Getting To Know Your Tools
This project allowed me to build circuits, more specifically, I was able to build a series circuit and a parallel circuit. Although no coding was involved, I did use a couple of tools to create the circuits.
Bill of Materials
- 2 Switches (interrupts the flow of electricity, breaking the circuit when open)
- LED (light-emitting diode, a component that converts electrical energy into light energy)
- Resistor (a component that resists the flow of electrical energy)
- Wires
- Breadboard
- Arduino Board

Series Circuit
This circuit allowed me to press both buttons at the same time and make the LED light up. As opposed to the parallel circuit it I could press either button and the LED would still light up, however it required another wire. (more pics and vids coming soon)
