Variable Resistor 5 V GND V+
Practical 8 – Everything • Let’s use everything we learned to build a full circuit with all the features we want! • The switch activates maximum brightness • The variable resistor controls brightness
Practical 5 – Voltage Divider • A voltage divider places the LED in parallel with the second resistor. • This should be half as bright as when the LED was in series with only the 100Ω resistor.
Changeover Switch • Changeover switches let you choose 2 inputs. • If one pipe is empty, a changeover switch is the same as a normal on/off switch. • Our switches have 3 connectors for this. • We will leave one disconnected. • Electronic symbol: 5 V 0 mA GND V+
