The first thing I learned was how to connect a circuit with a switch to have control over if the LED light would turn on or off by just using the switch. I used two male cords, one on the negative side and another (male and female chord) on the positive side. The positive side where the male and female side was , I connected it to the longer side of the LED light which is the longest leg. For the negative male chord I connected it to a female chord, and finally after attaching the two male chords to the switch I turned the switch on and the LED light turned on.

The second thing I learned was how to use a bread board. Using four male chords on the one metal bar side I connected one of them to the other side (it was a negative) and the other chord I did same, only difference is that chord was connected to the positive side. The third male chord which is on the same metal bar as the others is connected to the positive hole and also connected to the switch which powers the circuit. The fourth male chord is on the same metal bard as the others and connects to the negative side of the coin holder. The positive side of the coin holder has another chord which connects the negative side to the switch. When you add an LED light you add it next to the two first chords which crossed the boarder of the bread board, turn on the switch and the light turned on.

To use a 9v battery you need a resister. Stick the positive end of the battery to the positive channel and the negative to the negative channel. When you take a wire, put it into the positive channel and then anywhere else on the breadboard. With the resister they don’t have positive or negative ends. Pug the resister in the same column as the battery then any other colum. With the LED put it in the same row  to the resister then anywhere else on the breadboard. Taking the short leg of the LED completes the circuit and turns it on.

LED it up…

Today in class we worked with LED lights and some other stuff to light up the lights!

 

Here some super cool pictures showing what we created (Photo creds to Oonagh):

LED 1 LED 2 LED 3

Doing these activities, I learned how to connect a battery and a switch to circuit board. I also learned how the placements of the wires effect the resister and the LED. They need to be lined. I also learned how to use a coin batter to light up an LED. The coin batter is a small circular object shaped like a coin, hence the name Coin batter. It fits int a small slot with then has 2 places to connect wires which you can attach to a circuit.

3D Sketchup Idea

Our group decided to create a pencil holder that would fit into the rectangular opening of Ms. McDonald’s front table. The pencil holder will be fit to size of the rectangular hole in the desk, then adjusted to be slightly small so the box can be lowered into the opening. A centimeter wide stability was placed around the top outside edge of the box so that it would be able to hold itself up on the table.

Meow Meow Mice Hanger

meowmeowmeow (1)  First we began sketching models of what the mice hanger’s should look like. We wanted a single hanger that could fit more than one mouse at a time, and we wanted a theme. Since one of the mouse’s most infamous enemy is the cat (Tom&Jerry) we decided that a mouse hanger shaped as a cat paw would work perfectly.  Making the final model on sketch-up was fairly difficult, with a lot of steps to make the mouse hanger look like a cat paw, we finally a final copy as to which the the mice will hopefully (If we win) will be hanging.

Learning Sketchup

I learned how to use guidelines, different perspective tools, paints and fillers, and how to move things around properly as well as build.  This was somewhat tough to do alone at first but was generally pretty easy.  Just somewhat frustrating at times.
