Administrative stuff • Turn in your HW #3! • Here is HW #4! Due on 27 July (last day of class) • Your 5 minute presentation will be on 27 July (last day of class) • Clay will go over any last details and questions you have on Monday
The basics • Ohms Law: • Electrical Power: • You can combine the two to find necessary constraints based off your requirements:
Multiple resistors • Parallel resistors work to reduce overall resistance • Series resistors add up to increase overall resistance
Electrical symbols • Resistors – • Capacitors – • LED – • Ground –
Light up an LED • What happens if you don’t have a resistor? • What happens when you change the resistor?
Capacitor • A way of storing charge – higher value means more charge • Pushing button causes current to flow & capacitor charges • Releasing button allows capacitor to discharge – LED fades out instead of immediately turning off
The 555 timer • We will be doing a few simple examples with this chip • Used in a variety of applications, including timing and oscillators • Sends pulses based on a voltagethreshold • Another example of engineerscreating something new
The 555 timer • Note the pin numbering scheme! This is important for the circuit!
Pulsing LED • Internal switching causes the voltage out to be on or off – square wave
Music notes • Internal switching causes the voltage out to be on or off
