Acting out electrons

After reading the article https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/what-is-electricity, we chose the following image;

Measuring volts, current and resistance

Measuring voltage

  • Multimeter
  • 9 Volt battery (5V in the tutorial)
  • 9 Volt battery clip for in a breadboard
  • 470 Ohm resistor (1K Ohm in the tutorial)
  • LED
  • breadboard

Measuring resistance

  • Multimeter
  • 3 random resistors
  • 3 resistors of the same value
  • breadboard

Measuring current

  • Multimeter
  • 9 Volt battery (5V in the tutorial)
  • 9 Volt battery clip for in a breadboard
  • 470 Ohm resistor (1K Ohm in the tutorial)
  • LED
  • breadboard

Measuring voltage and current in a series circuit

  • Multimeter
  • 9 Volt battery (5V in the tutorial)
  • 9 Volt battery clip for in a breadboard
  • 3 resistors random resistors
  • breadboard

Measuring voltage and current in a parallel circuit

  • Multimeter
  • 9 Volt battery (5V in the tutorial)
  • 9 Volt battery clip for in a breadboard
  • 3 resistors random resistors
  • breadboard



Making a circuit

!!Assignment

Form duo's Collect all the parts of the BOM (get a helping hand) Download the NE555 datasheet, read it. Choose a schematic Choose a desired method to make the circuit and make it (work)! Read the How to Solder and maybe practice first. Watch the polarity of components! Prevent short circuits, 'solder bridges', good luck!


DIY project

Within the practice Digital Craft I'll be focussing on making a DIY tattoo gun, as this also connects with my ongoing project titled Vessel:pain=pleasure. This project kickstarted about six months ago, the first time I got a hold on a needle and some ink, since then I've been hand poking myself and others. Currently I'm looking for other ways in which I can apply DIY tattoos (in a safe and hygienic way).
