Circuits without coding

To start with circuits, we understood  the basic sign and symbols and were ready to start with the circuits.
First was as simple as just connecting the power source with one of the LED.
For which we used our coin battery of 3 volts with LED



Next was making the same circuit on bread board using burg wires (male to male), because the previous was very unstable.
Next  was using a switch in the same circuit and control the flow of current when pushed the button.

Next was using 450ohm and 10kilo ohm resistor to see the difference in LED intensity due to resistors and decreasing current flow.













Now we changed the output device in first circuit, which was LED with a buzzer.

Next was learning series and parallel connection on bread board.










SWITCHES  :-
Force Sensor – Force sensor is a variable resistance and can also work as switch.The force changes the value of resistance and in case of switch can close a circuit when force applied and also records the value of pressure applied accordingly.
Tilt Sensor or switch -  as explained in kit was used as it does not need any coding , the output device reacts according to the state of circuit. If circuit is on / close the device will give output either it will be switched off.
Tilt sensors are used in cars  and to detct the changes in axes.

Reed Switch  - Reed switch is made of two flaps of a material which gets influenced by magnetic field and such witch can be used to close a circuit in magnetic field and remain open in absence of magnetic field.
This switch can be used for hands free switch. and can be used in products for magic tricks.


Flex  Sensor – Flex sensor is a sensor which measures the amount of  flex or bending force applied on the sensor, and it does not need any coding but the burg wires are connected to aurdino  uno to get the values on device.
Used in door sensors.

Water sensor – It has tracks of circuits on it, and as one can figure out the process for what it is used is detection of water.
It can be used for detecting humidity (if made more accurate) and rain.

Learning basics : {NOSTALGIA HITS}

In our  beginning sessions , we were introduced the basics of current , resistance and circuitry and all so that we could relate the information in the real world and it does not seem like a theoretical sessions to just mug up the facts. In my higher secondary education, 3 years back I had Physics as one of my core subjects and I loved it. All the basics were just turning the pages of  my school lectures for me. So it was a bit nostalgic when same information was again being delivered to me. It helped me there. I made some notes on the learning session and merged my own thoughts as I knew the concepts already so that anyone reading them would understand them better . Current  – Flow of electrons is called as current. It can have 2 directions depending on the direction of flow of electrons. Unit of measurement of current is Ampere(A) Types of current Direct Current (DC) – Current which has only one direction and does not change its direction is ca...

Introducing New SUBJECT

As a product designer in making, I need to make prototypes and in today’s era there are minimal products which do not have a single circuit and uses only mechanics,  products have come a long way and have become more and more automatic. Like a a door is not just an entrance which is pushed to open, there are doors which open as soon as a human steps towards it. Simplest and biggest example of a product with sensors is right there with us right now our Smart phone. It has got accelerometer, gyroscope, proximity, motion sensors and has got many functions more than to just call and connect with people. To keep up with the world and make products in 2018 and further,   We  needed to understand their working and   start using them in prototyping stage and to do that we should have basic level of  understanding of available sensors , which are cheap, which one to use and to learn basic level programming . So all of the above is true and for that reason this...
