A simple circuit definition is a closed loop of a conductor that electrons can travel around, usually consisting of a power source (a battery, for example) and an electrical component or device (like a resistor or a light bulb) and conducting wire. Circuits are the center of ALL THINGS COMPUTERS! Computers are a collection of circuits that can read and store data. We utilize circuits with our raspberry pi projects to understand how computers can power components, read and store data, and much more!
Have trouble waking up in the morning? Want an awesome Raspberry Pi project to get you started?
In this project you will learn how to wire and program an LCD alarm clock using Python.
A potentiometer is a type of position sensor that can adjust voltage. The potentiometer was invented in 1872 to control the amount of electricity going to a component by Thomas Edison at the age of 25.
In this project, we will use the ADC function of an ADC Module to read the voltage value of a potentiometer.
Learn how to make an LED Wave Circuit and further understand how a light strip works using pulse width modulation.
In robotic arms and 3D printers, we need motors that can move very precisely in small, controlled increments. Stepper motors offer this functionality, as well as high torque at low speeds/rest, at the expense of raw speed and dead-simple control.
In this project learn the basics of Stepper Motors and L293D Motors.
This project goes over what the Internet of Things is and gives a tutorial on how to use it to remotely control
an LED from your phone.
