to read off a schematic.

 In this setup, I used a relay and a push button to . This was also read off of a schematic. I am really enjoying the fact that we are getting into things that I can see working in the world around me.

This setup uses a push button, a relay, and a capacitor to make two LED lights blink link a turn signal in a car. Of course, our lights went much quicker because we had very small capacitors. This setup was difficult for me because my we discovered that my relay may have a higher voltage to set it off than other ones and the 9V battery that was doing the job just 15 minutes prior was not getting past the threshold anymore.
