Science in Progress #2: The Circuit that Would Not Die
The next installment of our Warning: Science in Progress! video blog is finally ready. This one was a blast to put together, not least because we are sporting our brand-new lab coats from American Science and Surplus.
In this episode, we demonstrate the use of a capacitor using a simple circuit involving a battery, a push-button switch, a resistor, and an LED. We are also joined by a special guest star.
The file size is very large, but it is hopefully worth the download time…
1 commentWarning! Science in Progress! Episode 1, Arduino Blinks Into Existence
As I talked about earlier, Lydia and I are working on learning electronics together using the Arduino programmable microcontroller. Here’s the first episode of our video blog, in which Lydia demonstrates the “hello world” of electronic circuits: The Blinking LED.
